Continental breakfast

Encyclopedia : C : CO : CON : Continental breakfast

A typical Continental Breakfast consists of a breadstuff (such as toast, croissants, pastries) and coffee, tea, or other liquid. The Continental Breakfast is the "antithesis of the hearty English Breakfast, in which one sits down to cereal, bacon, eggs, sausage, tomatoes, toast, marmalade, and tea.

The Continental Breakfast concept isn't limited to Europe, as evidenced by the numerous American hotel chains that offer this service. Some countries, especially those in Scandinavia, do add fruit and cheese to the bread menu, and even a boiled egg or salami.¹
