I enjoyed the breakfast buffet at the Crowne Plaza hotel on the outskirts of Bucharest in Romania. Tomatoes were part of that buffet.
The only way tomatoes can taste any better than the ones in Romania is if you grew them yourself and ate it just after it was freshly picked right off of the vine, in my opinion.

Another vote for a German breakfast. The little hard rolls with fresh butter and jam are wonderful. The Muesli is wonderful as well and although I'm not normally a coffee drinker, the strong German brews are a favorite of mine.

I like those rolls in the evening, but in the morning I think my jaw is just too asleep to manage them! I recall getting them on a lot of Lufthansa flights and just getting defested after a mouthful! I do the RitterSport chocolates from LH tho - haven't flown with them in ages!

German breakfast?? Nah...
Dutch breakfast far surpasses it with their take on scrambled eggs and much better cheeses and ham....then there is the garlic butter and excellent coffee.
What are those chocolate sprinkles called?

Chocolate vermicelli? The things they seem from the pictures to scatter on bread? We had them at home as a child but we put them on ice cream!

Thanks (to an extent) to immigrants from Maluku. Also known as the Moluccas or Spice Islands. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moluccas

The wonderful thing about herring is that when pickled it really lasts well provided it can be stored cool. And the taste is, especially to someone who has eaten it from early childhood, a great blend of sour and sweet notes.
Herring with boiled egg, dill and salty butter on black bread. Now that is a breakfast of (Viking) champions.
