This one would have been easy if you spoke French because "Le Petit Dejeuner" is the little dinner, a rather odd way of saying breakfast. At which point you may be thinking that there is no "Le Petit" on this card, so it could be lunch, and I thought that too, but the first card in the series, "J`ai bein dormi, fait ma toilette / Dejeunons maintenant minette" - translates to "I have been asleep, washed and dressed, and now I must feed Minette. So it must be breakfast.
This is a very attractive set, showing a young girl and her cat called Minette, and that remains one of the most popular names for female cats in France, much as we use Kitty or Puss. Oddly, though, Kitty also comes from French, where a "Kiton" is a young cat - whereas Puss comes from German, reputedly from the sound a cat makes when it is angry or disturbed, and we can thank Sweden for the words "Katte", though, as it is often said in its longer form, of "Katte-pus", perhaps it is the case that we ought to be thanking them for "Puss" as well.
There are several cards showing the stages of the meal, and if you look at the piece of the tablecloth which hangs down, the top white section says "Cacao Van Houten" and then below the pattern in brown it says "Le Dejeuner de Minette", the number of the card, and then a little two line non rhyming verse. These are :
- I - J`ai bein dormi, fait ma toilette / Dejeunons maintenant minette
- II - Nous sommes, des amies nous deux / Je vais t`en faire gouter un peu
- III - Ton nex dans moi bol a present ! Tu ne te genes plus vraiment
- IV - Plus rien ! fini le dejeuner ,/ On creira que j`ai tout mange.
I presume there must be six, but the last card does say that there is no more food and that Minetter has eaten it all, so I am not sure what could be on those other two cards.
