[hometext] => Based on a Graham Masterton book where members of a religious sect give up their bodies to be eaten by their religious masters.
[bodytext] => Chateau de le Morte The menu arrives, leather bound. Guests, diners – anticipation, no sound. Calligraphy – Gothic, beautiful but no prices. No description of cooking, colouring or spices. Where the hell on Earth are we now? Chateau de la Morte, not healthy at best. Gives a kick to the soul, a bite and a zest For forbidden desires to those without soul Who lay their life down on a hot bed of coal To satisfy the craving that they need. Fillets mignons, not the best British beef Yet sliced, diced and fried by the restaurant chief. A mysterious man, a gourmand, a sage Who pays his staff an unholy wage To keep the front of house firmly on the inside. The starter arrives, aromatic and heady. Diners strain at the leash, primed and now ready For the thinly sliced meat with a damnable relish Which to most would mean eat and ultimately perish. The meat is forbidden but not by the law. Dishes comprise if sinistral servants Who give up their bodies in religious observance. Man, the body of Christ should be shared By those who love God, their judgement impaired. Their view of the Bible, their menu, their credo.
