Standing rib Christ
Roast loin of Christ

Baked Christ in red wine sauce

Stuffed shoulder of Christ
Christ noodle casserole
Marinated haunch of Christ
Broiled Christ in bone marrow sauce
Christ tongue sautéed in onions
Christ Newburg

Christ pot pie
Chipped Christ on toast
And
(for those fast food communicants among us)
Christ fingers in honey-mustard sauce.
No substitutions, please.
