Lemon and sugar were resoundingly popular: "Especially on pancake day - I can work my way through many sugar and lemons, but if you throw a Nutella and banana in the mix or something then it's game over".

Lox with capers represents the classic bagel with cream cheese combination, where the creaminess of the cheese and the fattiness of the lox create an indulgent breakfast. Capers add essential umami saltiness and acidity to balance the richness of the dish. Without them, the flavors could overwhelm the palate, making the experience less enjoyable. This combination serves as a reminder of why certain pairings endure; they enhance and elevate each other beautifully.

"My preference to assemble a barbecue bacon burger is starting with your mayo and mustard on the bun, then your lettuce, tomato, pickle, and onion. This way, the juice of the meat doesn't make the bun soggy."

Beyond the brown sugar, you can flavor the bananas with spices that further bring out their depth. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves add a warm, earthy layer of flavor to the fruit while also highlighting its sweetness.
