One more time – and the last time I’m going to say this tonight – if you want to fight, take it to the Pit.

I was going to close this thread but have – briefly – reconsidered. Just what do you think is being violated here? Besides the rule against personal insults?

Yes. You just use Aunt Jemima pancake mix, poured out into 16-inch rounds and cooked like a normal pancake, to make the “tortilla”. Then fill the pancake with bacon, egg, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, diced green and red peppers, some fried onions, some fried diced potatoes, and some warm Mexican salsa. Roll it up into a mass, then cover it with 3 fried eggs, and then drizzle a little maple syrup on it - just a hint. Serve with a side of bacon, a side of hashed browns, and a dollop of guacamole and sour cream. I call it the “good morning buritto.”

I have a strong and carefully-considered opinion on this matter, which I will share as soon as I know the hell the OP is talking about.

Who cares about the OP - this sounds delicious! I’m glad I came into this thread just for this post!

Nope, I’m afraid you’d better stick to Cheerios.

Without milk.
