Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I eat them all on the same plate, but I try not to have the syrup touch the meat product...

I'm in the pour-extra-syrup-so-you-can-be-sure-to-have-enough-for-the-meat-product camp, myself.

If I only had a brain...

Maple-smoked bacon is actually pretty common.

I've always thought pigs in blankets were weird, though. As are waffles with bacon baked in.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

There's a vending machine at my school that sells two kinds of coffee milk, plus strawberry, chocolate, and plain.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I've seen coffee milk sold here. I think that one of the organic brands sells it.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Wait, they SELL coffee milk? Like, premade? That's...really weird. But I'm tempted to try it.

Ah, the strange exotic tastes of the Antipodes.

And Rhode Island. I like coffee milk a lot, but the best was when I was teaching at CCRI, and the cafeteria there had dispensers for both chocolate milk and coffee milk. I'd mix them 50-50 for mocha milk.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Pancake - potatoes - pancake - sausage - pancake - bacon - pancake.

It's called a Construction. Can be obtained at your finer Eggspectations outlets.

They took it off the menu a few years ago, but they know it when I order it by name.

God, I LOVE that. It's appointment breakfast in a city that loves its breakfast.

Uhhh .... Montreal.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

Is there a whole range of milk flavors in Oz?

Oh yeah baby! We have the old favourites of: chocolate; strawberry; banana; mocha; egg nog and coffee. The coffee milk is properly referred to as "Iced Coffee". Although I've never tried yours, the flavour we call "egg nog" probably bears little resemblance to the home-made concoction you call "egg nog".

Over the last few years there has been a real boom in the flavoured milk market. On top of the old standards, we now have a range of milks based on favourite chocolate bars. For example, there is now "Crunchie" millk (choc/honeycomb flavour) and "Caramello" milk (choc/caramel flavour). You can also buy pre-made "Milo", which seems kinda pointless to me, since the big attraction of Milo to me is heaping the powder on top of the milk and eating most of it before it dissolves. :)

re Maple Syrup: all the syrups in my local supermarkets are imported from the US or Canada. They are either pre-bottled, or bottled in Australia but the contents is always imported syrup.

re soup and crackers: Angus ... some of us fancy pants also like croutons in our soup

re Pie Floaters: I suddenly recalled that the floater has been talked about by a couple of visiting celebrities. I'm pretty sure Billy Connolly tried one, on camera, while in Adelaide filming and performing his "World Tour of Australia" show. :)
