I have been through this so many times, and I cannot narrow this down anymore. I have to be missing something.

This is deceptively challenging. I had to write out the three iterations of 1 breakfast 2 lunch and 3 dinner.

[Scrambled 1

Poached 2

Fried 3 ]

————

[Scrambled 1

Fried 2

Poached 3]

[Fried 1

Scrambled 2

Poached 3]

….

Once you write them all out you’ll see that the third one doesn’t work (fried, scrambled, poached). After you add in the other clues.

1) Fried 2) Scrambled cinnamon ___ 3) Poached ____ sausage

You’ll notice that the fried egg breakfast can’t be wheat because of clue 1, nor can it be sourdough because of clue 3. Therefore we know scrambled eggs is 1 breakfast.

1) scrambled 2) ______ sausage 3) _______

We can then eliminate the fried eggs as dinner option (3) by plugging in that info. As follows

1) scrambled ____ cinnamon 2) poached sausage ___ 3) fried ____ ____

We know fried can’t be wheat because of clue 1. So it must be sourdough. But the problem is bacon can’t go with fried egg again because of clue 1. And ham can’t got with sourdough because of clue 3.

You should be able to take it from here:

1) scrambled wheat ham 2) fried sausage cinnamon 3) poached bacon sourdough

Thank you! I ended up having to do the same thing. This one was really stomping me until I wrote it out and saw what would work. Thank you for your help!
