Salt and bread make the cheeks red.
Even though the last minutes in bed in the morning taste unspeakably good, one must not dawdle so that there is no time to eat a proper breakfast. A slice of bread on edge and a gulp of coffee is not sufficient underpinning for the day's work. It is too little to go on. Do all those who talk about "no appetite in the morning" give themselves time to eat in peace and quiet? Is it not often the rush and fuss to get to work on time that takes away the appetite? But it is not enough that one eats well at breakfast; one must also eat right — the nutrients the body and brain need to be able to do good work.
Here are three different breakfasts composed according to these principles: the simple school breakfast, the daily breakfast, and the Sunday breakfast.
Sunday breakfast stands for many as the week's most pleasant meal, a meal at which the whole family is gathered. Never does the coffee taste better, never is a freshly baked croissant more highly prized.
Sunday breakfast. Grapefruit, coffee, milk, butter, whole-grain bread, fresh croissants, and rusks. Soft-boiled egg, liver pâté, herring garnished with tomato, beets, and onion. Fruit in mayonnaise, cheese, and marmalade.
Rusks: ½ kg. rye or wheat groats, ½ kg. wheat flour, 200 gr. butter crumbled into 5 to 6 dcl. water. 60 gr. yeast dissolved in a little water. Everything is worked well and made into about 25 buns, which are placed on a tray to rise. Put into a not-too-hot oven. (Cont. page 132)
