Hagelslag
{
Hagelslag (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈɦaːɣəlˌslɑx], lit. 'hailstorm'; Indonesian: meses) are small, oblong, sweet-tasting chocolate granules, a few millimetres long, which are sprinkled on slices of buttered bread or rusks.
Hagelslag is traditionally eaten by the Dutch for breakfast or lunch. Hagelslag can be difficult to find in other countries, with the exception of Suriname, Belgium, the former Netherlands Antilles and Indonesia (all of which, except for Belgium, were former Dutch colonies), where one can buy Hagelslag in stores. In those regions, customers generally use Hagelslag to decorate desserts and cakes. Hagelslag is also available in the ethnically Dutch communities of New Zealand, such as Foxton in the Manawatū, where it is widely available.
In Belgium they are commonly called muizenstrontjes (mouse droppings).
Another variant is vlokken ("flakes"), chocolate flakes to sprinkle on buttered bread. There is a variety of flavors of Hagelslag, such as puur hagelslag (dark chocolate), witte hagelslag (white chocolate) and melkchocolade hagelslag (milk chocolate), and even vruchtenhagel (fruit flavoured).
An estimated 750,000 hagelslag sandwiches are eaten each day in the Netherlands for breakfast, a snack or lunch. A hagelslag sandwich (broodje hagelslag) is hagelslag liberally sprinkled onto buttered bread. More than 14 million kilograms of hagelslag are consumed each year in the Netherlands.
