One of Scandinavia’s biggest hotel chains has banned sausages and bacon from the menu after its billionaire owner yielded to the influence of his environmental campaigner wife.

“This is a new breakfast concept for our Comfort hotels,” Petter Stordalen, the billionaire owner of Norway’s Nordic Choice Hotel Group told the Norwegian news site Hegnar.no, about the new green, healthy menu. 

 

“The focus on sustainability permeates what we do in Nordic Choice.” 

 

The menu, which has been developed in collaboration with Dr Gunhild Stordalen’s EAT Food Forum, offers healthy, plant-based alternatives to the greasy breakfast some see as one of the perks of business travel. 

 

As well as removing sausages and bacon, the menu has also been stripped of any cereals or cheese which include palm oil among their ingredients, to reduce the destruction of the rainforest, 

 

According to Sweden’s Västerbottens Kuriren newspaper, the change has not gone down well with some travellers to the Hotell Winn in the northern city of Umeå. 

 

“There are mixed reactions,” says Ebba Kohl, who runs the restaurant. “Some are upset and some understanding.” 

 

Kenneth Hultgren, a press officer for the Comfort chain in Sweden, said that the chain was trialling the idea, and would decide whether to abandon it or extend it to other chains in the coming months. 

 

“We want to challenge and break down many of the traditional conventions around hotels,” he said. “When guests check out of our hotel they will feel that we have helped them to make good and healthy choices, that our food has been tasty and healthy.”

They don’t want to “offend” their new Muzzie masters.

Frankie, to the hotel owner:

Just like the scumbag pussies in Winooski Vermont that took down the “Brake for Bacon” sign. Simplistic pussies.

When SHTF, you locals had better know better.

So does this hotel have pastry, sugary foods, caffeinated coffee, cigs? High fat meats?

It’s ok, more bacon for Americans!

Shouldn't that be 1001?

[DoughtyOne]

Say what?

People should cancel their reservations.

The hotel will figure it out, but quick.

Bring your own sausages and bacon

From the black human heart.

Norway doesn't yet realize that most of the rest of the world does not desire excessively-salted seafood for breakfast.
