Look, you get born, you keep your head down, and then you die. If you’re lucky.

  • This was just the quotidian breakfast at Hossenfeffer Court. I suppose they might serve much the same at whatever counts as a ‘middle class hotel’, surely anything less would be grounds for complaint?

    I’ve just taken a peek at the Savoy’s breakfast menu and it seems a bit spartan to me. No kidneys, no fried bread, no mushrooms, I’m troubled by their description of a ‘choice of egg’, and those modern, American, baked beans instead of traditional buttered beans. Is that the sort of thing you were thinking about?

    Edit to add: crikey, just looked at the Ritz breakfast. Eggs, bacon, sausage, mushroom and tomato. And that’s it! The middle class do appear to have it somewhat rough. I blame the governement.



  • I just eat whatever cook serves. Breakfast was pretty simple this morning: a choice of cereals, pastry basket, kippers with a poached egg, full English (just the standards - eggs to order, bacon, herb sausage, black pudding, white pudding, grilled tomatoes, mushrooms, grilled lambs kidneys, fried bread, buttered beans), followed by toast and marmalade, washed down with freshly squeezed orange juice. Oh, and coffee. So important. Just a normal ‘breakfast’, you know, whatever one’s finds in the chafing dishes plus the eggs. So ‘breakfast’, does that count as one food item?
