Mnemonic

And what has more flavor than a big slab of meat (み)? You love meat and its flavor nearly as much as you love the taste of its juice. So many good things to put in your mouth!

Hints

Of course, if you're vegetarian imagine the flavor of the meat being terrible. Up to you. Make the mnemonic work for your lifestyle.
