Just tried this. It was good, but that's coming from a guy who eats some weird shit. Try it, pussy.

@vominator there was a similar dish consisting of stale unused bread and slightly sour milk mixed with sugar that was eaten by the poor of dublin ireland until about the 1960s. booze may have been involved.

the olde treasure island movie had a character eat this...smashed up bread with booze on it. I dont remember if it had sugar though. I think he called it "rum duck"

I tried this (without the brandy though), and it's actually not that bad.

Look at the way the poor guy lives. No wonder he goes NUTS at the end.

all that sugar cannot be helping his mental state either

breakfast of champions
It was the description of this scene in the screenplay that convinced Bernard Herrmann, who was reluctant at first, to write the score for this film. Of everything that happens in this movie, this was the one detail he found most interesting, the bread and brandy for breakfast. Go figure.

down on their luck folks came up with some interesting meals a long time ago and it wouldjn't surprise me if this was one of them. i know deniro made travis a man from the midwest, maybe he got the recipe from there.
