and breakfast buffets with an eggman. I fucking love an eggman.

and just end up having one of every possible breakfast and eight coffees...

More than one night and I get more strategic.

Weirdest item in the breakfast buffet sub-thread? Selection of meatballs on offer in Berlin. Still partook.

and hash browns

the Hilton near Coatbridge did the best hotel brekkie I've ever had. couldn't bend down to tie my shoes when I'd finished.

often try and have a bit o' everything.

all you can eat for breakfast? yeah why not

prefer it when the waiters do it and then bring it to the table.

Went to one place that had some kind of pancake machine thing. Interesting.

but pace myself with a bowl of cereal or a croissant and a cup of tea. Then go back and look at the buffet and realise how rank it looks to someone who isn't that hungry anymore.

:/

the trays whilst you're just approaching them.

sorry

Pollock Halls (university)(Edinburgh, during festival season)
Brilliant value and the breakfast will not be bettered by any other hotel

Buffet, so you can essentially have as much as you like.
Tea Coffee Juices (ethically sourced) eggs (fried/scrambled) vegetarian sausages, delicious vegetarian haggis, mushrooms, beans, hash bowns.

and for meat eaters there is good choice too.....I seem to remember seeing that the sausages/meaty stuff was source named....plus you could have kippers (?) and loads of other stuff.

the accomodation rates are very reasonable and although it is not the closest to the centre, you are really close to arthurs seat (great for early morning runs/walks) lovely backdrop.....and the walk into centre is along route with interesting shops (2 great vegetarian restaurants) and several indie record shops.

Big up pollock halls! (and thanks for all the haggis)

Got lunches out of the bastards every day we were there. Superb.

- glass of OJ, scope the joint out
- grab a bowl of cereal, order/make a coffee leave bowls on table to show it's my table. probably leave room key out too.
- make two slices of toast and gather loads of butter and jam. strawberry. if no strawberry, sack it. back to table with toast.
- go up and grab 3 x sausages, 3 x rashers of bacon, eggs (2 if fried, scoop if scrambled), some mushrooms. head back to table.
- eat cooked portion.
- go up to grab a few more sausages and a crossiant or two. get more juice. get a second coffee.
- finish toast.

Just load up on everything that I want without mercy. Last time I had one was the morning after my mate's wedding. Astonishingly hungover. Must've eaten about 2 whole pigs in the process.

My problem is eating too much fried bread. Not sure why I keep on making this mistake.

Worst thing about breakfast buffets - having to drink apple/orange juice out of a glass that's about the size of a thimble. Make them bigger lads FFS!!

Round 1: fruit juice. First glass to be drunk at the juice dispenser, second glass to be deposited on the table.

Round 2: fresh fruit and yoghurt. Fruit must be peeled and sliced for my comfort. Prefer plain Greek yoghurt, but if not available go for any berry-based fruity one.

Round 3: hot items. Ideally the buffet has a chef who prepares your eggs to order. Place order first, then put bread slices in toaster. Inspect the various trays and potential choices. Load up on tomatoes, beans, mushrooms and hash browns. Check on toast. Collect eggs. Collect toast.

Round 4: sweet items. Big fan of miniature pain au chocolat. And blueberry muffins. And almond croissants.

Round 5: coffee.

Shitload of pastries afterwards

One tea on the go and a new OJ every visit

Get to fuck with your fresh fruit/yoghurt etc

Die of embarrassment each time the waiter (fancy hotel) fetches your full English order when you have a small mountain comprised of everything else on offer.

and let me tell you, the breakfast buffets there were slightly different and no mistake.

fruit, eggs, bread, pastries, vegetarian stuff if there is any

go back for more of the same

fruit juice and tea

never been more disappointed with my kids than when they were faced with their first breakfast buffet and would only have coco pops :(

at your buffet management, until you get to the end of the week and you see these young kids come in as green and wet as a tree frog, and you shake your head sadly when you see them go in too hard too early at the section with the fry-up items under the sliding metal lids, and you remember the first time you walked in here and were also enchanted by that section and its fried tomatoes with cheese on top, and how much things have changed since Tuesday

Always wake up far too late to do it proper justice. :(

wonder how many offer walk-in breakfast buffets, i want one now.

then hit the gym

When the breakfast buffet has a waffle maker.

Open it, pour in the batter, close it, flip it over, load up on everything else and then come back to a brilliant fluffy waffle.

which had a huge buffet. loads of families would fill up plates with lots of stuff and put on their own table, so they could have their own buffet about 5 metres away from just wandering up for a refill. would then throw loads away at the end. was fucking outrageous!

their breakfast buffet was fucking outstanding

Bed of scrambled eggs. Beans, Sausages and bacon on top. Pile of toast. Coffee

Repeat until physically impossible.

used to go all out on the buffet - after an early morning hour in the gym/swimming pool obvs. but now I can't really be bothered with all that (mostly becasue the food is never that nice to make it worth it)

NOwadays I just bill the company £12 for a buffet breakfast consisting of muesli and yoghurt.. that gives me its own kind of kick.

Obviously unless you're staying in a decent five star hotel they're terrible and I would rather make my own.

What about breakfast buffets at cafes? The ones you pay £20 for and stay all Sunday and have unlimited cheese and coffee and cake? Those are the absolute best.

you can get food and also a TERRIFYING amount of booze.

I'm saying they count.

The starter is toast and if I'm in Europe (proper) some cold meats and cheese, one of each kind. If not, a boiled egg which must be dippy and toast cut into soldiers. I once got scolded by a colleague for eating cheese and a runny egg together, get out. Washed down with apple juice preferably or orange and the first cup of tea.

The main will be all of the hot items, 2 of each, with both scrambled and fried eggs. Served with a refill of tea.

Desert will be something sweet like fruit, ideally a fruit salad, or a yoghurt.
Finish with a cup of coffee, a pain au chocolat and gut rot.

This thread has been like tortue, you cunts

but never had i encountered an eggman

the two most amazing i've seen were both in Barcelona. SO MUCH CHORIZO AND SPANISH TORTILLA

one of the hotels had probably the best breakfast buffet I've ever encountered. they served western food and Thai food. pancakes, bacon, rice, curry, everything.

All the usuals plus smoked salmon, cheese, fresh honeycomb, good fruit selection, sausage variety, eggwoman and a glass of champers on Sunday. Result.

Big up to the Belfast buffet boys too for introducing me to a black and white pudding combo

think it was a chain like a hilton or something.
For $15 a head there was literaly every type of breakfast food you could ever dream of - cereal, fruit, bagels, muffins, sausage, bacon, an egg guy , a pancake/ waffle guy. Endless choice of pastries.

Then on like the third day we wnet down - and it was easter sunday. So they had easter brunch. Which means all of the above plus all kinds of fancy cakles and desserts. It almost made me sad that I couldn't ssomehow find a way to stuff more in

forgot to write about the one in Cancun

all the American good stuff
and a shitload of mexican good stuff
and an open bloody mary bar
and just five tequillas for doing shots

basically valhalla
