Haha. I'd suggest that what's missing in the um "latent space" here, is that the triangle should be a pentagon involving some form of bacon/sausage, and some form of potato.

This cracked me up, because I had a fantastic dream the other night where I had a tour through a donut factory. But the best thing I had (in the dream) was something I'd never tried before, never seen, and which I intend to make at the earliest opportunity. It was slightly salty french fries, buttered and coated in sugar and cinnamon, like cinnamon toast. Bang on. Makes a lot of sense too, if you think about it. Definitely would fit in the "dark breakfast" polygon.

[edit] the potato and bacon theory also comes from what ends up deliciously mixed on your plate at the end, which along with syrup and ketchup is also an integral part of any egg/flour/milk breakfast.

The closest existing food I know to this are churros, which can be truly excellent when made well. In places like Barcelona, they dip them in chocolate sauce.

I support your experiments in potato-based churro analogs!

Yeah meat is another dimension, as is potato. So we're up to 4 dimensional breakfast latent space. I hate to think what's in the dark breakfast black hole of that 4 dimensional latent space...

Isn't a basic soufflé gonna fall somewhere in the dark breakfast territory?

so, a pentagon, you say. hmmm. Yes, or more properly a pentacle, a protective glyph around the sacred meal.

yes, a much better vector space. Thank you, Noduerme, you are one of the faithful.

I'd add oil as another dimension - sunflower oil, olive oil, butter, lard, whatever.
