What is your first thought when you open your eyes every morning? "What to eat for breakfast?" Different countries have their own characteristics of diet. Children's breakfast should be richer and more nutritious for adults, right? Regarding this issue, The New York Times has done research on the breakfasts of children all over the world, hoping to share with you the breakfast culture of various countries in the world. This article will tell you what children around the world eat for breakfast.

Japanese children like to eat natto, which is almost one of the children's favorite foods, and it is also one of their fixed menus for breakfast every day. A traditional Japanese breakfast usually includes white rice, miso soup, Tsukakuzu squash, pickled cucumbers, tamagoyaki and grilled salmon.

A hearty Saturday breakfast for kids in Istanbul includes honey cream on toast, butter, green and black olives, fried eggs, pepperoni, hard-boiled eggs, grape jam, assorted cheeses, papaya and blackberry jam, sweet pastries, noodles, tomatoes, cucumbers, daikon and other fresh vegetables. In addition to these, there is a sauce made from roasted red peppers, hazelnut-flavored halva, milk and freshly squeezed orange juice. While breakfasts on Saturdays are richer and more refined than usual, the breakfasts of the average family in Istanbul are just as eye-opening as the typical Turkish breakfast hodgepodge.

Parisian children's breakfast is the same almost every day: a kiwi, a small plate of creamy blackberry jam, baguettes, cereal with milk, and a glass of fresh orange juice. There will also be a small dessert.

Malawian children typically have porridge made from soybean and peanut flour for breakfast, and fried food made from corn, flour, onions, peppers and boiled sweet potatoes and pumpkins. There are also dark red drinks made with hibiscus flowers and sugar. Sometimes they also drink black tea in the morning, which is a common drink among Malawian children.

People in Iceland often eat cereals as their staple food. Children’s breakfasts also generally include oatmeal, usually with brown sugar or maple syrup, cooked in milk or water, and served with fruit or whipped cream. Sunlight is the main source of vitamin D, but here, for a small part of the year, it only illuminates the Icelandic horizon. So children here will often eat fish oil to supplement vitamin D. Many kindergartens in Iceland also distribute cod liver oil to children in the morning.

Dutch children's breakfast is a glass of milk, bread, unsalted butter and their favorite sweets. According to statistics, the Dutch eat at least 750,000 slices of bread every day, and about 300 million slices of bread every year. The most popular of these is bread with a chocolate filling called "hagelslag".

Brazilian kids usually have cheese and bread spread with cream for breakfast. Some children will drink it with chocolate milk, and some children will drink it with coffee. For many Brazilian parents, getting their kids to drink coffee is a cultural tradition. Many also believe that coffee provides vitamins and antioxidants, and drinking a little coffee with milk in the morning can help children focus on school. But some pediatricians have warned that coffee should be in moderation.
