I'd have the cooked breakfast in the UK.

But I try everything when abroad. It was laksa every morning in Malaysia, which was wonderful as I had a cold & it was the only thing I could taste.

Duke, did you have Dal Bhat in Nepal?

We stayed with a family for a week in Kathmandu and ate with them every evening.

Every meal was Dal Bhat with a subtle variation each meal. On our final night we were promised meat as part of the Dal Bhat. It was, as usual, a wonderfully tasty meal. When I asked what the meat was, I was told it was Tofu.:)

This thread is a wind-up surely ?

No it's not because if I feel very adventurous I'll eat the baked beans first. Then again if I feel frivolous the mushrooms are the first to go.

You should never eat a cooked breakfast in a foreign country. The correct thing to do is to eat as many miniature pastries as possible because holidays are the only time it's acceptable to eat cake for breakfast. Don't waste the opportunity by eating run of the mill breakfast foods like eggs or cereal or you won't get a decent sugar rush.

I have to disagree as an almond croissant and a cup of tea is a staple breakfast in the phatbear household

If it was in a foreign country, it's likely to bear no resemblance to a full English ( having had cold baked beans in Spain. Sausages with red oil seeping out of them in Barcelona )

I eat Dal Bhat all the time in Nepal, rice and lentils with a veg curry and pickles, delicious and nutritious. But a bit heavy for breakfast, I prefer the fresh cooked roti with curried chickpea or aloo-channa curry in the morning.

Last year we stopped at a favorite place for this and fresh local coffee, early morning on the main road going east to a remote village. The breakfast was so delicious that my Venezuelan companion wanted a second helping, which held us up for ten minutes or so. This turned out to be fortunate because later we encountered a fresh avalanche completely blocking the precarious mountain road to the village area. It had just happened, so if we had not dallied over her second helping of roti aloo-channa we would have passed through before it happened and been trapped maybe for days in the area - not such a problem normally, but the currently widespread earthquake damage would have made hospitality difficult.

I normally have cooked, toast/bread/cakes, fruit n yoghurt.

Don't eat cereals in hotels as I eat them at home.

Only foreign toast though?
