"'Surely you do not experiment on your patients, Stephen?' cried Jack.
'In course I do, just as you experiment with various sails or arrangements of sails, to see what suits a boat best. A boat does not have three mizzen topsails and a gaff written on its prow; and my patients do not have ipecacuanha tattooed on their foreheads. Of course I experiment. Experiment, forsooth.'" --Patrick O'Brian, Blue at the Mizzen, 89
Nah, anyone who's ever played The Curse of Monkey Island knows that all you need to make syrup of ipecac is an ipecac flower and a bottle of maple syrup. The two combine splendidly.
Well but, Lovelace, how the deuce wilt thou, with that full health and vigour of constitution, and with that bloom in thy face, make anybody believe thou art sick?
How!-- Why take a few grains of ipecacuanha; enough to make me retch like a fury.

Note to self: Never eat pancakes with uselessness. Behold the ipecac flower.
Wot, you can't make this out of a flesh-eating fish and a handful of acronyms?
