"But What do you Usually Eat for Breakfast?"
It was a question asked often, and the most common response was granola. That was indeed available, but the array on the breakfast buffets at our hotels was mind-boggling. Think Eastern, Western, and just plain quirky (IMHO). Any morning we could choose from dozens and dozens of items including, for example, miso soup, sushi, sweet potato porridge, fruit, scrambled eggs, hot dogs, french fries, and eclairs. My breakfast preferences and food rules rapidly went out the window, and I frequently found myself staring at my plate in wonder or dismay. Then came the question again.

I find your question very interesting. In fact, I've noticed that whenever I'm not at home the question instead becomes: "What are you going to have for breakfast?" and the end results are surprising since they are usually very different from what I would usually eat, even if it's available. I guess this is all influenced by the fact that I'm in a different context :)
ReplyDeleteGood point. Seeing as my choice of breakfast--toast with peanut butter and fresh blueberries--is never available on the road, I'll start asking the question your way.
