Take all ingredients; place them carefully as you would in a game of chess. Stir confidently and intently. Bake in World Trade Building ovens at 3,500 degrees for two months. Remove from oven and place on a cooling rack. Cut into serving pieces and force-feed them down American throats. Never reveal the secret ingredients.
Caution: Many of the ingredients can cause adverse reactions. If you should experience adverse reactions, insist on an immediate antidote... Impeachment!
