A variety of continental breakfasts

| Our Continental breakfast | Regular Continental | Short Continental | And I have had |
|---|---|---|---|
| Porridge Yogurt Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice Choice of cereals Choice of meats - local and continental Choice of cheeses Variety of fresh fruit / fruit Salad Bread and toast, white and brown Freshly baked Croissant Freshly baked bread rolls Freshly baked pastries Butter or Flora Choice of marmalade's Choice of jams Honey Marmite Black and herbal tea choice Bean to cup coffee Hot Chocolate | Yogurt Orange Juice Choice of cereals Cheese Apples and Bananas Bread and toast, white and brown Croissant Butter or Flora Choice of marmalade's Choice of jams Tea or Coffee | Boxed orange juice Cornflakes and milk Toast, margarine, marmalade Tea or instant Coffee | Doughnuts Instant coffee |
Question - how should we describe our "continental" breakfast. Extended? Extensive? Superior? simply "Continental"? I really don't know - I want to make it known that it's the full works ("full works continental"?) ... please let me know what you think; we could do with a rename!
Update - 19th Jan 2013 - the following suggestion have been made:
• Full Continental Breakfast
• Continental Plus Breakfast
• Extended Continental Breakfast
• Continental Breakfast
• Bonus Continental
All have merit, but none so far shouts "Yes, OF COURSE" at me ...
I also added "Hot Chocolate" to our drinks - it's always been available but, prompted by a reply, I was reminded that it's quite popular at breakfast. And we have had guests who like a can of Coca Cola with their breakfast ... yes, that's available too but I won't list it as it's very much an occasional request.
