Adults eat sprinkles for breakfast

Everyone has a child within them. The Dutch have a dish called hagelslag, which is extremely popular. Fully mature men and women eat hundreds and thousands of eggs for breakfast every everyday. They smear butter on their bread and then liberally sprinkle colorful sprinkles on top. The word 'hagelslag' literally means 'hailstorm.'

Hail, sweet and syrupy. Hagelslag is available in around 20 various flavors, including chocolate, forest fruits, and gingerbread. A highly specific sort of hagelslag known as'muisjes' ('mice') is used to commemorate the birth of a child. Muisjes are aniseed sprinkles that are pink if the baby is a girl and blue if the baby is a boy.

Parents who are overjoyed sit about and eat these sugar-coated pellets while chatting about how delighted they are. Each year, the Dutch consume over 14 million kilos of hagelslag, roughly equivalent to one hundred blue whales. Of course, they've created orange muisjes.
