Example orders:
A frazzled serving wench calls to the grumpy ogre cook: “Dwarf on a hoard, hold the diamonds; two halflings on a dragon hunt; bag of gold, hold the snow; and elf tips in trouble!”
In minutes, the customer receives a loaded baked potato without salt, two fried eggs on toast, fried dumplings without powdered sugar, and a steaming mug of mint leaf tea.
Soon, she calls out again: “Bear in a cave; two halflings in armor and another in bed with rubies and an extra blanket!”
This customer receives a sausage patty with gravy, two boiled eggs, and an omelet with bacon and extra cheese.
