Of course, any discussion of food and GR would have to include, I would
think, a look at the gastronomical grotesqueries of the alliterative
word game played by Pig Bodine and Roger Mexico (see pg 715 Penguin).
And, not to delve too deeply into this, one might think of the
importance of the breakdown of food through the digestive track and the
prevalence of toilets (the Tranvestite's Toilet episode, the Toiletship,
the Roseland Ballroom bathroom and even Gen'l Brigadier's source of
nourishment....)
