What is usually an American breakfast outside of the US?
A number of hotels outside of the US offer something they call an American Breakfast. What does that usually include in terms of food and beverage?
I have seen this choice offered in a few countries but right now I am looking into what Mexicans think an American breakfast is. Have been to Mexico 8 times already but never picked that option.

It'll vary a little from place to place and on your establishment's interpretation.
However, a good definition comes from businessdictionary.com:
A hotel breakfast that includes most or all of the following: two eggs (fried or poached), sliced bacon or sausages, sliced bread or toast with jam/jelly/butter, pancakes with syrup, cornflakes or other cereal, coffee/tea, orange/grapefruit juice

If they're trying to include some unique American food, biscuits and gravy is a fairly uniquely-American dish.

Answer 2
"An American Breakfast" is not a standardized item, especially from country to country The only things it usually seems to include is some form of bread, meat and eggs. In S. Korea sometimes the bread was jam and coleslaw sandwiches. In Thailand sometimes the meat was fish sausage. In Sweden the eggs are usually soft boiled, but they do throw in some baked beans to keep the English happy too.
Answer 3
Both terms "American breakfast" and "Continental Breakfast" mean widely different things at different hotels and in different countries. The only thing for sure is that when both are offered, the American breakfast is larger and has more items and heartier items than the Continental breakfast.
While the American breakfast usually includes eggs and meat (often pork), sometimes a Continental breakfast does as well. Sometimes the Continental breakfast has only hard-boiled or scrambled eggs, while the American breakfast offers eggs any style or omelets. It really does depend on the specific hotel.
