On the first day, I picked familiar looking items. I'd like to point out that there is no pork on my plate. I have "veal bacon", "beef pepperoni", and some kind of "ham" that simply wasn't ham. I had salmon hash, mint-lemon juice, cheese, a date, a sweet pastry, and some strange fruit Craig insisted that I try.
Turns out, the fruit was good enough that I took a second one on my return trip. I tried some different kinds of cheese and several more fruits. The crazy spiky looking one is another that Craig had gotten on the first trip through the buffet and I had enjoyed. I picked up the donut for Craig in case the waffles didn't turn out. As it happens, he didn't eat waffles or the donut. (The donut was more like bread with unsweetened chocolate on top.)
The second day, I was a little more adventurous. Craig claims that the tortilla type things have melted cheese in them, but I'm not convinced. They taste more like butter-soaked tortilla that hasn't been fried properly. The roasted tomato with cheese was good. The fried noodles were extremely spicy - not flavorful, just hot. There was a strange casserole that turned out to be mashed potatoes with a few green beans in it - tasty enough, but maybe not my idea of breakfast. Another casserole like dish that had many types of squash in it with eggs cooked on top. And, of course, a date.
When I went back to the buffet, I got fresh fruit (they didn't have any exotic fruits left by the time I went back through) and a couple pastries. These were better than the donut from the day before.

Looking back at these pictures, I realize that my breakfast preference leans heavily toward fresh fruit.
Craig ordered off the menu both mornings. The first morning he tried waffles, which were not freshly made. He asked the server about them and got a new, over-reheated version. The second morning, he ordered Huevos Rancheros.
This was not at all what he expected. To make things even more interesting, the "chorizo" was a beef sausage that tasted like Slim Jims.
