Why is it called "Continental Breakfast"?!


Question:

Why is it called "Continental Breakfast"?

I never got that. Do you only get it on continents? Was it invented by William J. Continent?


Answers:
The way they eat it on the Continent of Europe as opposed to the UK, which are island offshore of Europe

A typical continental breakfast consists of "a breadstuff (such as toast, croissants, pastries) and coffee, tea, or other liquid." Furthermore, the continental breakfast is the "antithesis of the hearty English breakfast

=)

maybe continental because of the various types of food..

or because people from all floors and hotel rooms can eat breakfast for free?

Continental refers to the style... its a simple breakfast with rolls, etc and coffee tea....
