The typical weekend treat would be a boiled egg to go with the slices
of bread.

My grandparents were farmers, we used to visit them for a weeks once a
year. Ryebread with cheese, lots of tea was always for breakfast.

On the occasion that family visited them grandpa would slaughter a
chicken, which was crazy for a kid: a running chicken without a head!
The chicken was for soup, for all the days that we were visiting.
I dont have to mention that they were kind of poor, do I?

A school-breakfast was never common here. One ate at home.
