What makes a continental breakfast, “continental”?
In: Culture
It’s referring to continental Europe where breakfast is typically a lighter meal than the traditional English breakfast. American and international hotels picked up the term and began using it as well. Essentially it’s things like coffee, tea, juice, toast, muffins, croissants, pastries, fruit, and sometimes cold meats, and cheeses, and cold cereals. It’s also served buffet style. Generally anything that’s served hot or cooked is not included.
Edit because smartasses gonna smartass: OBVIOUSLY hot drinks are served hot and all the things that have been baked or cooked have been doneso beforehand. Cooked means things like eggs, pancakes, waffles, sausage, bacon, oatmeal…etc. I’m fairly certain given the context of the question and my own answer, you all knew this already.
