What are you having for breakfast?

[Odds]

Kedgeree with a couple of poached eggs. Had it out on the deck this morning. Big mistake, bloody bathed in sweat before we’d even left the ship.

Exactly. There is a reason to travel in a suite.

Omelette ‘Arnold Bennett’.
I’d never heard of it before. Very nice. Look it up.

True, but with two poached eggs i'd like more than one slice for dipping.
All that 'presentation' guff means is they can skip on ingredients to save a few quid.
The omelette looks good though.

They weren’t for dipping. The pieces of toast you can see are about 40cm square and are just to rest the poached eggs on to stop them sliding all over the plate when it is brought to you. Toast is separate and they will bring you as much as you like in toast racks. I had a rack of mixed.

All that 'presentation' guff means is…

…that they are reassuringly expensive and keep the riff raff at bay and in the places they belong.

Fry up this morning with a rack of toast. Oh, and @Odds, please note the two toast cushioned my poached eggs are resting on….
