Stealthyfoods

Created by: Nosila

Pronunciation: stel thee foods

Sentence: Madge was a big fan of stealthyfoods. You know, the kind you'd have to sneak so as not to seem gluttonous.

She believed in getting her money's worth and to her the garnishes were the tastiest part of the dish. People stared, but she didn't care. Her only concern was whether she could afford the rest of the dish. Afterall, wouldn't she hate to get her celery garnisheed???

Etymology: stealthy (avoiding detection by moving carefully) & foods (any substance that can be metabolized by an organism to give energy and build tissue) & rhymes with Healthy Foods (nutritious diet)
