pike in athenians blight
utmost of chicken as Hungarian bowels in spit
young partridge over sofa a half cock of the countrywoman
wery stronk beer saints bones
children sandwiches nestcafe
arm of a gypsy French likers
blandy mar tartars
beef roots jerked meat (this one is real!)
fumigated sausage zingarakewers
curled milka sleep shrimp nets
hen blood stew slop brandy
zin bluberlips suckling pin lambent rails
friend milk lamb shops buttrepishes strange cheese

that list looks like a translator's dream (or nightmare). Some are just
typos methinks. (Suckling Pig)
I like beef strongenuff, that's a hoot!

"scrap-heap eggs" isn't that far off from "garbage omelette", which I've seen
on menus here for an omlette with lots of stuff in it.
