New Year Eve's Breakfast Briefing

By Derek Davis 31st Dec 2020

Did you know?

New Year's Eve is celebrated in a wide variety of ways across the world. For example, doughnuts are eaten in Germany. They 'Pfannkuchens' are filled with jam or liquor. As a practical joke, some may contain mustard or other unsavoury fillings - if you are unfortunate enough to choose one of these, this is seen as bad luck.
