How tender are yours?

So good. Six stars. So many little bits I could point out...here are only a few:

So clean is a light that nearly all of it shows pearls and little ways.
~COLORED HATS

Please be the beef, please beef, pleasure is not wailing. Please beef, please be carved clear, please be a case of consideration.
~ROASTBEEF

A temptation any temptation is an exclamation if there are misdeeds and little bones.
~MUTTON

All along the tendency to deplore the absence of more has not been authorized. It comes to mean that with burning there is that pleasant state of stupefication. Then there is a way of earning a living. Who is a man.
~ROOMS


How, over the course of human history, did we survive so long without such morsels?
