A review of the café, printed in the local paper. The pasta arrived at our table scalding, so we tucked in at once. The waiter was irate as he talked us through the specials. My companion, who is not easily impressed, called the tiramisu adequate, which, from her, is high praise indeed. The bread basket, with two warm rolls each, was gargantuan and the coffee was benevolent. We shall return.
One odd-looking choice is deliberate and correct. Leave it.

I improved the menu with a thesaurus. Our soup is scalding and our staff are irate. Stronger words are better words, no?

Tell him why nobody will order the soup.
