This was just the quotidian breakfast at Hossenfeffer Court. I suppose they might serve much the same at whatever counts as a 'middle class hotel', surely anything less would be grounds for complaint?

I've just taken a peek at the Savoy's breakfast menu and it seems a bit spartan to me. No kidneys, no fried bread, no mushrooms, I'm troubled by their description of a 'choice of egg', and those modern, American, baked beans instead of traditional buttered beans. Is that the sort of thing you were thinking about?

Edit to add: crikey, just looked at the Ritz breakfast. Eggs, bacon, sausage, mushroom and tomato. And that's it! The middle class do appear to have it somewhat rough. I blame the governement.
