Volume 78, Issue The Second “B” in B & B Your guests slept great – now it is time for breakfast.. the other half of the B& B experience. Hospitality should be served up big and guest should expect top quality - even if some of the food might be somewhat unfamiliar. Take pride in breakfasts, spoil your guests with a gourmet feast. Guests should be served a fresh, delicious and memorable morning meal and always consider presentation as part of the breakfast experience. The first course begins with frit and bread plate: fresh, seasonal fruit with homemade baked selection such as a slice of cinnamon coffee cake or double lemon pound cake or a large marmalade muffin. Some B & B's serve the fruit plate last, without a bread, and call it “breakfast dessert.” A popover with blue berries dusted with powered sugar, for example, covers both selection! The main entrée consists either of a sweet or egg dish served with a meat of some kind. Such favorite B & B fare includes French toast strata, individual puff pancakes or a cheese blintz. Cream cheese soufflés are a favorite, try the one below! An egg entrée can be a Texas breakfast tamales, eggs Benedict or Florentine. Many B & B's alternate entrees daily, serving either a sweet dish or an egg dish when guests are seated for breakfast. Some may serve both, especially when it is buffet style. Some entrees or fruit recipes may be unique to an inn and considered its “signature” dish. .Remember that some travelers have food allergies, special dietary restrictions, or preferences, such as vegetarian or vegan. Provide a space in your registration forms for the guest to denote these requirements. Many Bed and Breakfasts have strict set breakfast timings and often seat guests at one large table. It is a great way for people to share experiences in their travels. Soon, guests start comparing notes on nearby sights and previous travels. Other establishments serve guests at separate tables or provide a breakfast buffet. Timing is not as strict, and some travelers prefer this. I prefer the big table scenario so I can meet people and learn new things! PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT – Contemporary Bath Product 50% Off Sale
