I think that may be the breakfast he had on launch day. I read the book that Michael Collins wrote (highly recommended) and what's on that plate matches my memory.

Looking at it, I might try to make this breakfast for dinner this week...

Carrying the Fire! Awesome book - I read it a few years ago. Collins always added a wonderful perspective.
