An English Breakfast Is A Full Breakfast

The term “continental breakfast” originally referred to a light morning meal served on the European continent. It consisted of coffee or tea as well as a croissant or other light snack, as opposed to the full “English breakfast” that was served in Britain. A traditional English breakfast includes hot food, such as eggs, breakfast meat, potatoes, beans, pudding and tea. Today, the term “continental breakfast” is commonly used in hotels throughout North America and other English-speaking countries. Hotels that advertise a continental breakfast typically offer breakfast that is included inside the price of the hotel. A continental breakfast at a North American hotel is typically self-serve. It may range from complimentary coffee, tea and muffins to a fullbuffet of eggs, bacon, sausages, pancakes, waffles, cereal and fresh fruit. In North America, the term “English Breakfast” is typically associated with a traditional blend of full-bodied black tea served with milk and sugar.
