Continental Cuisine

Prime rib with crab sauce, filet mignon with lobster tail and crab sauce, shrimp cocktail, dry martini, possibly abalone? Fancy-in-the-1950s, vaguely American-European food thats generally delicious. Stuff that Frank Sinatra presumably ate.

Also could refer to the stuff thats at a typical hotel breakfast, IE Continental Breakfast. Toast, Jam, Butter, Pastries, sausage patties, honeydew. Stuff that Frank Sinatra presumably ate for breakfast.

I had continental cuisine the other day.
What did you have?
Filet Mignon
Thats not what I would typically call continental cuisine.
It had bearnaise sauce all over it.
Oh I see.
