Buckwheat kasha, you won't find it even in a Slavic restaurant. It is a simple dish of cooked buckwheat and milk, with sugar added if one desires. Such a simple breakfast dish is sold nowhere to my knowledge.

It sounds like chinese congee, but with wheat instead of rice
I've never had buckwheat that wouldn't have funky smell/aftertaste. It just weird all the time. Probably trying wrong brand or IDK. I'm slavic so my ancestors ate shitton of buckwheat, though it was almost non existent in my childhood. And now it's weird ingredient I'm scared of :-D
The bed!
Peanut butter toast
Batmobiles. Lots of companies sell Batmobile toys, no companies sell Batmobiles.
Coffee. I used to be a coffee fiend, I drank up to 12-13 cups a day, and only stopped because it was worsening my anxiety. I live in a coffee producing country and learnt how to make a good cup in an espresso machine, even got all the doodads to make the process standardized and get the exact same cup every time.
I can only drink coffee made by select hands now. Everything else tastes like jet fuel, and it's worse when travelling.
That sounds like an intense relationship you have with coffee. I have to admit, 2-3 a day and I get palpatations and am unable to sleep. I rarely drink it for the flavour
Oh I needed it for college. I was impatient and pushed myself too hard during my last 2 years, some weeks I slept fewer than 10 hours collectively.
I've since cut it almost entirely, and because of that my usual cup gives me the jitters. I still love coffee and would like nothing more than having one in the morning and one in the afternoon, but my body can't take it anymore (nor can my mental health honestly). Aging sucks, lol.
I make sure to never get attached to one brew so I can drink it anywhere, anytime. I'll drink instant without hot water if I need to (and not just frappe.)
That's... Probably not a bad idea, lol. I got too used to good things.
Food I want to eat
Vegemite and raspberry jam (โjellyโ) on toast. Probably works on crumpets too.
Vegemite
Listen here you little shit...
I believe the correct vernacular is "Oi Cunt!".
Brother, we have all of those ingredients everywhere. We have a little British store run by expats who could get whatever packaged crumpet you use. Shit, I can make a batch of crumpets in about 15 minutes.
It's not like a crazy recipe that needs balanced flavors to be done right. Like I've never had a good poutine outside of Quebec. It's always sad beige gravy with the wrong seasonings or mozzarella or frozen fries or all of the above. It is never right.
What we can also talk about is local places making local dishes but they do it wrong and cheap or "good enough" and people come from abroad and try the dishes and think they're mid because they went to the wrong place.
TL;DR: I love poutine.
/Rant
I had poutine at random place in Edinburgh which a Canadian friend said was the best poutine he'd had outside of Quebec. "Still shit though", in comparison to in Quebec
While you can go to a restaraunt/cafe and buy pancakes. I havent found a premade packet version that just needs warming up that isnt absolute shit.
Give me fresh or give me death!
Children.
My second kid was made at a Great Wolf Lodge in Sandusky, OH.
It sounds like it was quite the effort
Technically... you could buy them premade
You don't need to be at home to make them; it's just more socially acceptable than in a cafe.
This question is very regional, so I could list a ton of things. For instance since I'm not in the UK, crumpets would be on my list (send me some please).
Stuffing and mashed potatoes.
Most places have their stuffing way to moist. I want stuffing, not bread that looks like it was dropped in water. Boxed stuffing shouldn't even be sold. It tastes like garbage.
Get some bread. Tear it up. Let it dry. Add some chicken broth. Add some seasoning. That means go to store and buy the different seasonings. Like garlic powder. Sage, thyme, etc.
Then put it on the oven. The moisture comes from gravy.
Mashed potatoes... Yeah most times people add way to much to the mashed potatoes.
Edit and for the gravy that means you make a chicken or a turkey you get the broth and you make the gravy.
Avocado shake, at least in the western world. Unless you come across one at an asian shake/milktea shop, and even then, that menu item is rare.
How do you make it?
Shake an avocado till it's ready
But you have to ask it nicely first
What is this defined as? I feel like we have them here, but they're more like smoothies so I'm guessing this is different?
