Just got back from a road trip of our own. A combination of family get together and an innkeeper's busman's holiday. (an impossible time to get away, but we did it anyway!)
We stayed in different places around our state and one in B.C. Lots of variations in what is provided, and how things are presented.
A couple of questions...for your breakfasts, how do you serve jam? We serve in a small 1 1/2 inch ramekin for two to share. (a couple at a table for two) Most places we've been serve those individually wrapped food service portions. I dislike that personally, and we often serve home made jam, but DH says guests will appreciate the sanitary aspect of the packets. I used to serve butter in the ramekins, but have moved to the individually wrapped. It doesn't seem to make any difference in the amount of butter used, so I'm guessing that people don't really have a preference about this.
For those of you who serve dinners, do you dress the salad, or serve the dressing on the side. I sooo like a dressed salad, so I serve them that way. I've never had any but a clean plate come back, but DH suggests that people like choice and many think served on the side means fewer calories. The only feedback I've had is from the people who ask for the recipe for the dressing.
