      Great breakfast with scrambled eggs with LZeppelin. Wasn't Led Zeppelin the renowned singer of yesteryears?
      Thanks for this scotch whiskey( instead of champagne?) opener. You had n=me zapped for the best part of this Saturday morning witgh your fizzy stuff.

      I leave the last one unsolved for the others to zip it up with Zeppelin.

      I hope this is not the one and only breakfast session with you , Zeppelin?

      Keep em' coming. We all immensely enjoyed our pot pongal dyzpepzia !

      Why didn't you include pizza too?

    We used to call it 'Ama vadai' in Tamil, which looks like having come from 'Ambode'. That finishes the snacks having started from breakfast.
