Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. You know what freaks me out? Its those people who don’t eat breakfast. Breakfast is the first thing I think of when I wake up, and God help someone who gets in my way when it is breakfast time. To those who forgot to eat breakfast, I’d like to respond, “Hey, are you the same wierdo who forgets to breathe when they are exercizing–you know, the one the aerobics instuctor always says ‘don’t forget to breathe’ to?”– because that’s just retarded!
Okay, back to my breakfast review lol. See how easily I become distracted?
Normally if Hubby and I eat breakfast out its at McDonalds. We love the hashbrowns 
. We do, however, like to treat ourselves, if you haven’t noticed. This time we had breakfast at Fortnum & Mason’s newly renovated Fountain Restaurant. The room is bright and surprisingly lively, and the service was perfect. But lets get to the important stuff: the food!

Hubby only had a croissant (wuss) and some overpriced coffee, Jamacain Blue Mountain, which he said was excellent. The croissant was very big and fluffy and it came with three big jars of Fortnum & Mason’s own brand of jams and marmalade (strawberry jam, rasberry jam, and orange marmalde). Hubby was slightly dissapointed that his croissant was not hot/warm. He thought that because we were eating at Fortnum’s it would be fresh. I don’t know if the croissants are baked on the premisis or not. I did taste it. It was nice, but not terribly out of the ordinary.
Hubby was jealous of my breakfast though, and deservedly so lol. I had something called the Highland Scramble. This was scrambled eggs on top of a piece of toast with a very large portion of smoked salmon. Let me just say that these scrambled eggs were without a doubt, the best I have ever tasted. My goodness, these were so creamy. I bet there was cream in there (I need to figure out how to replicate this at home–any tips?). Hubby’s turned green with envy after tasting it, and this forced me to hunch protectively over my food. Hey buster, you chose the croissant, now eat it!
Oh by the way, it also comes with a half of a lemon that is tied up in a little muslin cloth and secured with a F&M ribbon. This is so you can squeeze your lemon onto the salmon without getting any pits. Pretty chi chi . Ah, I was made for this kind of fine living!

We also ordered some toast to share and this came in an adoreable little wicker box, reminiscent of the famous Fortnum & Mason hampers which are oh so coveted during the holidays. I have never been a recipient for one of these goodie troughs, but if you would like to send me one, I will gladly give you my address, oh, and I will love you forever.
Hmm… I think the McDonalds hash browns are going to become a bit of a downer now.
