I don’t have one, so if I ever get into a fight with a watermelon, I’ll probably be killed.

Teriyaki and bees? Or do you want to consider honey-mustard and bees.

Or maybe the lobster thermidor aux crevettes with a Mornay sauce garnished with truffle paté, brandy and with a fried egg on top and bees?

Ha! That was great. The best part is how he calmly opens it and stands there after each demonstration.
