Come take a seat at our banquet of historical bad rations! We have constipation biscuits for those who are not too hungry, omelet Play-Doh for breakfast. Don't worry, we have plenty of Civil War-era coffee too, it's even edible! For our regulars, we have our menu changed each century. Our lunch mains today being beef with maggot spaghetti, stew that will rumble in your tummy happily for weeks, and cooked beef that'll even make your dog drool. We have plenty of nutrient-dense drinks. Pick your choice from either horse blood OR fermented horse milk!
