Seriously. All of it reprinted here exactly as it appears on the menu, including "???" following "cabbage with."

Any time I feel bad at work I'm going to look at this list. It has enormous healing properties. I think it may be my new favorite poem.

I'm kind of interested in the "paste circles"?! Is that a way to dress up the paste we all ate in kindergarten?!
