They say he is responsible for half of all child deaths.

There is nothing original about the Cuban daily breakfast. It's just a sandwich made of bread and butter, which, surprisingly, Cubans first dip in sweetened bread. But their coffee has a twist - they always add a pinch of salt.

Instead of a sandwich with butter, Cubans prefer the national Cuban sandwich with low-fat cheese, pickles, ham, and lettuce (for everyone). It is served with pieces.

This breakfast not only pleases your eyes in the morning, but also your hungry stomach. Scrambled eggs or an omelet covered with slices or sausages (paruvki), two potato pancakes with sour cream will provide energy until lunch, and some even until dinner.

Poles cannot do without vegetables or fruit in the morning.

The dish is usually eaten with sweet toppings. A real fruitcake is not complete without Filmolk - local milk, nourishing, tasty, very thick, similar in consistency to yogurt. This milk is seasoned with cereal, berries, sugar or jam, and cinnamon.

To combat the chilly weather, a hot, hearty breakfast is essential. A dish called Hafragrautur is a regular one, to which brown sugar is added, sprinkled with raisins and nuts.

Also present in Icelandic cuisine a large number of fish and meat. The fish is being prepared different ways– smoked, salted, fried, boiled, pickled, baked and cured. They also make puree from the fish.

They will delight the eye with bright colors and saturate the body with vitamins from guava, orange, passion fruit or mango.

Italians do not overload themselves with breakfast. And for what? After all, they have a very filling lunch of psata or pizza. And in the early morning they prefer to eat a croissant on the go and wash it down with a cup of aromatic strong coffee, maybe even with milk.

Argentine breakfast is very simple and not original. This is a rich fresh bun and... Instead of a bun, there can be bread. Traditional drinks of Latin America - coffee, cocoa or tea with milk - are also preferred here.

Its composition is very reminiscent of an English breakfast - scrambled eggs or scrambled eggs, fried sausages, bacon and sausages with a side dish of beans and tomatoes. This breakfast is very high in calories and helps you gain strength before a busy day.

You can also see potato pancakes, white and blood sausage on the Irish table in the morning.

In Ghana

This dish looks very strange and unusual - cassava breaded with breadcrumbs and spices.
In addition, on the morning table you can find regular food - boiled, fried eggs or omelet, fruit, bread.

In Uganda

For a European, such a breakfast will seem unusual - baked green banana served with vegetable sauce and stewed meat. But this is not the only option. Almost all types of breakfasts contain green stewed banana - katogo.

This breakfast is, first of all, tasty and, of course, nutritious - the porridge is baked with mushrooms, shrimp and bacon. For dessert, a bun with jam and a cup of aromatic coffee.

Costa Rican breakfast is considered very filling, and at the same time original and tasty. Traditional dish is the Galo Pinto made with rice and black beans. For variety, you can add corn tortilla and salsa. Some people prefer to add ripe fried banana, avocado and meat.

The traditional and very interesting breakfast here is manga. According to legend, the name of this dish comes from the English “Man, this is good!”, when members of the US armed forces were delighted with such a treat and shouted this phrase. This is mashed boiled bananas, always with butter, cheese, an omelette egg and salami.

To finish, drink hot chocolate.

In Turkey

This breakfast includes more than one type of cheese, olives, butter. Vegetables: cucumbers, tomatoes, herbs. And for sweets – jam or with delicious tea.

Maybe have a Russian, American or Swedish style snack before bed today? Helsingin Sanomat correspondents found out what they eat in other countries before heading to the side.

Black slime on toast

With over 60 million people living in the UK, there are plenty of options for evening meals across the country. Different food cultures mix. It is believed that many people in England love Indian curry.

However, there is one brunch option that reflects British tastes: Marmite toast.

Marmite is a salty and tart paste containing yeast extract. Its aesthetic is reminiscent of the Finnish Easter dish mämmi. Both delicacies resemble black slime, which at first glance may seem quite repulsive.

Marmite is a brand that some time later became the name of pasta. Opinions vary about Marmite, some love it and some hate it. I myself have never met a Brit who would admit to hating Marmite.

Dinner with Marmite is quick and easy. Make some toast. Soft white bread is still popular in the UK, although I'm trying to make healthier choices myself.

The toasted toast is first buttered. Marmite is then spread on top. Everyone decides for themselves how much paste is enough. You shouldn't eat too much Marmite before bed because you'll get thirsty at night.

A more formal version of Marmite toast is baked with cheddar cheese in the oven. I love the combination of Marmite and avocado. Marmite may not look great on bread, but this spread tastes very good.

Marmite is also suitable for breakfast and snacking. Let the children eat bread and jam. For adults we need something more serious.

The “everything” bagel is a great symbol of America

There is no late-night snack culture in America. Americans often wonder why Finns make sandwiches after dinner.

Dinner is eaten later in the USA than in Finland, around six or seven. This is due to long working days and travel. Therefore, there is no need for an evening snack.

However, this does not mean that Americans do not look into the refrigerator in the evening. In front of the TV, everyone eats ice cream, berries and chips. In the United States there is no culture of snacking before bed, but there is a culture of snacking at any time of the day.

In our house in Washington, only the kids eat something before bed. This snack is the same as all the neighborhood kids: a bagel with cream cheese.

The bagel is a traditional East Coast delicacy: a slightly moist and chewy bagel. It began to be prepared in the Polish Jewish ghetto in the 17th century, and these baked goods migrated to the United States with settlers.

Nowadays, a basic bagel is like vanilla: boring. For example, blueberries, chocolate, cranberries, muesli, banana, nuts and jalapenos are added to the dough. Top the bagel with sesame seeds, poppy seeds or grated cheese.

My kids' favorite flavor is “everything,” which has salt and various seeds on top of this bagel. “Everything in a row” is a great symbol of America.

In restaurants, the salmon bagel is a breakfast dish with so many fillings that it can barely fit in your mouth. This bagel has salmon in it, cream cheese, red onion, tomatoes and capers.

In our family, the kids eat bagels as an after-school snack. It's worth buying a whole bag of them right away, because it always seems like a bunch of boys are bursting into the kitchen, and everyone has their own favorite bagel option.

I myself believe that the bagel is an ideal option for a conspiracy of parents against children. With a bagel you can feed anything to children. Spinach bagel? Bagel with morels? Salmiakki bagel? Now mom will cook for you!

Crispbread and curdled milk

A Swedish evening snack is not exotic for Finns, however unusual details still there is.

Swedish families don't have an evening snack every day, says Karin Hjälmeskog, chairman of the Home Economics Teachers' Committee. Her family, however, likes to have a snack before bed, and the name of this meal is kvällsfika. That is, “evening coffee.”

“They usually drink tea instead of coffee, but children can drink cocoa,” she says.

Swedes love cheese sandwiches. Rye bread is less common in Sweden, and the most traditional choice is crispbread. Soft bread, however, is also gradually gaining popularity.

I decided to consult with my friend, who has two children. She thinks that yogurt and cereal are suitable for an evening meal.

I go to the nearest store for these products. I buy a large round crispy grain bread. On the shelf with fermented milk products Most cheeses are sold in large pieces; there are quite a few light cheeses. Jelmeskog recommends semi-hard herrgårdsost cheese with a fat content of 28%. The classic hard cheese västerbottenost, suitable for a festive feast, would be much richer. I take a liter of one and a half percent Swedish curdled milk. On the way home I buy a freshly baked grain bun.

This cannot be called exotic at all, but there is still something unusual. The bread is thin and crispy, a little crispy, the cheese is quite ordinary, but with a nutty flavor. Curdled milk is a little surprising with its strong acidity and wateriness. It doesn't even stay on a spoon!

Russian evening snack: late, modest and sweet

Russia is replete with features of different nationalities, and on a holiday, Russians put different snacks on the table. On a normal day, Russians have a rather modest meal before bed.

The most important thing is tea.

Modesty stems from the fact that dinner is often eaten late, at seven or eight o'clock in the evening. Then the table often ends up with potatoes with meat or buckwheat, rice with chicken. There are usually no drinks at all, because, according to Russians, there is already enough liquid in the food.

Before going to bed, they drink tea, which is usually sweetened with honey. Russia is a true honey power, and honey from your dacha neighbor’s apiary often demonstrates excellent value for money.

The tea was of high quality Soviet time, but in this sense the Russians backed down: tea bags came into fashion in the 1990s, and “proper” brewed tea has not surpassed them in popularity since then. On the other hand, Russians are very fond of green and herbal teas- there is plenty of such tea. Everyone has their own opinion about which collection is best, which one is calming and which one is invigorating.

Tea is often drunk from glasses, and the bag is not removed during tea drinking. Let it float.

A common snack with evening tea is something sweet, such as a piece of cake or a cupcake with frosting. Russian Yubileiny cookies are an eternal classic. Dumplings are popular, and in the evening it’s nice to eat dumplings with cottage cheese.

In the morning, the Finn, of course, thinks about how good it is to live in a country where they know a lot about oatmeal.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, although it varies from country to country. If in America you can eat pancakes and bacon for breakfast, then, for example, in Thailand the main “highlights of the program” are fish, pork and rice. Travel enthusiast Victoria Philpott decided to document breakfasts in the countries she visited. The girl shares with us delicious photos of a wide variety of breakfasts around the world. Of course, there’s no arguing about tastes, but it’s always interesting to see who eats what breakfast.

Photographer Peter Menzel, as part of the Hungry Planet project, travels the world to photograph families in different countries and their weekly grocery purchases.

By studying these photographs, you can come to very interesting conclusions about the benefits or harms of certain products that are popular in each region. For example, American families eat fast food, chips, candy bars and other second-rate products.
The Germans, as you might guess, have a large amount of beer and other alcoholic drinks. And the residents of Ecuador have 100% healthy eating: cereals, fruits and vegetables.

Each photo has a small caption with the cost of grocery shopping for the week, as well as the culinary preferences of each family. Unfortunately, in most families meat dishes predominate. The author of these photographs tried to choose the average full-fledged families in each country. The number of family members in a family varies from 4 to 15 people! But paradoxically, families of 10 people can spend 10 times less on food than families of 4 people in other countries. Unhealthily appearance Most European families can conclude that they are just biomachines for the round-the-clock processing of food biomass into rotting manure.

You can also trace the relationship between the development of the country and the amount of second-rate products in the weekly consumption ration. In European countries, various store-bought drinks, refined foods and other benefits of civilizations that are necessary to feed bio-slaves predominate. In Arab and underdeveloped countries, cereals, fruits and vegetables predominate. All photos are sorted in descending order of product cost. But, since the photographs were taken over several years, one should not draw clear conclusions based on them.
