Lunch was nice;

Microwaved worm bladder with anus dressing putrescent inside contaminated
syphilis scabs and clove sauce decomposing aside ghastly clydesdale skin
with chive topping, dished up in a bubbling skillet heaped with rare cooked
tomato, minced morsels of calamari, snot, a side of chocolate and a gallon
of head louse offal broth.
