Served at ‘Hiroshima’, Frederick Vorms’s auzgezeichneter restaurant in Salzburg.  Ze calf is killed when it is one week old – until zen it is only fed ze finest Spanish mackerel und yellowtail from Nobu.  From the moment it is born til ze moment it dies, it has its own DJ zat plays it a selection of chillaus music.   …It is killed not by electrocution or in ze Judisher vay, but by being smothered mit a silk pillow.

It’s funny because German is a silly language.  Unlike Bulgarian.  One time someone told me a joke in Bulgarian and I got so depressed I actually killed myself.
