Lunch.

I believe in waking when 10:30 rears it's ugly head over the horizon...

:cool:

Mine was at of all places, in Wells, NV at the Peppermill Casino breakfast buffet. Happened to be there right when they brought a fresh batch from the kitchen. I think I ate 4 of them and some potatoes and skipped the rest. They were perfect. Second place goes to the Le Peep chain, but it's been several years now. Other than those it is extremely hit and miss, even at the same place, and the price point doesn't seem to matter at all. We make an excellent version at home about once a year, and it requires two of us and full attention for a good 15-20 minutes just for 2-4 people.

Best eggs benedict for me was at The Benson hotel in downtown Portland, OR.

Second best (or perhaps even THE best) are when I make them myself from scratch. Used to make them about twice/month when I was with my ex gf. However, we usually had them for a late night ‘snack’. And yes, making the hollandaise does require undivided attention. Probably took a good 30-40 mins each time to make them.

I love cereals with fresh fruit. Or something sweet from the bakery. But eggs, sausages etc... only if I had enough sleep and after 10am :-)

Mrs Showbizguru always enjoys what she calls her " whore's breakfast " - a cup of coffee and a cigarette.

Me too. :D

Except that I assumed that they were the intellectual's breakfast, or the graduate student's breakfast.

Still the best breakfast, if only I could have cigarettes again. :D

I rarely eat breakfast unless i'm on holiday, my favourite is eggs sunnyside up, bacon and pancakes, i rarely get it unless i'm in the US :( but only 68 days to go :D

At home, I eat one of four breakfasts (which is diversity for me...a year ago, I only rotated between two), but on the road, I'm a big believer in "When in Rome..." I'm happy to eat salad, seafood & rice for breakfast in Japan, dim sum in Hong Kong, broiled tomatoes, beans, limp bacon and toast in England, etc.

I completely spaced out when one of my Dutch friends came to visit recently...I stocked the kitchen with oatmeal, eggs, fruit, etc., and the first morning she asked if I had any whole-grain bread and cheese. Oops!

Having spent several months total in Japan, I still can't do it. Breakfast in Japan is miso soup, toast, and scrambled eggs when they have them. It gets old quick. On the other hand, in Thailand I don't mind the stir-fried veggie/meat dishes along with eggs in the morning. Even a tiny bit of jasmine rice is OK to soak up the juices.

I love the Dutch breakfasts.In fact, until this post, I had forgotten how much I loved that Beemster Vlaskaas and simple Goudas. The dark bread with that cheese is divine.

London for me - Novotel
 
I don't know why, probably because I love London, and probably because I like Novotel Hotels when traveling in Europe. I enjoy the breakfast buffet at Novotel. So:

#1) I enjoy the breakfast buffet at Novotel. It's just perfect.

#2) Fairmont Hotels breakfast buffet.

I think both are listed as "Continental" but they are a FAR cry from, say, the continental buffet at Comfort or similar hotels in the U.S.

fredandgingermad Apr 20, 2011 11:54 am

'Continental Breakfasts' seem to vary from place to place, in France that'd be crossiant and baguette with jam and butter, in Germany you could hope to add eggs, ham, salami sausages, fruit and yoghurt and in Poland you could find several varieties of cake :-) 'Continental Breakfast' seems to have an entirely different meaning in the US..

I'd add: Gotta love countries where adults eat chocolate for breakfast! The first time I sat down to breakfast at my ex's house in France: Cereal with shavings of dark-chocolate. On a recent trip to Holland, the hotel's breakfast buffet included chocolate sprinkles and dark-chocolate curls to put on your toast. (Though I'd take a savory Dutch pancake over chocolate for breakfast any day!)

Luna Park in West Seattle, WA...BEST BREAKFAST!! The place is super funky inside and the waitstaff is covered in tattoos but the food is excellent and very generous portions. The giant mimosas were delicious as well!

i thought the whores breakfast included a centrum as well, for all your daily needs...
