Guest is asked if there are food allergies (list given of top contenders, just to show what I mean) .
"No, no allergies, but we absolutely must have eggs. No sweet dishes. We have a big day planned and we need protein."
It's been 10 years since the last visit and what's in the notes? Must have eggs. Now I have to plan the whole week around her so she gets her eggs. Unless we do hard boiled eggs. That's an idea.
Apparently yogurt doesn't count.
 
Well at least they told you and you were not greeted with a 'I would never eat that for breakfast' or 'cheese, why does every place serve cheese on everything' That was the first 2 mornings of a 5 night stay.
After she did not eat any of her breakfast the 2nd morning I handed the hubby a banana to bring to her. Told him I felt bad that she did not eat breakfast. He then informed me of a stomach condition she had doesn't do well with many foods. Well wouldn't that have been nice to have mentioned at check in when I asked?
Offered suggestions and the rest of her stay was scrambled eggs (hold the cheese

) and toast. She didn't like any other bread, had picked at my biscuits.
Some people make it hard on themselves!
 
Boil some eggs for her and do your regular breakfast. Other guests shouldn't be put out. In fact, that request would die on the table here. I'm sorry, but we alternate... and other guests expect us to have different breakfasts... in fact, up to 14 different breakfasts.
If you want to try something a little different... poach some eggs in salsa with some cumin it it.... a quickie version of shakshouka.
 
After two weeks of the buffet at a chain hotel I think I might add some buffet items to the list this summer - hard boiled eggs and yogurt. The yogurts were cleaned out everyday and the eggs went as well. (Maybe taken for lunch, not breakfast.)
Every one of the hotels we stayed at served the same thing every day - scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy, sausage. You could ask for pancakes except the last place had an automatic pancake machine that some guests were saying was pretty good.
Toast, muffins and pastries. All the baked goods came in huge boxes.

Cheese is persona non grata anymore. We're always being told no cheese. I feel sorry for people who are denying themselves cheese. I could live on cheese and bread.

Great idea. It may work out that it's egg day but if it doesn't I'm not gonna worry.

My Mom raised a bunch of rats in more ways than one. Cheese did not last long in our house. Too much cheese? IS there such thing?

DH is one of those. It's the cheese used by a lot of diners. That tasteless stuff. Not worth the calories and Doctor says to limit fat.
The boring cheese is so ubiquitous that he has taken to automatically saying 'no cheese'.

That is the pretend cheese. It either has no taste or they use hot spices to zip it up a bit. Will we ever get back to where not everything is hot spicy? I happen to be one who does not like to have my taste buds singed - I want to taste my food. Sigh..............
