Breakfast at Blues

When breakfasts are included as part of your hotel stay, you’d usually marvel and get very impressed with the range of items. There’s also the convenience of having long breakfast periods; so if you decide to sleep later on the morning, there’s no issue. However, the range – from my experience anyway, and certainly so in my most recent experience from Kumamoto – of breakfast cuisine gets boring real quick if you’re staying for a period longer than a few days, and you can never quite shake the experience that you’re partaking in mass-production buffets, unless you’re staying in a swanky hotel providing more personalized meals.

There are pros and cons to having breakfasts at B&Bs in this part of the world in comparison. I’ve remarked in my earlier post that guests need to be respectful of breakfast timings. And while what you might get on a daily basis might not be as wide-ranging as the continental breakfasts served in hotels, I actually really enjoy the experience of eating breakfast as a typical American family would each day. Some of the fare might seem simple, but nothing beats the feeling that the breakfast you’re having was made and customized just for you.

So, here’s a sample of what I’ve been having at Blue’s: they were all on different days – each day is different!

Below – a really marvelous quiche with mushrooms and spinach:

Updated, 1 Jul: Blue helped me out here – it’s Anadama bread, a New England recipe using white flour, cornmeal, molasses  and sometimes rye  flour.:)

Below – Poached eggs:

There’re three regular staples each morning too: my pot of Earl Grey (though I’ve also started trying American coffee), a glass of juice, and a bowl of fruit.:)
