When breakfasts are included as part of your hotel stay, you\u2019d usually marvel and get very impressed with the range of items. There\u2019s also the convenience of having long breakfast periods; so if you decide to sleep later on the morning, there\u2019s no issue. However, the range \u2013 from my experience anyway, and certainly so in my most recent experience from Kumamoto \u2013 of breakfast cuisine gets boring real quick if you\u2019re staying for a period longer than a few days, and you can never quite shake the experience that you\u2019re partaking in mass-production buffets, unless you\u2019re staying in a swanky hotel providing more personalized meals.<\/p>\n

There are pros and cons to having breakfasts at B&Bs in this part of the world in comparison. I\u2019ve 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\u2019re having was made and customized just for you.<\/p>\n

So, here\u2019s a sample of what I\u2019ve been having at Blue\u2019s: they were all on different days \u2013 each day is different!<\/p>\n

Below<\/em> – I didn\u2019t get the full name of this loaf, but what I remember is that it\u2019s cornbread something. Very delicious when it comes out hot from the oven!<\/p>\n

Updated<\/em>, 1 Jul: Blue helped me out here – it’s Anadama bread, a New England recipe using white flour, cornmeal, molasses\u00a0 and sometimes rye\u00a0 flour.:)<\/p>\n

There\u2019re three regular staples each morning too: my pot of Earl Grey (though I\u2019ve also started trying American coffee), a glass of juice, and a bowl of fruit.:)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
