a) One cup of Instant coffee, or tea, ONE slice each of thin storebought white toast with a choice or marmalade, or margarine. We paid extra for the continental breakfast through British Airways. London
b) Then the B&B who had a Mr Coffee (which was empty when we approached it) and a bag of storebought white bread FROM the freezer and still frozen to make your own toast) and a bowl of oranges. I took the oranges. Townsville, Queensland Australia
c) A banana divided up between the innkeeping couple who sat with us and shared the table uninvited, and what we thought, and still do think, was french toast made from a hot dog bun. She called it stuffed french toast, we called it a hot dog bun. Also flavored coffee that gave us a rotting gut...We had to leave after breakfast and go get breakfast. Bristol Tennessee
c) an Entennman's pack of Danish and a pot of coffee. I actually didn't mind this one, to be honest. It was a take with you and sit outside type thing, so didn't worry me. Palm Springs, CALF
Wait! Guests told me about the place where the owner came by and put a dozen krispy kreme on the counter and left. I forgot about that, it was also TN. We had a great laugh, and I said "Hm I actually really like Krispy Kreme..."

In Vermont - Paid in advance for 4 people - 2 rooms. We are told the night of arrival that she is busy with the kennels in the morning so the refrigerator is stocked, just fix what we want and she cleans up. OK.
next morning we find a small amount of cream, instant coffee, OJ, and 1 (yes, that is ONE) egg for the 4 of us.
