I had a Dutch roommate once who routinely ate sprinkles on toast for breakfast — she called it traditional.

Half my family is from the Caribbean and I’ll admit we eat some odd things (all manner of salted fruit for example), but I have a hard time computing sprinkle toast as a complete meal

    It is! Hagelslag on bread is very much a Dutch traditional food.

    Bread, apply butter, pour chocolate sprinkles on. Eat.

    So many people don't appreciate how good high-quality butter is!

    Thank you! Nobody I've pointed this out to seems to understand what an abomination cold butter on raw bread, with sprinkles is, I thought I was the crazy one.

    It's a treasured tradition in Australia and New Zealand: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy_bread

    The first time I ever heard of this was in the game Dinkum. That was when I discovered Australians apparently say "hundreds and thousands" to refer to what we call sprinkles. I appreciate most of our little differences but that one puzzles me.

    I do love (quality) sprinkles on straight-up white bread, but I will usually toast the bread first and put on a thin layer of peanut butter instead of butter.

    Dollar-store generic sprinkles are AWFUL. De Ruijter or bust.
