Assemble at Moniack Mhor;
check you have the necessary ingredients:
16 fledgling homines sapientes poetici;
make sure of a good mix of male and female specimens
(for best fermentation and full flavour)
choose some younger ones for hot, peppery, spice,
some oldies for mellow, sometimes bitter, taste.
Mix and marinate for five days,
stirring frequently,
especially if mixture tends not to blend.
Make sure you've got the best Chefs
drawing the essential juices from poetic fledglings
through stirring, egging on, paring.
On fifth day place mix in large saucepan,
bring to boil, then simmer for three hours.
Finally serve in a anthology - enjoy
