In Pjong Yang you only get to smell the aroma of breakfast cooking.

Monday to Thursday: Kellogg’s Fruit ‘n Fibre (I can’t stand supermarket own brands).
Friday to Sunday: Freshly baked (home) bread with honey and a pot of filter coffee.

Hotels I try to steer clear of the Full English. If it's buffet style the bacon will be made of bacon-shaped pieces of carpet, the eggs will be rubber and the sausages full of sawdust. So for those places it's coffee and toast (or "broast" because what comes out of those conveyer belt toasters isn't toast and isn't bread, it's broast).

If it's a hotel with breakfast made to order I'll go for the Russian roulette of poached eggs on toast. 60% of the time the eggs are pretty much raw, 20% of the time they're rubber but the other 20% they're lovely.

Never, ever have the black pudding or haggis at a hotel breakfast. Sometimes they can be so pungently strong the taste will be with you the rest of the day. I had black pudding in Penrith that had me retching 6 hours later.

Nicest breakfast I had last year was in Zaragoza - fresh thin folded omelette with slices of ham. Lovely.


ETA - oh, and never accept the offer of extra soda bread with an Ulster Fry. It's like the cream cracker challenge.

I have never had a problem with breakfast when I stay in London.
The Hilton is quite good.
The Dorchester is excellent
The Savoy was so so but the caviar was good.

Bat porridge if I'm in Wuhan.

I usually go to my local cafe and have toast, marmalade, cup of tea and read the “i” newspaper. Nice relaxing half hour start to the day.

I can’t believe that the majority skip breakfast.

Do you sprinkle yours with salt, sugar, or antibiotics?

speaking as a butcher who has made countless black pudding, I like it hot and cold and have been known to eat it while making it

The only decent B&B/Hotel breakfast I've ever had was in Wells-Next-The-Sea, it was honestly as good as one I'd have cooked myself, I've had the misfortune to stay in some right dives whilst working as an Exhibition/Shopfitting Contractor (London being by far the worst) but I wasn't paying for them.

There has only been one place I'd consider returning to and that's Machrimore in Wells (in fact we've been 3 times.)

I think you have spelled it incorrectly.

I would spell it as d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s.

Not D-e-n-n-y?

Of course, in some areas or the UK a can of Fosters is considered the cornerstone of a nutritious breakfast.

I've met one or two like that, a can and a spliff and they're set up for the day.

In the summer we meet up on our motorbikes at 8.00am Sunday morning at Weatherspoons in Stratford upon Avon plenty of punters on the pints that time of the morning.
