Eatiquette

would you really think it a grotesque crime if served a plate of deep-fried slime and too, be thought to be unusually cruel to be offered a glass of seltzered gruel famished you go to the fridge and grab a rusted rack of horseshoe crabs you have some leftover meat seldom seen don't serve it up as goulash ice cream you see, it matters the names we ingest not many desire a soup of bird's nest yet some sticks stuck to your avian ribs sounds more appetizing than some ol' goats kids so if your aperitive desires a full satiation don't call a burger a "lean, finely-textured vegetation" © Goode Guy 2012-04-13 how many of you just begin to salivate when i say the words "pink slime"?
