My first time with the new breakfast menu. I think a few people have posted the odd photo, but here is the full menu. Am about to try the Concorde Eggs Benedict, and maybe the California one next.

Eggs Bene go very well with the scrambled eggs and smoked salmon.
KARFA is still young. He'll get there one day.

A tale of two breakfasts
On the left we have a lovely full English which seems to have been cooked to order and includes a rich slab of black pudding.
On the right, we have a plate of breakfast items that seem to have been cooked hours ago and left under a heat lamp before being put on a plate. The bacon tastes like it is of lower quality than on the right. The rosti has no crunch. The sausage was okay.
Left - The Concorde Room
Right - The Concorde Breakfast Room in the Arrivals lounge
It's always been this way. I don't know why I torture myself but when I step off a long haul flight I want a full English and then it turns out to be horrid.

If I need arrivals again after an F flight, I'll just use the buffet.

Yes, given a choice, always go CCR rather than CCBR. The CCR staff are dedicated to that lounge, it's the top of the tree in terms of BS's career progression (apart from the Windsor Suite, but that's a curved ball). So the CCR staff can and do send things back to the kitchen before you see it, if it's not up to scratch, which absolutely is their job to do. The catering facilities in Arrivals are also weaker. But still the CCBR isn't that bad, the breakfasts I've had there have been reasonable.
