What diabolical derring-do possessed the chef to conjure up such an unlikely pairing of ingredients I will never know, but by Jove it works splendidly. Crisp outside soft within french toast acts as the perfect sponge as you gleefully mix warm oozy yolk , sausage-y tasting cookie crumb and cool, salty ice cream together. The striking contrasts between sweet and savoury, hot and cold, yet managing to be complementary at the same time, are in my mind, what makes this dish unique and successful. I can't wait to go back on my next trip to Melbourne.
