Inspectors??

Seasoned with chest hair…

Watch out for that grass skirt near open flame!

Double double toil and trouble. Fire burn and cauldron bubble.

The obvious rats have been nailed. It’s the crafty ones who have yet to be exposed. It will come.

Dwarfs in Ankh-Morpork once became very angry — with axes, naturally — when they learned a certain restaurant was serving them fake rat meat (it was actually steak, of all things) because the proprietor couldn’t get his hands on enough real rats.

lesliepiper1: none of this investigation matters. the president will pardon anybody who holds the line and his pecker…

Strange how the busboys keep disappearing.

Seasoned with .. uh .. capers! Yeah, that’s it, capers.

There’s something fishy about this – and it’s not in the Bouillabaise, I can tell you that ! Traditional bouilabaise is a fish stew not a rodent *rat*atouille !

Puts me in mind of an episode of the old “Alfred Hitchcock Presents” TV series titled “The Specialty of the House”. Look it up and watch it, if you can. . .it’s delicious!

I’m impressed that only two of us found a way to twist this into politics (skipping the reply strings). I’m almost surprised that nobody’s gone racist. Maybe we should get back to yesterday’s cave?

I’ll just have a pastrami on rye thank you.

ratatouille, anyone?

“Fried green tomatoes” this shore is good babque ma’am!“auh huh- the secrets in the sause”(misspellings intentional) grin

John Spartan: (Bites into the burger) This is fantastic! You gotta try this. Huxley: Just don’t ask them where the meat comes from. John Spartan: Huxley, what’s that supposed to mean? Huxley: Do you see any cows around here, detective?

It’s a cookbook! (To Serve Man)
