T-Rex: T-Rex presents The Periodic Table:
T-Rex: 42 MOLYBDENUM
T-Rex: A metal used to harden steel alloys. It has a significant biological role in fixing atmospheric nitrogen. Powdered molybdenum is used as a fertiliser for cauliflowers!
Utahraptor: I don't like cauliflower.
T-Rex: You might have a molybdenum deficiency then.
Utahraptor: What should I do?
T-Rex: Eat Mo Cauliflower!
T-Rex: Mo! Mo! Mo!

The author writes:

I actually like cauliflower. The best way to cook it is to coat it in breadcrumbs and deep fry it.
