The "Same Context" section for this word makes me feel like writing an impromptu poem.
Edit: Sorry, perhaps I meant that the Same Context section for this word seems like an impromptu poem.

The lesser-known, multifunctional quesadilla!
Mouth-wateringly unwholesome
A bone-forming croquette
A jealously-guarded untraditional potpie!
(You've also got 'masala' and 'satay' in this list,
But I have no idea what they are.)

ruzuzu commented on the word quesadilla
Is not the mounted liger's satay
a nontraditional common-stock potpie
compared to you, quesadilla?
Your lesser-known croquettishness
cannot hide your multifunctional delights!

yarb commented on the word quesadilla
Is not the mounted liger multifunctional? Satay,
mouth-watering, bone-forming enchiladas, gluten-free
masala, psychoactive potpies (guarded jealously),
unwholesome nontraditional croquettes - you've got to say,
though lesser-known, of common stock he definitely ain't
(and in the world of quesadillas he's a St.)
