I suppose the second breakfast is bacon and eggs, then.

I like the "twice the one" clue - very clever. Your clue kind of mixes culinary hobbitlore, culinary filmlore and culinary real world lore!

I think it may also win an award for the longest cryptic clue ever published! More like a riddle. Very good, though.

Galadriel, it was your list of foods that triggered the answer for me, and I'm sure if you'd been online at the time you'd have got it. But anyway, here's the next cryptic clue:

Bloom with the vivacity of French gold.
