Jause

Jause is a term used mainly in Austria and parts of Germany to describe a light snack or little meal enjoyed between main meals, such as breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It typically consists of small portions like bread, cheese, cold cuts, fruit, or pastries, often accompanied by coffee or tea. Jause provides a moment of refreshment and energy during the day, and can be enjoyed at home, in cafes, or workplaces. It’s a culturally ingrained tradition that emphasizes taking a pause to appreciate a simple, satisfying bite.
