Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

You can have em. Carrots should not be grey. Meat? Should never be grey.
My people? Lousy cooks.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just try and avoid cabbage (easy enough in Jamaican food) and corned beef (less so, but we had a low sodium household).
