What am I eating here...?

[desperance]

Tonight's tea will be mashed potato, carrot and turnip, fried up with onion, garlic and chilli, mixed with chunks of ham and shredded cabbage, topped with a fried egg. Comfort food to the max. But can I call it a hash, or is it more a variant on bubble-and-squeak? Or...?

Um, what's to miss? You'd have to really work at it (can I has extra points for not being pompous and using "pellucid"?)--but I suppose some people read for other reasons than finding out what the author wanted to tell them.

Yup. Extra points always available for not using "pellucid" (it's a Roget's word, and I distrust it automatically).

But you'd be - well, not surprised, perhaps, but disappointed, by the number of people who say "Chaz, I read 'Shelter', but - well, can you tell me what happened...?"
