Bubbeh Posted October 14, 2019 #34 Share Posted October 14, 2019 4 hours ago, possum52 said: Sorry to disagree with you Bubbeh, a continental breakfast is a light meal and doesn't usually include hot dishes other than perhaps porridge. It will be cereals, toast and pastries. A full buffet breakfast will have all the continental breakfast items plus hot dishes. Actually, that's my point. Unless it specifically says that it is a continental brekkie, it will be a full buffet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSWP Posted October 14, 2019 #41 Share Posted October 14, 2019 (edited) Continental breakfast? How ghastly...give me the full English every time....bigger the better... But at hotels like Holiday Inn, you can load your plate up with the good stuff, but no black pudding in Sydney.

On last years' tour of Qatar, Israel, Jordan and Turkey I had no problem getting fried eggs any way I wanted them. But bacon???? Not a scrap. I'll be in Italy in a few weeks so I'll check out the eggs, carefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of the ships and hotels use the liquid egg in a carton for their scrambled eggs and omelettes, Brian. Probably safer than the real thing.
