We had a couple to stay some years ago. They live in another part of the UK. We had dinner out but we provided breakfast. The lady of the couple is a very fussy eater so I got an array of food. We offered them a cooked breakfast, eggs any way they wanted them, toast, marmalade, jam, several cereals, different spreads and butter, different milks, various juices and hot drinks. They ate a hearty breakfast.
Later when we stayed with them, we went down for breakfast. The lady said 'I've made porridge.' I told her I didn't like porridge. She said 'Well we haven't got anything else'. She didn't even offer me a piece of toast. No breakfast for me then!
