A lot of those chain hotels just do the job and that’s it.

Like a great Dane woofing down a can of Pal

Never had a Great Dane, Collie, Border Collie, cross breed mutt, more Dalmatians than I can count, Doberman, Chinese Crested and now I’ve sold my soul to a miniature schnauzer. But never had a Great Dane, always wanted a Irish Wolfhound and are currently considering an Irish Back Terrier

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.

Which s why I apologised to you in my post above. I misread your post and thought you said that a continental breakfast had hot dishes.

Not to worry Leigh, it's all good.  So easy to misread posts, especially when you're in a hurry or doing two things at once.  Have a nice evening, Dee.

Have never had that at a hotel breakfast but then we use balls here when we play hockey.

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.

Watch out for the Italiano eggs, probably full of garlic, yuk.

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.
