    Ahem!, claims like this are more for Auxlang not Conlang...
besides DiLingo (a conlang that has no pretensions
of being an Auxlang) is much more funny :P~ and it makes more

    Granola "wet POWDER food" 0_o? Have you eaten granola lately?
Well that's been too bleedin' long ;)

    Wonderful!, sacre bleu!, but what in the hell are tacos and taco salads
o_o?
Or sweet buns or jelly-filled donuts?
    What would you call curry in this language of yours?
Or bird's nest soup? Or shark's fin soup? Or chocolate-covered
ants? or honey-roasted piranha?
    Are there different terms for frozen yogurt, ice cream and
gelato?
    (Eek!, is my food-obsessed Cantonese side of my personality showing?)
