The foodstuffs stored there form a community who believe that being eaten is their path to the hereafter, a reincarnation in the body of the person who ate them, the means of completing their life cycle and giving meaning to their all too brief existence. The salad (Rosemary) and the fish (Trout) decide to unite in a single dish that will lead them to eternal love.
