Drinks

6. Salt-Stirred Mimosa with Mikalel Salt

The orange is mixed with the champagne in an exquisite blend that delights the taste buds and nostrils with their little bubbles sure to delight all those who partake. However, this is a drink of reflection. The Mikalel salt on the rim is sure to make even the most jovial among us close their eyes to hold back the tears. The intense melancholy one experiences will surely shape the rest of the meal to come and forces the drinker to think long and hard about the existence and purpose of their next meal. 

Appetizers

4. Shoreline Rice with Mightwen

When combined with the Mimosa it's almost impossible not to take the mimic at its word when it speaks of its "fallen brethren". But the waitstaff, adequately trained, will be sure to warn you that it is merely a defense mechanism that is meant to resemble human speech, and the meaning will sound the same no matter the language of the diner. 

Its flesh still tingles with what little electricity it has left in the smoked flesh which adds a pleasant sting to the tongue and throat. The smoke brings out the delicate flavors. 

Main Course

6. Burger Sapiensade Meat 

Beef, beans, and Mightwen are offered as a substitute but nothing compares to the delectable, moist and flavorful meat of the Sapiensade. Cooked to perfect, it will melt in your mouth like butter and coat the insides of your mouth in a pleasant numbness. The Mikalel salt was still in full effect and I  wept as I thought of all of those lost to these creatures. But I took joy in every bite knowing full well that we were on the cusp of victory. It almost felt like my duty to continue to consume the meal. 

Unfortunately for this critic, I did began to hear the cries of the heralds, and had to have a waitstaff stand by my side as I finished the meal. Fortunately nothing came of the operation and I was able to finish my meal to completion. 

Desserts

1. Seaside Salted Caramels Mikalel Salt

An added dose of the Mikalel salt to bring the evening to a close is just what the diner needs when considering the cost of the meal they ingested. The waitstaff once again will warn patrons not to consider the "feelings" of the fish ingested, and very sternly remind them it is merely the salt that makes one think they are capable of thought and emotion as people are. 

The salt adds a much needed tang to what would otherwise be an overwhelming sweetness of the pieces. Three pieces is the recommended amount for the average adult.
