[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would venture to guess there is a historical classist and lifestyle reason. As others have said that full English breakfast would have fueled a full, physical workday with maybe a minimal packed lunch. That continental did not necessarily fuel the same type of work day and also would likely be followed by a more substantial lunch. I think of Paris or Rome where people have their quick continental breakfast, perhaps even standing (Rome), but have a leisurely lunch that may have more than one course. It all balanced out and each had its reasons I expect.[/quote] Oh that is really interesting (and I love it when people point out the issue of class so thanks for that) It could also have something to do with the fact that the English, bless their heart, suck at pastry compared to the continent. (But I’m still team English if forced to choose). [/quote]
