But she wouldn’t have trusted anyone else with explaining how the machinery works. No one else cared as much.
“This here’s the mincer. First you need to wet the sausage down. If it’s too dry, you might create friction. Then you need to insert it into the slot. If it doesn’t fit, don’t worry. Just keep pushing until it goes all the way in.”
“That’s what she said.”
