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.

I got some of that once. Did yours come through a hole in the wall?

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

That looks horrible.

That looks like somebody's diarrhea.
