from yaelf.com:
(Folklore/proverbial expressions)
Countries in continental Europe (i.e., the "continent") typically serve a cold breakfast of cereal, cheese, and croissant as a self-service buffet. This is contrasted with a "cooked breakfast" or more commonly, "full English breakfast", which typically includes fried eggs, sausage, ham, and tomato.
From dictionary.com:
continental: a small amount (advice that's not worth a continental).
So Mini Muffins are the prototypical continental breakfast item.
"The importance of this blog, my good men and women, is very continental."
