I got a ‘secret Santa’ present from one of my friends in the US – three boxes containing what looks like a full southern breakfast. Grits, red beans, coffee, Hershey’s chocolate syrup (presumably for hot chocolate?), and a copy of Bill Bryson’s “I’m a Stranger Here Myself”.

The third box was labelled for customs purposes as ‘cologne’ and ‘presidential souvenirs’, which turned out to be a bottle of Southern Comfort and several Cuban cigars, lending a particularly nice touch to this truly decadent breakfast.
