It's sushi night at our house (the overwhelmed feeling from the last post is still there and between getting work done and a post-vaccinations fussy baby, we're having sushi...). Anyways, sushi means we pull out our most German of all our kitchenware: the Fruehstuecksbrettchen! I tried to find something like a cultural history of the Fruehstuecksbrettchen, but nothing to be found, not even a wikipedia entry...
What I was able to find are numerous websites selling Fruehstuecksbrettchen, in both traditional and funky designs. For those of you who are still unsure what exactly a Fruehstuecksbrettchen is, well, it's usually made out of wood, it very thin and often melamine coated. There are more rustic ones that are thick wood slabs as well. Ours were a gift last Christmas and are antique ones made out of porcelain.
And they make fantastic sushi plates:
Does anyone have more information on this very German piece of kitchenware? Any stories about your favourite Fruehstuecksbrettchen? Please share them with everyone in the comments section!

Dear Claudia,
there is a website that shows the virtual "Deutsche Brettchen-Museum" (just in German, but there is a gallery):
