Another challenge for the World Wide Recipes Groan-O-Meter from
"JHillHome": :

Two robins were lying on their backs basking in the sun. A mama cat
and her kitten were walking by. The kitten complained, "Mama, I'm so
hungry, what can we eat?" To which the mama cat, spying the two
robins, replied, "How about some Baskin Robbins?"

Today's Tribute to James Beard recipe combines two flavors (flavours)
which I am sure you will savor (savour).
