    In Germany they also have breakfast for dinner (Abendbrot, literally evening bread).

      Breakfast for dinner is also super common in the USA, sometimes called Brinner.

      Ironically Breakfast for dinner is the kind of breakfast that most people don’t have for breakfast most of the time (pancakes, french toast, fried or scrambled eggs, assorted meats, etc) so having it as dinner occasionally is actually more fitting in some ways.

      Most Americans eat the equivalent of cereal and coffee or no breakfast and just coffee most days. I myself almost never have breakfast. It’s sort of like a full English in the UK, most people aren’t eating that everyday.

      It sounds more fun translated. Like the German breakfast, “das Frühstück” would be “early piece”.

      I think it’s more accurate to say that German eats dinner for lunch and lunch for dinner.

      Yes, both breakfast and dinner involve bread, but breakfast is usually sweet (honey, jam, maybe some cheese) while dinner is savory (meat, cheese, and veggies).
