The ruling, which was made by a tax court in the city of Münster, stated that breakfast does not consist of just bread rolls and hot drinks, it is also accompanied by cold cuts, cheese or spreads, German media reported.

Odd, I've never thought of cold cuts, cheese, or spreads as breakfast foods.

Continental breakfast. The rolls were bakery fresh though unlike most of our fare until we've caught up a bit. I haven't been to Germany, but IIRC it also included orange juice.

I'm amazed they didn't mention Nutella by name - every time I visit Germany, that seems to be a standard part of breakfast.

Why would something that is given away,free,be taxed?

Good for the judge. Lol

What about islamist gored sheep blood? Is that breakfast? Or they just never comment about Hallal stuff? I mean, if they want to nanny what is what I eat, they might as well come out the closet and demand hallal while at it!

I wouldn’t consider tax on anything that did not have a brace of fried eggs, taters, ham steaks and biscuits and gravy.

Und eine kaffee, bitte.

Silly Germans if it’s not steak and eggs it’s not breakfast.
(Continental breakfast = yuck )

In 1977 I was on a business trip in the U.K., and stayed two nights at the Lydney Feathers Hotel. Quaint, lovely little hotel. The pub was the hot spot in the town of Lydney.

The second morning as I awaited a ride with a business associate heading for Antwerp I stopped downstairs after checking out, and asked for a bread roll, and a cup of hot black coffee. The young lady did her best to suppress her astonishment, turned, and headed into the kitchen.

My ride arrived earlier than I expected, and I went to the kitchen to find the young lady whom had waited my table to tell her to please cancel the order as I had to leave NOW. I heard from the kitchen as I approached in an almost mocking British accent “Ol E wanted was a roll, and Cohff E.”

I almost busted up I was laughing so hard. Hope I didn’t hurt her feelings. She was obviously a very nice, and pretty young lady.

It’s not “free” I’m sure tax was paid to purchase it to provide for employees. Germany sounds far too invasive and so nanny-state that it’s poised to cross back over into something ugly again.

Thank G-d they cleared that up. It was probably the most pressing threat to humanities continued existence.

Yesterday I stopped myself from buying waffles and maple syrup. We had that for breakfast a few times during vacation. That can’t go on.
