"He liked thick giblet soup, nutty gizzards, a stuffed roast heart, liver slices fried with crustcrumbs, fried hencod's roes. Most of all he liked grilled mutton kidneys which gave to his palate a fine tang of faintly scented urine." -- James Joyce, Ulysses.
I love how Joyce can give such a high degree of specificity in only two sentences. I suppose that's part of what makes him James Joyce. It's interesting how through the reading of these sentences Joyce seemingly fills the mouth of the reader.
