* From the same chapter: [[South Park|Tenorman's family chili]] and [[Soylent Green|green lentil soup]] (served with [[A Glass of Chianti|a glass of]] ''[[The Silence of the Lambs|Chianti]]'', natch).

''And'' the world "melon", which sounds like the elvish word for "friend". ''And'' swordfish, as a reference to the Marx brothers (because [[The Password Is Always Swordfish]]). The [[Tom Lehrer]] reference is also a callback to Harry quoting the song to explain why needs to be [[Crazy Prepared]] to McGonagall in chapter 6 (see also [[Second Verse Curse]] below).
