"They don't go in for the fancy or exotic, but stick to conventional food like flightless bird embryos, minced organs in intestine skins, slices of hog flesh and burnt ground grass seeds dipped in animal fats; or, as it is known in their patois, egg, sausage, bacon and a fried slice of toast." (about clients of The Mended Drum)
I'd rather go to The Big Cabbage for their Cabbage Special... I'm so bored with life that i started reading Terry Pratchett :-( I don't what to imagine what made you read Joyce...

We have two cats, one when watching TV together, the other that keeps me company in the silence of my lonely room. In the roaring traffic's boom.
