rolig commented on the word nutricious nutrias
Not really homophonic, but approaching it. Weirdly, this phrase crossed my mind as I was admiring the nutrias who congregate on the banks of the river near where I live. I have never tasted a nutria, though I used to own a hat, a shapka, actually, a wonderful and much loved shapka, made of nutria fur.

I have one, but given point 3 I had it desexed. And I could certainly never eat it. I'm proud of my newly-neutered non-nutricious nutria.
