(hoping this satisfies the wordies and the recipe-exchangers alike)

Faldage's phonetic musings elsewhere have inspired me to post a synęsthetic challenge: menus based on description of language - phonetics, structure, whatever puns well!

As a start:

main dish: chicken fricative
dessert: consonant clusters

Dear Goddess, Caraweighed is whata you do whena stepping on a scale, sesa me.

Oy, I feel so outclassed here - you probably own a cook book, a spice rack, and - and - an autographed photo of James Beard. But, hey, I really don't carrot all! I won't tread ginger-ly! No, I'll give you as much sass-afrass as I can!
