Eggs Benedict

com Mimosa, please!

Eggs Benedict is a brunch classic, thought to be invented in the 19th century in a New York hotel, involving English muffins, Canadian bacon, poached eggs, and hollandaise sauce. There are conflicting stories about its origin, which both involve families named Benedict.. The first story is that, in the 1860s, a Mrs. LeGrand Benedict came up with the dish because she was bored with the lunch menu at the Delmonico. The other story is that, around 30 years later, a hung-over banker named Lemuel Benedict requested essentially the same thing one morning at the Waldorf-Astoria.

Gosto mais da 2ª versão, mas o que interessa mesmo é que a origem não engana.
