I love how they call it a continental breakfast like it's supposed to be fancy but everybody on earth actually wants an English breakfast
They call it continental because it's in the style of what is served on the (European) continent.
Almost every half-decent hotel I've stayed in on the continent has a self-service mix of both. The breads, hams and cheeses of a continental but also heated cloches of eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns etc. Also it's served from about 7.30 to 10.30
If they sell you a shit breakfast, leave a one-star review and make a difference. Instead of rolling over and having your belly tickled by capitalism like the yanks do
Some shocking breakfasts in this thread but more shocking that some people just shrug and go "It is what it is"
It was styled on what Americans imagined European breakfasts to be like in the 50s, and cost optimized over subsequent decades.
