This is amazing - and somehow channels both Douglas Adams and Randall Munroe at the same time...

#63This whole thing is simply missing all milk based diary products like cheese, yogurt, white cheese, etc. When that is included then there is no gap or any mysterious quadrant.

#66In Malaysia, a common breakfast is roti telur + teh tarik which is close to the dark breakfast region. It's like paratha, with an egg, and milk tea. It is difficult to put milk into food. Why not just drink it? Alternatively, can we drink eggs and flour? Cheese is another variation for milk. What about grilled cheese and eggs? Or some variation on Mac and Cheese? You can also consider other dimensions like vegetables…
There is prior art in the grilled cheese and eggs area: Denny’s Moons Over My Hammy.
For a continental vibe see the french "Croque Madame"

#67Please allow me to introuce you to the sri lankan egg hopper (https://www.lavenderandlovage.com/2016/05/sri-lankan-egg-hop...) which lives squarely in the aforementioned dark abyss.

#68Going against the spirit of TFA here, but I believe you can eat anything at any time of day, and my favorite breakfast tends to be regular food. Chili, soup, pasta, baked potatoes. Something warm, filling, and usually involving salt. I do sometimes have something more traditional, like oatmeal, but it's not as satisfying. I also sometimes have oatmeal as my final meal of the day if I'm hungry but already a bit tired, as it's more calm than something like spicy chili.

That is not what we are talking about.
Also, amazing article, haven't laughed that hard all day!

#70Someone else may have said this but strictly speaking breakfast is something like a cone in a vector space, unless you want to explain to me how to eat negative eggs.
Easy. Start eating two eggs a day. Then one day, eat three eggs taking the extra egg from tomorrows two spare eggs left in the carton.
