Europe is a pretty big continent...the breakfast you get in the Netherlands is going to be different to the one you get in France or the UK.

Yes, we have several hotels over here, in the county (city? village?) of Europe.

Italy vs. Germany. The only occasion where Germany wins against Italy when it comes to food. But Turkey is where the real breakfast kings reside.

Hold up- did you just say German food is better than Italian? I have never once in my life seen a German restaurant. Italian restaurants are all over the place

Edit: apologies. I misread and that you said "is when it comes to food". Sounds like I need to try me some German breakfast.

German breakfast is good, but it isn't the greates breakfast on earth. But Italian breakfast is terrible. It is basically coffee and some sweet pastry.

IDK I might be biased but what you described sounds like heaven.

Meanwhile Germans fry sausages at every occasion, call that cuisine, and yet aren't event the best in Europe at doing that.

No fried sausage at a German breakfast. That is England.

Yes, but many big hotel chains have a buffet style breakfast that does not only include typical local food. For instance in France a local breakfast would be bread, croissant or other pastries, and a coffee, but you would also find scrambled eggs, bacon, cereal, etc.

Smaller hotels will be more local though yes.

That's a continental breakfast, and they're popular in the US too, both east and west coast.

Okay I've had hotel breakfasts in literally those three and it was great. But you make a good point.
