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.

Indeed, and "elan" means dash or vivacity.
Over to you.

Hmmmm. There aren't all that many named knights in Tolkien's world, and none of them seem to have bits of flower name (or of the word flower) in them.
Hey! "By the gate" wasn't there before!

Well, knowing Mithalwen, a flower never refers to a daisy or dandylion. So trying it the other way...
SIRANNON Sir=knight Ann=lady on=atop flower by the gate=straight clue.
