Other than that, on the more 'unusual' side I've had dim sum in Hong Kong and fish curry with milk rice in the Maldives. It depends on what country I'm in, but I do like to try whatever is the local breakfast. When in Rome and all that... I love a good English breakfast!

You are right to highlight the problem anyone on a gluten free 'diet' faces on their travels and you inevitably have to place a lot of trust in that kitchen to get it right for you. One of the biggest problems I think is that caterers view gluten free food as boring and therefore don't bother trying. It's the last thing you need. Welcome back! Miles Melissa,

Not to draw attention to my rather high maintenance diet, but since I can't eat gluten because of that annoying celiac disease thing, I like having some options other than breads, pancakes, rolls, and such.If there are gluten-free pancakes or something similar on the menu, I excuse myself from the table, ask to see the chef and then kiss him/her and bow down in great gratitude as if I've just run across Mother Teresa or the Pope. :-) Otherwise, I like a nice fruit plate. I love hot cereal, but most of it is laced with that poison stuff called wheat (even oatmeal is often contaminated). When I'm at home, I make teff porridge, which is absolutely divine. I like big breakfasts and love egg scrambles with veggies. There's a place in Denver that makes the best breakfasts. Rather than ramble on about the choices, here's the link to their breakfast menu if you want some ideas from good old Colorado. I have nothing to do with the restaurant, this isn't some sort of marketing ploy, they just have good breakfasts that are often gluten-free. Plus, they have an "international theme" of which you might like. Sorry, I'm rambling. But when a chef asks what someone wants in a meal -- I get carried away. http://www.watercoursefoods.com/menu.php Take care, Melissa Sniff, sniff.

They sound great (especially the Bloody Mary!) Hash is something I would like to see come back again and you can put chorizo on nearly anything for me. Thanks Dave, great ideas. Miles Dave,

My traveling breakfast is always something bready and a Bloody Mary, followed by lots of juice (local peferable). I have never been a big breakfast person, but I enjoy mornings in the kitchen -they seem a little saner. Juevos Rancheros, scrambled with chorizo, smoked salmon on toast points with a horseradish cream sauce, corned beef hash with a fried egg on top, or a "twisted omelet" (my favorite one is sauteed leek, bacon, and jalapeno) - these are the menu favorites.

I am into porridge-I stick a banana and dried fruits in mine plus the odd scoop of protein powder! Which reminds me, I'm off to the gym to try and injure myself again :) Miles Cid,

The whole thing was a sight to behold with a substantial price tag. My business head says the look was spectacular and quite easy for the staff to put together while the chef concentrated on the hot stuff like eggy things. Profits must have been good. Personally I also like kidneys (love free range chicken livers but probably not for breakfast, too rich). My current favourite is porridge with a swirl of my elderberry syrup. Hate those hotels where hot food has been sitting around for ages and even the cereals don't look fresh. Small slice of bread brushed with olive oil and baked until golden and crisp, served with a perfectly poached egg is always appreciated. In season, ripe figs. I'm going through a phase of baked tomatoes with olive oil and herbs which seem to go with everything. Don't envy you the task of trying to please everyone.... speaking of which I have friends coming for coffee in a few minutes and I'm not dressed yet (a very unpleasant thought :) ) ... if I think of anything else worthwhile I shall return ......

You're right about the mushrooms, I hate those black, overcooked watery things which seep liquid all over the bacon-uurrgghhh!!! Miles Rod,

It has a bad health reputation now but it's easy enough (easier actually) to do a healthy one ! This morning I will have: 2 rounds of wholemeal toast 2 large scrambled free range eggs A courgette sliced and fried in a smear of olive oil until brown Personally I also like fish a breakfast <i>If you like a hot breakfast what needs to be featured?</i> A must for me are mushrooms ! But not watery ! Add to that all the traditional favourites. When I'm fat stripping it's bran flakes and fat free milk :( So for me: it's hot hot hot all the way ! Rod Miles
