Examples
“The menu options take a few moments to study, sprawled as they are on several chalkboards around the room: sharable platters of Cantal charcuterie served with cornichons (I am especially fond of the veal terrine called fricandeau) or well-aged farmhouse cheeses (Morbier, Cantal, Saint-Nectaire ...), copious salads (including a few vegetarian options), and a collection of bistro classics done right: a grilled steak with Roquefort sauce, and herb-roasted rack of lamb, or a duck confit, homemade and particularly tasty.”

yarb With submission to your better judgment, replied I, it would be expedient, at least so it strikes me, to get rid of that strange fellow, before he is informed of my intended match with Basil's daughter: a cook, as you are aware, is a dangerous rival. You are perfectly in the right, rejoined my trusty counsellor; we must clear the premises of him -- he shall receive his discharge from me to-morrow morning, before he puts a finger in the fricandeaus; thus you will have nothing more to fear either from his poisonous sauces or bewitching tongue.
