Disgusting badger artery with lemon preserve ailing on top of adulterated
gnats and crocodile innards seasoning, arranged in a cooling pot containing
well-done bamboo, lifeless bits of live mosquito larvae and bone with
croutons of crustacean, octopus juice, a side of olives and a glass of
thick, syrupy, green snot.
