Please 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.

These look great, squarely in my breakfast wheelhouse, definitely eggy, but with - well, I guess what I now know as a hint of darkness. Thanks for sharing.

I've been meaning to go to Sri Lanka..

FYI, You may not have to travel to Sri Lanka to try one. You can get them e.g. in London UK: https://www.hopperslondon.com/

sadly, they don't open for breakfast.

I wonder if this is why I've missed them? I've lived within a few hundred metres of their Soho place for the best part of the last decade.

Is the "Dutch Baby" in the pancake group some alternative name for "flensjes" that I'm not familiar with? It's a thin dessert variation of Dutch pancakes that has relatively high egg and milk ratios compared to flour.

I've tried their Kings X restaurant, and while their food is delicious, and the decor is also really nice, its not particularly authentic, and I felt its a bit overpriced (tbf its an extremely central location). I don't live in London so can't suggest a better alternative, but I'm sure there are much more authentic restaurants.

Someone 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.

I think I will attempt to just eat the negative eggs because at least I recognize, and can define what both "negative" and "eggs" mean. Can't say the same for literally half the words in the OP's graph.

Chicken maybe? It would represent an egg that did exist, but now doesn't.

In the breakfast space, I'm afraid, chicken is orthogonal to eggs.

Dutch Baby or German Pancake is probably right in that abyss.

Very eggy, with some flour/milk. It's essentially a souffle, puffs up to like 6" high in the oven. Tasty with maple syrup, powdered sugar/lemon, or just butter.

6 Eggs, 1 C flour, 1C milk.
