At a hotel in Hawaii their breakfast buffet was made to accommodate the tastes of Japanese tourists, to my joy. I made a beeline to the part of the buffet that served sticky white rice, miso soup, pickles and tofu. I’m not big on huge greasy American breakfasts anyway and I was relieved to find this option. This food plus chilled tropical fruit formed all of my breakfasts when I was there (with a little Spam thrown in on occasion).

When I was in Israel, they always had what I believe to be cold, possibly pickled fish available for breakfast.
I never ate any of it. I’m picky about fish at the best of times.
It was also funny seeing some of my tourmates have fits because at breakfast coffee was served with cream–not nonfat, nondairy creamer. (At dinner, coffee was served with creamer, not cream. Yes, the restaurants we ate at all served Kosher food–or if they didn’t, it was non-obvious to me, the non-Jew tourist).
I do enjoy breakfasting on fruit, cheeses, and bread products. Except when the fruit have seeds in them and I don’t realize it.

Could the fish have been lox? Smoked salmon eaten on a bagel, for instance with cream cheese?
Also, was the breakfast dairy (no meat, fish is ok)? Then cream would have been fine.
I’m another soft boiled egg fan and I love using egg cups! Poached eggs on toast is my fave.
