This is what the typical Breakfast of mine looks like. It is called 3 K Breakfast (Kaffee, Kippe, kacken), which translates roughly into: "Take a coffee, take a cigarette, take a dump!"  ;) Maybe a common German dinner table would be more suitable, it can be served as breakfast, too. Unlike the stuff I usually post here, the normal German dinner table is made up from bread and different toppings, the most common being cold cuts, sausages like polony or mortadella and various cheeses. We had some conventional bread rolls and some "Milchbrötchen" (milk buns), made of a very puffy yeast dough with milk. A few years ago it was uncommon to being able to buy bread rolls in the evening, as most bakers made their daily share only in the early morning and sold them out until noon. The only stuff available in the evening was bread in various shapes and variants, usually sour dough wheat or rye variants. This is a good example for a typical German rye bread (the lumps are baked-in sunflower seeds):  The gas stations (the only local places where you can buy foods and stuff after 8pm) started to sell "fresh" (as in frozen and then baked on site) buns some time ago, and after some protest and legal blurb from the bakers' side, the bakers followed suit and kept their ovens going until afternoon, resulting in fresh buns for the better part of the day. YAY for the oil multis! ;) So, this is the gold standard of german bakery, the common bread roll:   And the milk bun:   I started with some "Quark" and homemade cherry marmalade on the milk bun. After I learned that Quark is uncommon in the US, this is how it is sold over here (We had a no-name brand) and how it actually looks:    It has got a much more liquid structure than eg Philadelphia brand cream cheese and comes unsalted, making it a fine base for hearty as well as sweet dishes. Marmalade/jam in all shapes goes very well with it:  The second half of the milk bun was prepared with Nutella (I think that no explanations are necessary:D. If I am mistaken, please post your questions):   Now for the traditional bread roll. I prepared the first half with some danish cream cheese and cress:  The second half went with some peanut butter and... ...not jelly (I did not have the guts to try it out), but a slice of medium-aged Gouda:  See, it's "Quality *USA*", so it can't be bad, eh? :)  And this is the result:  If you can get a grip on bread rolls, try them out for peanut butter jelly stuff instead of sammich slices. They complement nice with the creamy peanut butter. Now for the main course. The friendly butcher guy had some nice roastbeef cold cuts, so who am I to pass on that?  Add a hint of remoulade / sauce tartare and off you go:  A classic variant is a cut of polony or mortadella on the bread roll, which can be topped with a hint of mustard. The wife had a cut of polony that was made with some peppers inside:  And some cheese for the pre-dessert. I don't know if the Babybel brand cheese is known outside of the EU, it is a small semi-soft dairy cheese which comes in roughly tablespoon or half-pound sizes. Its main characteristic is a wax shell/rind which covers the mild and slightly sour cheese. the small ones are sold in quantities of six, contained in a small hairnet, not unlike onions.    Dessert itself was a cold bar of "kinder" brand chocolate with a cooled milk cream and caramel filling:    Enjoy! from Bonn. I dare you to comment and post your questions!:lol

Thanks for some great ideas. I never considered tartar sauce on roast beef. I'll have to give that a try. As for your 3K breakfast, that's pretty much what I do now, sans the cigarette.
