Sure, particularly a Gyromitra esculenta sauce with meat or salmon even. And prepared properly, as it's extremely poisonous. Boletus edulis (porcini) too. Both from the wild, not shops, mind you.Quote:

The word 'hella'?
Oh, definitely the word 'hella' - it's a word for a kitchen stove in Finnish ;)
Not that keen on the English word, but it has its place in the vernacular.
The word 'anfractuous'?
Ha! I know that word! But only because Proust (that is, the translators) has used it twice so far. Yes, I like it.
The word perlocutionary?
aye.
doing "quote marks" with your hands. (someone has to admit liking it, because many people do it).
E: Not a fan of doing quotation mark gestures. One can suggest that with alteration of tone, or using words.
Aye, and I've seen it before, and the roots are familiar. Had to check the meaning, though.
The word timesome? (yes, it is a word)
Aye, cutely quaint feeling, once I looked up the meaning.
Noam Chomsky?
Not too familiar with Chomsky's linguistic theory, but aye.
piaffe, v.?
Nay, looks silly.

Trainspotting?
Nay, boring.

The movie isn't that boring, though.Quote:

Aurelius' Meditations?
