It’s because the alternative is “continental breakfast” which consists of a few slices of warm ham, tiny slices of bread and a bunch of fruit that’s already on the turn.
I guess it was named so during the early 40s.
That’s why I’m sticking with alpine/Austrian breakfast: Real bread (Google “Schwarzbrot”), real cereals (a mix of oats, dried fruits and nuts, with hot milk) or Sterz (a breakfast made from ground maize, couldn’t find a translation) with apples and raisins. Depends on how much time I have and what I’m doing on that day (before a long hike or a long day of skiing Sterz is the best).
Sterz
I think Polenta is internationally more well known. Sterz is similar to Polenta.
Good point. They’re the same, the difference lies in how you continue after cooking it.

Way to gatekeep. 🙄
Sometimes, it’s good to gatekeep. @pumpkinseedoil is correct on this one
Not even one bit. Fluffy bread is superior in every way in my opinion. And eating raw oats is just nasty.
