British Airways just sent an email proclaiming June 1 as World Breakfast Day. The message highlights hotels around the world that have especially noteworthy breakfasts.
With your trip to the UK approaching, UK Man , I read this and imagined a side trip to London for you.
Rosewood London, UK
Best for… a full English with a twist
For the most satisfying of breakfasts, check in to Rosewood London, a marble-lined Edwardian pile where nothing’s done by halves (one of the suites is so enormous, it even has its own postcode). Resisting the temptation of eggs Benedict in bed, head to its grand brasserie, Holborn Dining Room, and order a Breakfast Pie (opening image): a full English breakfast – sausage, bacon, black pudding, beans and all – audaciously encased in pastry, topped with a fried egg and served with a tomato fondue. Balance out the indulgence with a beauty-boosting Golden Glow smoothie made with orange, lemon, ginger, turmeric, cayenne, banana and avocado.
What to order: A pie to share, plus some lighter dishes – the cloud-like buttermilk pancakes with tangy raspberry compote and creamy mascarpone, say, or a fruit salad of pineapple, melon and berries.
