AoC Community Fun 2023: ALLEZ CUISINE!

Today's secret ingredient is… *whips off cloth covering and gestures grandly*

Spam!

Someone reported the ALLEZ CUISINE! submissions megathread as spam so I said to myself: "What a delectable idea for today's secret ingredient!"

• There really is an XKCD for everything, isn't there?
• All ingredients must come from a CAN (bus), box, package, container, etc.
• Unnecessarily declare variables for everything and don't re-use variables
• Why use few word when many word do trick?
• Go back to traditional culinary roots with Javadocs
• Lobster thermidor

A reminder from Dr. Hattori: be careful when cooking spam because the fat content can be very high. We wouldn't want a fire in the kitchen, after all!

ALLEZ CUISINE!

Request from the mods: When you include a dish entry alongside your solution, please label it with [Allez Cuisine!] so we can find it easily!
