diapephradizing

Updated: May 14, 2025

There my guide led me into a large room, where a great many peasants were eating soup with macaroni in it, and some few, meat. But I was too exhausted to eat meat, so I supped up my broth and then began diapephradizing on my fingers to show the great innkeeper what I wanted. I first pulled up the macaroni out of the dish, and said, Fromagio, Pommodoro, by which I meant cheese tomato.
