Glor taps his chin with his pencil, apparently deep in thought (although the depth of Glor's thought wouldn't come over most people's shoe soles).
"Yeah... Bit of a puzzler, that.
Bit. Of. A. Puzzler."
Glor writes.
Stewpid ?

The Friendly Flounder
The west of the Dock Ward is where you'll find the taverns; whereas the east is home to the staggerhome takeaway. The early morning streetsweepers' guild nod at your passing as they clean up puddles of vomit and spilt kebab.
The places here don't have menus. There are so many takeaways that you've already made your selection by choosing a door.
The inside of The Flounder smells of hot crispy fat and fresh vinegar. Old Wazoos are piled high on the countertop, ready to receive their fried goodness. Citizens had raised concerns about the Wazoo's toxic inks coming into contact with food, although most people agreed that if you ate that many takeaways, then coronary heart disease would get you long before Volo's cheap ink.

A jolly halfling stands on a box behind the counter. He wears a hairnet to advertise that
The Flounder Takes Hygiene Seriously. Methinks the hin doth protest too much.
"Mornin' chiefs. Takeout ~ 3 nibs. Eat-in ~ 5 nibs includes beaker of mild. Mild ~ 2 nibs."
The last part was included because the hin knew that nobody wanted advanced maths puzzles for breakfast.
