Mmmm… stale bagels that compliment me…
I myself prefer to opt for the full English breakfast, but I guess that wasn’t the question, was it?
I don’t know anything about complimental items but I had portmanteau once. That stuff is nasty. It gets under your teau-nail and everytyhing. I thought my foot was gonna fall off.
