Apparantly my previous post was written in ignorance. I have since found out that Zandra was not saying nonsense words to us, but rather speaking in a peculiar language called foodtongue. This language, which I happened to stumble upon, was invented by people at Mathcamp and has a vocabulary entirely of food words. If this isn't confusing enough, I found that it is very difficult to find out the meaning of a phrase, for instance, "Banana 'apple lobster' grass chocolate"* because one of the principles of foodtongue is that it should not be explained in any language other than foodtongue.
Fortunately, I was able to decipher some words by carefully watching a video of people speaking foodtongue with English subtitles. Now, I'm attempting to read the foodtongue dictionary, which defines all the words in foodtongue. Needless to say, this is a very difficult task. Maize green pepper apple tofu stew tongue-slice fish foodtongue.
*In my previous post I left out the word apple by mistake.

I don't like your word choice in the last line - I would replace 'tofu' with 'sauce,' although I don't technically know the word for know.
