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.

"Undignified" or "bare basics" foods like quick-oats mixed with milk and raisins, canned stew/sausages/beans eaten straight out of the can, etc.
Self-sufficient dude: I really appreciate how Tiffany accepts me as I am and is always okay with just the typical "bachelor pad" cuisine that I feed her whenever she comes over... she values my companionship and caring, she realizes that I am always kind and generous in my own way, and she is grateful for any and all help that I give her, and so she doesn't mind my somewhat-cluttered digs or the hard-boiled eggs and cold "reduced for quick sale" sandwiches soaked in whole milk that I typically serve her for snacks.

Stephanie: "I love your find cuisine, Nadine."

vertical cuisine
