Hotel buffet breakfasts. Your strategy...

[KungFuPanda]

There are of course, the good, the bad and the ugly with all buffets.

I usually start with coffee, then some pastries. Croissant, danish a sweet muffin. Then maybe a yoghurt and a bit of granola.

Then onto the main event. Eye up the toasting machine to see if there's a queue. If not, get that first and then grab my plate for the fry up. It's usually THE LOT. Usually best to get fresh eggs made so it's a request for poached as the fried and scrambled eggs are usually a bit rubbery. Bacon, sausage, black pudding, beans, mushrooms, a slice of fried bread.

So what's your strategy? Also, where have you had the best and worse breakfasts?

I knew someone would pipe up with that Alan Partridge reference!

Surely cereal is just a useless filler.

My ex girlfriend had one mate who used to make ham and cheese sandwiches for the families lunch at the breakfast buffet and sneak them out.

Hmmmmm there's a lot of talk here about Coco Pops. Maybe I'll go for a bowl with ice cold full fat milk next time I'm at a hotel.

So can I start another thread for regular buffet strategies then or would that be a bit council?

Surely then you're limited to what they bring you on your tray. You can't pig out and experience the full buffet!!!!

Yep you're right. The stuff left over for breakfast that can be used for making sandwiches would probably get chucked out after service anyway so why the hell not.
