United KingdomHuge range of selections, cold buffet mostly with sausages and fries and eggs warm. Typical breakfast fare as well as Turkish items I did not expect-- olive mezzes, babaganoush, fries with stir fried peppers, etc etc. The coffee however was like Folgers, lol. Only disappointment. Otherwise, picture-worthy!
