They call it continental because it's in the style of what is served on the (European) continent.
what I mean to say is, I think they choose a continental breakfast because it sounds fancy and is cheap. not that they made up the word Continental for it
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"
