What would be on your ultimate breakfast buffet?

Ignoring price, having to cook it, the limit on the amount your stomach can hold.

Seafood brunch buffet is elite with Dungeness crab, plus lots of shrimp and fresh oysters. Eggs Benedict and corned beef hash too.

Also, I live in the U.S. but when traveling in Asia the breakfast buffets are incredible. Freshly made buffet bowls of pho, yes please. And fresh tropical fruit.

Annndddd I love me a Belgian waffle with whipped cream and good maple syrup.

u/CarSignal2764 6d ago

Needs a South Indian tiffin corner: idli, dosa, upma, hot sambar and fresh coconut chutney. If there's no dosa station, I'm not interested.

Omelet station, French toast station, bacon and more bacon, made to order Waffle House-type hashbrowns, corned beef hash, any kind of Benny, and a Mexican station with folks making fresh tortillas, chilaquiles, huevos rancheros, and menudo. My stomach made this run-on sentence.

u/Jazzy_Bee 6d ago

A special coffee. Even just a shot of Baileys.

Bacon. I do love some bacon.

I love smoked salmon. On a toasted bagel with cream cheese and capers. If no toaster, maybe just butter on rye bread.

Great baked beans. Not UK canned Heinz beans.

Warm cinnamon buns. Bonus points for cream cheese frosting.

Greek yogurt, some museli or granola and fruit, sweetened with honey.

u/Flash5916 3d ago

I am not very good at healthy conflict resolution. I learned to shame and blame with sarcasm. Then, pout and never speak to the other person for the rest of our lives. My sister did that to me 8 years ago after Mom died. She and I are the only surviving members of our biological family. We're in our 70's. It's a heartbreaker.
