I wonder if this was less about "English food" and more about wanting a more substantial (and protein-filled) breakfast instead of some breads and jams.

I could see someone seeking compensation from a travel agencies that told her "oh yeah, they have an amazing breakfast, so you don't need to worry about that! You won't need to eat until supper if you stay at that hotel!"

Nah she actually was super upset she wasnt getting English staples lol. She wanted toast and bacon and sausage and fries.

They gave her rice and fish and she said after "she never wanted to look at a plate of rice again", and she was complaining that she never got sausage or bacon, and while at first I thought they weren't giving her much meat... She complained about the kebabs and said that was the worst part.

She even got toast and chips (“fries”)!
