On to the foods!
First our waitress brought us the house juice, even though we both asked for orange juice and she also wasn't sure if we could order a press pot on the DxDP as one of our drinks or not (we could) and didn't find out until after she took our room card and check back to run it... she was not the brightest bulb on the Disney dining tree.
Neither of us like passion fruit or guava, but the special juice (Jamba juice?) was ok, not as bad as I was afraid it would be. I actually drank most of it. Partly because it took our press pot a while to get to us. (That would also be why we don't have a shot specifically of the press pot of coffee though you can see a sliver of press pot or coffee cup in a few other shots so keep your eyes peeled if you care about that sort of thing!)
Here's my first plate:
Moving clockwise from the top:
Chocolate croissant: yummy, but I didn't eat a whole lot of it
Grapes: I never actually got around to eating these. I'm sure they were pretty good, though.
Bacon: Good and crispy. I liked this better than the Kona bacon we'd had the day before.
Potatoes: Really yummy and seasoned well. My favorite potatoes of the trip.
Scrambled eggs: Good, but Kona's were better.
Goat cheese & chive scrambled eggs: These were totally awesome and my 2nd favorite thing I had at this breakfast. Different, but in a good way.
French toast: Yummy.
Scone: Also yummy.
While most of the stuff on this plate was good, it was immediately overshadowed by this:
K, I know it looks really gross, but it was SO FLIPPING GOOD. This is the Curried Sausage and Biscuits. Being a Southern Gal, I love me some biscuits and sausage gravy and this was a super awesome twist on that. It was just a little bit spicy, but had so much flavor and the biscuits were really good, too. My absolute favorite thing from this breakfast. I would totally go back just to get this.
Here's my second plate:
Clockwise from the top:
Pap: K, I know I said I'm a Southern Gal, but I'm one of very few who really just doesn't like grits. At all. But, I wanted to try new things, so I got this (and I didn't know it would be like grits). I just really didn't care for it at all. Grits in any language and all that.
Strawberries: I never made it to these, either. I had really good intentions, though!
Grapes: I'm pretty sure these are actually the grapes from the first plate. I didn't eat them over here, either.
Grilled tomato: This was yummy. It tasted pretty much like you would expect it to.
--------------------------------------
And here is my first plate:
Starting up top I had the:
Cinnamon raisin French toast and syrup: good and fluffy and tasty, but I still prefer regular F.T.
Bacon: good bacon, nice and crispy, not greasy
Regular eggs: fine, normal scrambled eggs
Goat cheese and chive scrambled eggs: really good, I loved these and would gladly eat them any day
Cinnamon bun: ok, not great. A little on the dry side.
Bluebery muffin: tiny, just ok
Plate number two:
Starting at the top:
Roasted/grilled/whatevered turkey and ham: both were quite good, thick cut (by hand at the buffet for you, of course), juicy, and tasty. I also got a little of the Boma mustard that was next to them and it was very good on the meats.
Watermelon: not good watermelon, kind of dry, not very sweet
Grilled tomato: good - tasted like a grilled tomato - surprise!
More goat cheese and chive eggs: again, just love these.
Pap: Grits in any language, fluently spoken here.
The Boma press-pot coffee: strong and much "earthier" than the Kona coffee press pot. Even with cream and sugar (I like my coffee heavily polluted) the Boma coffee was quite "up front". Not like an Italian espesso, but in a more earthy way. Earthy. (I just wanted to say earthy again, haha.)
Lastly our waitress - Brenda was her name - brought us out a dessert plate in honor of our Honeymoon. "Honeymoon?", you ask. Yes, I said honeymoon. ("That's what she said.") Why? We have no idea. I was wearing a
birthday button and our ADRs clearly listed
birthday on all of them. However, when I got my birthday button the CM offered Tazicket a "princess button" as he called it since she didn't have a button. It looks like this:
So evidently they also use this button for a Honeymoon celebration button or something. I guess I just felt my birthday was more important than our wedding and that was why I wasn't wearing a honeymoon button? Who knows.
Either way, it got us a plate of these:
From left to right they were (to the best of our guessing since Brenda didn't tell us what any of them were - she dropped it on the edge of the table and said "And this is for your Honeymoon," and took the check back with her to the back...):
Some sort of dark chocolate truffle thing?:
Very rich and chewy and very good
Yum! Dark and rich!
A carrot or apple spice cake with a glaze of some sort?:
Good, slight spice, chewy moist cake
good; lightly spiced
A pistachio cookie thing?:
Light and crunchy but airy cookie with a creamy filling - this tiny cookie helped me remember that I used to eat pistachios a looooong time ago and for some reason stopped but that I still like them - woo hoo!
also good; different
A jelly pyramid thingy that was apricot flavored?:
Like a nasty apricot flavored gummy pyramid as you'd expect (in fairness we both hate apricot, lol) I'm sure this would be fine if you like apricot and gummy things. I'm not a huge fan of either, but especially the apricot flavor. Luckily, we ate these in backwards order so the apricot thing was first and the awesome chocolate thing was last.
really didn't care for this (as Golf4food detailed above)
--------------------------------------
We both give Boma breakfast 3.5 penguins:
Some real stars, a few duds, mostly solid. Neither of us are big on buffets but we'll definitely be back at Boma for breakfast again at some point.
We brave some really bad science fiction in search of burgers and shakes that are rumored to be out of this world... or at least pretty good.
