“Fried onions, marmalade, maple syrup, bacon, tomatoes, covered with hot mayonnaise with some garlic fried in it and a little cheese sauce” is how David Amram assembled an omelette for Charlie Parker according to his 1968 book Vibrations. The pair “wolfed down portions of it” accompanied by borscht and orange soda.

And here I thought the description of Charlie Parker’s fried chicken predilection from Miles Davis’s memoir would retain the title for most disgusting description of something entering Bird’s mouth.
