Going into our 25th year of making B&B breakfasts I am going to try something new. Gasp!
Yup, it's overdue...but I'm still not convinced that it will be worth the time and effort, so I am hoping that you can chime in with your opinions. (See, I have noticed that you all have opinions
)
This idea does not represent a big change, but it will necessitate some rearrangement in the dining room and a small expense as well as some additional prep time for me. Let me get to the question...
For those of you who serve a full breakfast, do you also offer homemade yogurt and home made granola? If you do...how often do your guests choose those items? Do you have them available for self-serve, or do you verbally let them know that they are available?
I am considering setting up self-serve area with these "healthy" options as a nod to the increase in the number of guests who don't eat meat, don't eat eggs, don't want much breakfast, ate too much for dinner the night before, or are looking for an additional protein. We will still serve each guest our full breakfast (cook's choice), even though it kills us to waste good food on some who clearly do not enjoy a big breakfast, but I am wondering if this "healthy" station, as an addition, might come under the "low hanging fruit" category. We do presently verbally offer Greek yogurt, since there is not room on the table for it, but very few guests ask for it. Perhaps if it were self-serve it would be more popular.
What do you think?
