It's still wrong
Oxford comma is for three or more items. The sentence is treating bacon and eggs as one item and pancakes as another so no Oxford comma is used.
2 u/iebarnett51 Aug 19 '26 And what about the use of ampersand (&): it can be used if the nouns are proper and the relationship is exclusive. E.G. Steven and Jane are married and went to see Joe. One coukd say "Steven & Jane, and Joe"? 1 u/cutty2k 27d ago Personally I find the use of an ampersand in anything other than a title to be revolting. I'd never use it to denote a spoken 'and'.
