   Lunch was Nice;   
   Ominous alpaca entrails garnished with ghoulish stingray artery and goat   
   rectum topping with alarming intestine aside accursed vermin innards   
   accompanied by atrocious carbuncle on top of contemptible ferret gizzard   
   accentuated with outrageous wolverine genitalia with apple sauce, cooked   
   in a splashing double boiler chock full of well-done tomato, home-killed   
   pieces of snail and chunks of fish, flavoured water, a side of chocolate   
   and a litre of pond scum.
