in reply to The breakfast of champions is...

I voted for Eggs and Bacon.
However I also need a big cup of strong English Breakfast tea, a halve of grape and some butter fried mushrooms. Preferably of the species Agaricus
The mushroom reference is slightly pun-ny in relation to the poll title. In swedish the mushroom is called "Champinjon".
Lame, but it *is* friday afternoon.

    Why am I guessing tht "chaminjon" is pronounced vaguely like the French word for mushroom, "champignon?".

    Lord, PerlMonks does drag up oddments from my memory. I've got to get it re-indexed.

    I would advise avoiding this particular Agaric mushroom ;-)

      It gets even better. Do you know what the swedish word for mushroom is? Believe it or not, swampyankee, but it's "Svamp". LOL

        Nope; my total Swedish vocabulary is limited to no more than "skål", which I mispronounce.
