Even I have seen Collins fruitcakes! I think my mom used to love those! She also used to make some but we kids would not touch them...
There is a restaurant in New Orleans that serves dessert after breakfast. It’s the same restaurant that had my favorite pirate painting from childhood actually on their wall. I was stunned to see a painting I loved in a pirate book at age 7 (for the scary shivers the painting gave me) right there unexpectedly in a restaurant lobby. And we had some kind of flambé bananas for dessert after breakfast there.
Banana dessert for breakfast. Reminder of Bill Cosby routine when he gave the children chocolate cake for breakfast: milk, eggs, flour, butter (long before his current downfall)
Banana Flambe or Bananas Foster probably served in NOLA
As close as NO is to us, have never actually seen the city. Driving thru the bright lights on the way to ‘elsewhere’ is as close as it gets.
Cajun cooking = good eats!
Dessert after breakfast? That sounds like Brennan’s in New Orleans. They have a three or four course brunch/breakfast that ends with Banana’s Foster or Strawberries Romanoff. I LOVE that place! My favorite was the Eggs Sardou. Poached eggs on an artichoke heart bottom with creamed spinach and topped with Hollandaise. The starter was baked apple with double cream. Add that good French bread and Cafe’ au Lait. You didn’t need to eat the rest of the day.
