Youth is overrated.
You are old said his son and your teeth are not fit for anything tougher than suet.
Yet you finish the bird with the bones and the beak, pray how do you manage to do it?
When young, said his father, I took to the law and argued each case with my wife.
The muscular strength that that gave to my jaw has lasted the rest of my life.
(Caroll/Dodgson)
(I do hope eating loin of the beast is not a euphemism. I prefer the uses of orifices and appendages of the human frame to be determined according to evolution rather than sexual revolution. If the good Lord had intended us to smoke beef he would never have given us salmon).
