From "The Merry Widow" (Our Flag Means Death, Frenchie/Izzy):
The house was a small, grey-shingled thing leaning at a windswept angle at the top of the cliffs. It was also an unquestionable waste of money. There was no sense in taking a whole house for only three days, not when you could likely get a room in town for half the price.

"Barbecued 'meat'?" Elaine asked, making air quotes. "They weren't any more specific than that?"
"I'm not sure they can be, by law."
(nb: the town in question has not, in fact, been sacked, pillaged, or even marauded a little.)
