Perhaps the stew was a bit chewy. Or maybe someone heard mewing at night.

As a teenager, I remember coming home stoned late one night. I heated up a small piece of leftover steak from the frig. It tasted different to me. In my paranoid state I convinced myself it had to be venison or some other revolting exotic meat, which was never in our house.

Embarrassingly, later I found out it was typical steak simply marinaded in teriyaki seasoning.
