Now this is a culinary, literary journey... I feel like this could have been written by Falstaff. Love the images of 'the sharp sword of dawn' and the pimento/scornful eye in particular. Excellent stuff.

Thank you! And the word of the day today from Merriam-Webster was "vouchsafe," which it cited as being used 60 times in Shakespeare's works. Noted in the definition's notes: "'Vouchsafe me raiment, bed, and food,' King Lear begs his daughter Regan." Regan wasn't known to be much of a giver though...
