Grocery Receipt Poetry

When you buy something in the store, you get a receipt. The idea is to have poetry on the backside of the receipt.

The simple version could be just to have pre-printed receipt rolls with "poetry of the day", or maybe short philosophical musings. This might very well be baked.

The more advanced version is to print poetry on the fly on the back of the recipe. This could be tailored to the purchase at hand.

If you buy onions, you might get

"There is in every cook's opinion
No savoury dish without an onion:
But lest your kissing should be spoiled
The onion must be thoroughly boiled"
- Jonathan Swift

If you buy lasagna:

"He who looks at magnitude
Is often mistaken.
A grain of pepper conquers
Lasagna with its strength."
- Iacopone da Todi

For the clever merchant, the poetry could instill temptation to further purchases (in the lasagna example, a customer might be tempted to buy pepper, if now pepper wasn't so common in most kitchens)
