#meat cw

Rare meat so good when you aint got a bitch in your ear tellin you its nasty /ref

What do I mean when I tag something with 𓍉? Why use Gardiner sign U21, adze-on-block?

Wait, you know what an adze is, right? If you don’t, no worries!! (Psst!! Hey, everyone, get a load of this! The reader doesn’t even know what an adze is!!) It’s like an axe, but with the end rotated so it’s perpendicular to the handle. Used in woodworking, mostly, like planing and carving...

But an adze can cut up all kinds of stuff! And you can’t un-cut it. Time butchered, choice made. That’s entropy for ya. Adze-on-block 𓍉 is used in words about choosing, and about the results of that choice, good or bad; the choicest cut of meat, or something dismembered or ruined. All a matter of perspective, I guess! Does the cow agree with the butcher?

(It shows up most in cartouches, to mean “chosen of” a god.)

Cutting choking carving dismembering ruining choosing.

Selecting the choicest cut of meat.

(Didya notice these are all things you might do to someone you’re gonna eat?)

.......So, what’ll it be? The cellar or the circus? The basement or the maze? The tower or the screen? Together or apart? Corrupt or clean? Septic or sterile? Open or closed? Soup or salad? *You didn’t notice until now, but I’m standing by your chair with a notepad, taking your order.*

Y’know, you might think the digestive system is open, a tube we’re wrapped around, but all the muscle gates make it closed! *Leans on the table* Aanyway, wanna hear our specials?:

...The rest of this overdone post is some examples from the Mark Vygus dictionary. If you’re listening to this it probably won’t be great! The English words listed are: cut up (animal), cut off (limbs), pick out, choose, the choicest, pick, choice things (of food), choice, be dismembered, ruined, ruin, choke. Aaand now you can skip the below:

Had a craving for beef curry pastry (and bbq pork pastry!) today, but there was none to be had at any local bakeries. Found a shop off fantuan halfway across the city that would deliver them to me frozen though and they were. phenomenal.

I put the label in the cooker oops

I forgot to take a pic of the label but this one is "Shanghai Salted Pork" which is salted pork belly, and according to the store it's "typical Jiangsu style." It tastes like fermented soybeans, or soybean sauce (黃豆醬) or just dark soy is doing most of the flavouring and it...is not good.

More zongzi time!
