It was an unexpected blow, because, frankly, who could expect that I am an elastic, scandalously proportional to the hot dog – to lose against the seemingly inflexible spear of small, modest dumplings?

There are britical and gothborgs, as well as pickled cucumbers and a piece of pyapperoni pizza (which, I think, technically contains sausage).

I find out that at some point I will face a chrome metal sausage that looks like something from the deepest pit T-1000 Terminator Fan fiction. As soon as there are any instructions, there is tedious advertising, and when I open the game, it did not preserve my meager progress. And yet I am thirsty for more sausage.
