Yeah, I hate those brown belts. They frequently mean you work, and
that's always dangerous.


The closest I can say I came to having a foodie peerage ceremony is
having a Midrealm knight (Sir Emerich Wendel the Diversified) speak of
my prowess with sharp steel weapons being as great as or greater than
his own with blunt ones, and a scroll whose text was originally an
Apician sausage recipe, suitably altered.
