And bannock goes better with Blue Bonnet on it.

One does indeed, and any course of action that
deemphasizes perishable green vegetables is my
kind of action.

Ah, of course, hasty but understandable.

Fresh fresh meat has its charm, especially if
you still have your teeth.

I add elderly crumbs hoarded in the fridge for
that purpose, and for dearth of those, quick
oats, but prefer in general to make meatballs, 
which cook quicker and more evenly and don't ask 
for ketchup. Lots of onions, too, of course, 
either very fine or prewilted in butter or bacon.

I'd have thought that too strong.

Be aware, grasshopper, that it takes many minutes 
of training to become a burger meat Jedi.
