Not for me at all. At B & B's I try to avoid it because I never feel that hungry in the morning and if your not hungry there doesnt seem much point in eating anything but a few slices of toast. One B & B had smoked haddock on the menu so every day for a week I asked for that and every day they didn't have any  Nah too greasy..I suppose if you're driving a lorry or working shifts its different but a slice of toast is enough. Continental breakfasts on the other hand are hard to resist but you have to live on the continent to get the real tbing rather than a 2nd rate copy. |

... Continental breakfasts on the other hand are hard to resist but you have to live on the continent to get the real tbing rather than a 2nd rate copy. Lucky me. When I'm in London I have a proper breakfast so I won't want a proper lunch and can rush round crossing things off my list. Unless, of course, I'm having a serious lunch with friends, and then I have a British sub- breakfast. When I'm staying at my posh hotel in Venice I have a big breakfast because it is included in the price and is a splendid buffet including smoked salmon. I have it on the balcony and fight the sparrows for the contents of the sugar bowl. But this is not a "proper British breakfast" I suppose. Alas, they keep putting up their prices and even though they give me a discount as an old and valued it has gone through the roof and beyond my touch. |

I hardly think that is true today there are a large amount of continental stores selling all kinds of goodies. But having said that it is the devils own game to find Quark, and Bayrische Weisswurst to go with the 6 jars of sweet mustard that I brought back on my last trip to Muenchen. gus |

I usually have bacon and eggs (and tomato and sausage if they're available) when I'm on holidays, staying at a hotel or something. And big fat greasy bacon butties with champers and OJ is the traditional birthday fare in my family.  |

I'm not sure exactly what a Full British Breakfast consists of, but over her in middle America, I can't start my day with out Eggs (Over easy or scrambled with cheese), Pork Sausage patties, biscuits (with fruit jelly), washed down with loads of Ice tea (without ice, please) and Orange juice. That can usually hold me for a couple of hours until Lunch  |
