I am in Wiesbaden staying in a cheap enough Ibis hotel. Cutting my mixed grain bread this morning, I began thinking about Catering Grade ...
Stay in a ** hotel near any of London´s railway termini and you will encounter Catering Grade - a device by which your hundred pound a night B and B can avoid spending anything on your breakfast. Most visitors to the Olympics will discover Catering Grade and their rooms will cost one fifty a night.
Teabags which produce dishwasher grey tea, chalk white squares of bread, confitures which are coloured jellies, sausages which ... it`s too awful to contemplate.Given the chance, they will serve you UHT milk just like municipal cafes.
Time I say for the EU to act. Make Catering Grade illegal!

Conversely, the quality of breakfast in many European hotels has improved considerably over the past few years. That’s because, with the industry being such a competitive business, hotels have to keep down their base prices whilst making a profit by doubling the price of breakfast – and you can only get away with that if you serve something better than a bread roll and a dodgy looking croissant.
