I have thoughts about this lunch.
It is not a slop. This food has defined edges. A beginning, an end, and possibly a texture in between.
That toast looks suspiciously like untoasted toast, i.e. bread.
Horseradish butter, leek and fried finely sliced mushrooms sounds decent. Surprising.
Beetroot-pickled mackerel, because she always has to add the weird ingredient. Jack logic says ''if it's not going to reek, what's the point of it? This bungalow will always smell like an aquarium. That'll do.''
AND the most pressing question - why is she using my grandparents' knife?

It's been a long while since I thought about this, but as soon as I read this my brain recited "the bromelain in tinned pineapple is denatured". Clearly I'm still haunted by this incident.
It's like one of those school assembly hymns that you always remember.
