Danish Breakfast
Goodmorning!
When I teach here in Naerum, Denmark (which is about 25km up the coast from downtown Copenhagen), I usually stay at the Marina Hotel in Vedbaek. This hotel used to be part of the Quality/Choice chain, but the logos and banners and such here have all been changed to "First Hotels." A lot of hotels in Europe are privately owned (not corporate locations), and they occasionally change franchise allegiance.
You're looking at my breakfast for a quiet Saturday morning--soft boild eggs (I had two, but only put one in the pic), bacon, a wedge of Havarti cheese, a mini-croissant, and a mini-pastry. Yes, the danish are tasty in Denmark. :-) They do have scrambled eggs in a bit warming tray, with boiled potatoes, and mini-frankfurters. Many European hotels think of hot dogs as a breakfast sausage. Scrambled eggs from mix or powder don't really do it for me, hence the soft-boileds.
Here's the cold breakfast buffet at the hotel. In most European cities (except for the UK), I'll make a ham-and-cheese sandwich of stuff from the cold buffet and a small kaiser roll or whatever hard rolls the hotel serves. Here, I bypass this in favor of the croissants and pastry. In the UK, of course, there's always some variant of the "full English."
The weather is cloudy and iffy, so I'll stay out here in Vedbaek rather than go into Copenhagen today, catching up on writing and stuff, while you Nortreamericanos sleep.
