USA

Group G - U.S.A.

What is it?
Bacon and eggs and pancake and syrup.

How was it?
A jumble of sweet and savoury on one plate, yet every combined well with the others on the plate. The pancakes, buttermilk I believe [check this] were thick and the eggs flowed, yet neither of these tasted obviously sweet or savoury. Rather, there was a sweet-savoury spectrum on the plate, running from the bacon (the veggie bacon was adequate for its purpose) to the syrup.

Overall thoughts:

I’m usually sceptical when it comes to mixing sweet and savoury, but this was a triumph. The syrup had a simplicity to it which made it easily complicit with the other items. The syrup was the real triumph on the plate. Unhealthy? Yes, no question. Delicious? You betcha.

If it was an American footballer?

The delightful yet complex sweet play of Michael Bradley makes him the closest match.
