If you want to end your meal, you can order a Bosphorus lokum (Turkish delight) for a shockingly low $3.95. If you don’t know what Turkish delight is, it is basically a candy bar made of sugar and gum that you can neither bite nor swallow. It is also quite likely to give you a toothache.
Well, now we can't take anything this reviewer says at face value because that is not at all an accurate description of turkish delight.

Maybe she was just describing that particular restaurant's version of Turkish delight

how do you put toppings on bread like that, how do you put jam or butter on air. Disgraceful.
I know a very fancy bakery that does bread like that, it's not an easy task but I guarantee you that that bread is loving amazing. I can never go back to regular bread. If I ever move I'm kidnapping all the bakers.

each Baker's chocolate square is an ounce by weight and they're individually wrapped. it's the standard unsweetened baking chocolate in the US, one of those things that'll be familiar to anybody who bakes. you're not wrong about it being a better idea to include a more standard measurement, but the company has apparently been around for 250 years. it's not entirely different from saying "a stick of butter" rather than "4 ounces of butter".

Hershey's powder: my grandmother used to make cocoa from scratch, and it's something I do for my kids now. the recipe on the side of the box works, but I usually halve the sugar. the secret to getting it smoothly integrated into anything is to dissolve it in a little boiling water first.

I also tried to eat both of these things when I was a kid. I do not recommend it.

I ran out of coffee and tea one unfortunate day and made a hot water + cocoa powder drink. It wasn't bad but I wouldn't really recommend it except in similar circumstances.

The better devils breakfast is to mix cocoa into your old fashioned oats.

Actually based on the date of that review I'm wondering if she had Covid and didn't know it. My partner and I lost our sense of taste early March before the disease was officially widespread in the city.

gahhhhh, that sucks.

I was a little surprised at the date, too. I wondered about the lead time on the article, but I don't imagine it would've been terribly long

someone should do an analysis similar to the candle reviews one and see how food reviews during covid mention flavorless, etc.

Mr Leopold Bloom ate with relish the inner organs of beasts and fowls. He liked thick giblet soup, nutty gizzards, a stuffed roast heart, liverslices fried with crustcrumbs, fried hencods' roes. Most of all he liked grilled mutton kidneys which gave to his palate a fine tang of faintly scented urine.

I'm assuming it's some kind of "you thought you were ordering eggs but you were BETRAYED" kind of thing? Idk I'm getting nowhere with this

Back to trying to decide whether it's worth it to take that demon Tom meme from upthread and paste in "units of measurement such as breakfastcup and dessertspoon and nut"

i assume they consider it a benedict because it consists of "Bread > Meat > Egg > Sauce" and skipped any and all specifics beyond that

I'd definitely eat it but I think the egg would mostly just get lost in all the sausage and gravy flavor. It'd be like adding an egg to a burger. I don't really notice the flavor, it just adds yet another slippery element that might go shooting out the back of it when you pick it up and take a bite.
