Is the Continental Breakfast the worst idea ever?
 

Isn't it? Hotels need to [censored] abandon this [censored].

Re: Is the Continental Breakfast the worst idea ever?
 

umm.... why? Its free food, you don't have to eat it. It is great if you are in a hurry. Bad thread

Re: Is the Continental Breakfast the worst idea ever?
 

No, I do have to eat it, because when I'm in a hotel I want a buffet, but instead I get gay juice, an apple, and a bowl of (typically unsugared) cereal. I am not just talking about hotels though.

Re: Is the Continental Breakfast the worst idea ever?
 

They suck because I always envision them being much more than they actually are.

Lincoln Continental = big
continents = big
continental breakfast = small

Re: Is the Continental Breakfast the worst idea ever?
 

Did you just get a * for this?

Re: Is the Continental Breakfast the worst idea ever?
 

It's also an odd name. Which continent do they mean? Do they mean intercontinental? Doesn't matter waht cantinent your on, it's still a crappy breakfast.

No, because if the hotel you're at is cheap enough to give continental breakfasts you probably won't get a buffet, you'll get nothing.

The European continent. French, Italians tend to eat an assortment of meats, cheeses, breads for breakfast. What we typically eat is the American version of the English Breakfast--eggs, sausuages, bacon, etc. I got the chance to try a real English Breakfast at an expensive hotel in London a while back. I was very excited about it. Everything was kind of like what an American would be used to, but slightly different, and a lot more greasy and disgusting--for about $36--a real steal.

Note: my disdain for English Breakfast is all based on my extremely small sample size consisting of the Marriot Rennassaince by the airport.

The point is that these hotels should invest in buffets.

Re: Is the Continental Breakfast the worst idea ever?
 

Not long ago they provided nothing. I agree they suck, but they are better than nothing.

Re: Is the Continental Breakfast the worst idea ever?
 

The trick is getting to the breakfast before all the good [censored] is gone. Don't roll up 5 minutes before it shuts down and expect to find anything good left.

Re: Is the Continental Breakfast the worst idea ever?
 

Yah, Contintental sucks. You should try a full English breakfast:

That looks horrible.

Re: Is the Continental Breakfast the worst idea ever?
 

That looks like somebody's diarrhea.

Re: Is the Continental Breakfast the worst idea ever?
 

It is. Everything is weird and greasy. Although I will admit that looks a lot better than the slop the Marriot was asking £18 for.

Re: Is the Continental Breakfast the worst idea ever?
 

What is the meat in the picture? Undercooked chicken? Gross bacon?

I can't place it.

Black things = sausages
Stripy pink stuff = bacon, cooked properly

Re: Is the Continental Breakfast the worst idea ever?
 

At least the English know how disgusting their food is and are smart enough to wrap up their utensils which will never be used.

Next time please post NSFW. Three of my co-workers just hurled in their trash cans.

NO IT DOESN'T. Do you also like blood pudding? Haggis? Grease on toast? Americans do not like these things and therefore they suck. Nevertheless, you're in England right? Go the Marriott Renaissance by Heathrow, plop down £18 (I'll reimburse), and tell me how much worse that is than a really good English Breakfast. If you say 1 million times worse, then I'll reconsider my opinion.

Re: Is the Continental Breakfast the worst idea ever?
 

It does. No, don't like Black Pudding and Haggis. Grease on toast - nah. Lard is okay though.

And yah ok, England is after all only 12 blocks by 12 blocks wide, so I'll take a walk down there tomorrow.
