Jamie Oliver thought he could get away with over charging for Pasta and failed. It's pasta regardless how you cook it.
Wasn’t our current PM was it ? Unfortunately I can just see it !I've had breakfast at the savoy, about 10 years ago and it was over £20 then.

i think the jamie oliver failure in part was trying to bring trendy chef cuisine to the masses, they over streched his empire...
people will pay over priced for exclusivity but they wont if its easily available and possibly no better than elsewhere..
those jamies resteraunts were just a chain that used his reputation but ended up almost destroying it...
my son worked in one and while they tried to associate it with him they failed miserably in quality...

In a posh hotel the price Gordon has set works but take that to any high street cafe/greasy spoon and no way would you sell it.

Anyone who is shocked at this price has clearly never had a breakfast in a hotel before. This is pretty much par for the course.
I guess some people on here are of the "quantity over quality" mindset too
I reckon all of the produce will be quality form a rare breed pigs and the eggs will be of the highest standard. The yolks tell me they areI agree with your first paragraph but regarding the second, there doesn't even look to be that much in the way of quality on that plate, to be fair.
