zajtrést

Zajtrést is a term that refers to the morning meal, commonly known as breakfast in English. It is derived from Slavic languages, where "zaj" relates to "before" or "early" and "trést" signifies "to eat" or "meal." This meal typically marks the beginning of the day and is often considered one of the most important meals for providing energy after a period of fasting overnight.

The specific components of a zajtrést can vary greatly depending on cultural traditions, regional preferences, and individual dietary habits. In many European cultures, a typical zajtrést might include bread or pastries, cheese, cold cuts, eggs, and beverages such as coffee, tea, or milk. In other parts of the world, zajtrést can consist of savory dishes like rice porridge, noodles, or fried meats, alongside sweeter options. The common thread is its role in breaking the overnight fast and fueling the body for the day's activities. The timing of zajtrést generally falls in the early morning hours, usually between waking up and the mid-morning.
