A True Continental Breakfast

Being primarily a short haul flyer, even when the upgrades clear, a meal is not something to expect.  Usually if there is anything offered, it is an item from a snack basket, and that is it.  Anything more substantial is a surprise.  Especially since my flights are always labeled as snack for first class.  The flight from ATL-IAH was no exception, especially since they had downgraded it to the 737-500 from the -700.  And I was surprised when taking drink orders that I was asked if I wanted hot croissants.  I said yes (I love croissants in general, though it is rare that I take the effort to heat them up) and this is what was delivered.

I know, it is not as fancy as some of the other breakfasts shown on this site, but I actually like it for its simplicity.  Airline food does not really have the highest standards, and the fancier they get for domestic flights, the more likely something is to go wrong, and present a truly inedible concoction.  By keeping it simple they offer something that is good, and hard to mess up.  I would happily take this again, and wish more airlines learned that sometimes a simple breakfast goes a long way instead of trying to deliver a heavier breakfast that suffers from preparation problems.
