From Quiz My Breakfast Through the Years

Answer: Pop Tarts

Pop Tarts come in many flavors as can be seen on their official website. They contain a fruit or sweet filling covered by either a sugar frosted top or a plain doughy top. My two favorite flavors were unfrosted strawberry and Dutch apple which no longer exists. Instead of toasting them, I usually ate them cold which significantly reduced the chances of burning my tongue on the hot fruit filling. I would eat the crust around the outside first without biting into the fruit so I could get maximum fruitiness when I got to that part.

Couple it with a coffee and you've got a pretty good breakfast.

From Quiz You've Got to Be Yolking!

Answer: Mayonnaise

Mayonnaise is easy to make with a food processor or blender, and the homemade version tastes far superior to anything you can purchase! It is delicious used directly as a dressing for cold vegetables or meat, and can be dressed up by the addition of other ingredients: adding roasted garlic to the eggs (and, optionally, some prepared mustard at the end) will produce aioli; adding chopped pickles, capers, shallots and parsley at the end will give you a tartar sauce. Many more creative variations are possible, including the use of lime, orange or a tasty vinegar instead of the lemon juice! Mayonnaise recipe: Mix 2 egg yolks and 2 - 3 teaspoons of lemon juice in a blender along with a pinch of salt and blend until it just starts to thicken. With the motor running, slowly add 200ml of oil (olive oil is traditional) to the mixture, occasionally stopping to scrape down the sides. When the oil is added, and you have a lovely, thick, creamy mixture; taste and add salt, lemon and pepper as desired. If you are not using it immediately, cover with plastic to prevent the formation of a skin and refrigerate for up to a week.
