Reminds me of Pratchett and the adaptability of the Quirmians when muddy old boots were substituted for the original ingredients ... "... let's see ... Mousse de la Boue dans un Panier de la Pâte de Chaussures ..." (... I don't now if this was simply Pratchett's standard cynicism / semi-jaundiced take on humanity, as applied in a standard enough way to French restaurants, or more directly related. Pratchett did have an awfully wide range of knowledge and constantly expanded that knowledge with research while writing.) |

It’s Pratchett, so most probably a bit of each. Plus a healthy dose of piss taking.
As a side note, I would not use “cynicism” for Pratchett. Whilst there is some of it, cynicism has become associated with mindless reactionary contrarianism, which is very, very far from Pratchett’s general optimism.
