Trivia: What would you NOT expect to find at the breakfast table?
Le lait
Les céréales
Les oeufs
Le cheval
The correct answer is Le cheval
So why is this answer correct? : If you find “le cheval” at the breakfast table, you’re likely in for a bad morning — “le cheval” means “the horse.” Items that you would expect to find at breakfast, or “le petit déjeuner,” include “le café” (“coffee”), “le lait” (“milk”), “le jus” (“juice”), and “le thé” (“tea”). Common French breakfast fare includes “le pain” (“bread”), “les oeufs” (“eggs”), “la confiture” (“jam”), and “les céréales” (“cereal’).
