Katerfrühstück

== German == === Etymology === From Kater (“hangover”) +‎ Frühstück (“breakfast”). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈkaːtərˌfryːʃtʏk/, [ˈkaː.tɐˌfʁyː.ʃtʏk] === Noun === Katerfrühstück n (strong, genitive Katerfrühstücks, plural Katerfrühstücke) (colloquial) first meal of the day after a night of heavy drinking, intended to alleviate the hangover ==== Usage notes ==== The meal can of course consist of any food the drinker craves. However, foodstuffs that are sour and/or high in fat/protein are widely believed to be particularly effective. Therefore, pickled herring (rollmops), which combines both of these features, is the prototypical Katerfrühstück food. ==== Declension ==== === See also === Frühstück === Further reading === “Katerfrühstück” in Duden online
