AUDIO TRANSCRIPT

Narrator: Breakfasts around the world. The most important meal of the day.
Narrator: Everyone knows that eating a good breakfast gives you the best start to the day. But, around the world, there are many different types of breakfast. Let’s take a look at some of them.
Narrator: In Germany, breakfast is a big meal that people usually eat at home. There are plates of cold meat and cheese on the table, as well as bread, butter, and eggs. People help themselves to what they want, and they often eat from a small board instead of a plate.
Narrator: In Japan, the main breakfast foods are rice and fish. These are served with a clear soup and pickles. There might be other side dishes like vegetables or eggs, and the whole meal is very good for you. People drink green tea at breakfast.
Narrator: In Argentina, breakfast is more informal. People go out to buy pastries. There are many shapes of pastry, and they have lots of different fillings like fruit, cream, or even sweet potato. A popular drink is a strong type of tea called maté. Maté is served in a special cup made from a vegetable called a gourd, and people use a straw to drink it.
Narrator: And the breakfast classic - waffles? Where do they come from? Belgium, of course. People have their waffles with strawberries and cream and even chocolate. Chocolate is also part of a popular Dutch breakfast. In the Netherlands, even adults enjoy toast with butter and chocolate sprinkles.
