After having another think, the answer could be AVO being short for Avocado Toast. I’ve only just thought of Smashed Avocado.

You’ve got it, Barnard!
Scrambled eggs - ova scrambled is avo, short for avocado, often “smashed” and served on toast.
Yummy, but I’ve got to be in the mood for it!

In favour of - for
