Hannibals Restaurant

To begin how about a nice glass of wine
to accompany your meal ?

May i suggest a nice Chianti perhaps ?

To go with your vegetable bean salad starter

I must admit everything looks so good really appetizing

Hard to know exactly where to start

I'm not even sure what half of
these dishes are 

They aren't labeled and don't look
like anything i have seen before

This is a fine dinning experience all will be revealed once your meal is completed

If you were to be told exactly what you are eating subliminally you may be put off

So Bon Appetite sit back relax and enjoy 

And may i take this opportunity to
introduce myself as i will be both your chef and waiter for this evening

My name is Lector

Welcome to 
Carnivores @ Hannibals
Old friend dinner

Chilling stuff when you know the real context behind this, imagine feeding someone their own brains for dinner, and we look at them as an antihero of sorts, cheers David

Yes indeedy David. You think its done fir effect but i bet in reality it could actually be done. Brain surgery is done whilst the patient is fully lucid or awake
