Although the mushed eggs of "Breakfast" can both sigify an intermediary state between fluid and solid and the "mushy" sentimentality inherent in the use of culinary metaphors to convey sexual relationships, the anachronistic "stomacher" (the ornamentend triangular section of the bodice covering the stomach or chest, worn by both sexes until the eighteenth century), added to the symbolic transformation of the simple egg cup into a white "wedding cup," considers the physical and cultural limits and "regulations" imposed upon eating body by clothing and convention. The salmon evokes the "shocking pink" of female genitalia, and Stein's innuendo-saturated description refuses to seperate the tongue from the flesh, or the lips from the cup, in a gesture that combines the pleasure of gustative pleasure and oral sex.
