MM:
If leeks are similar to onions, I would probably like them, too. Are
they, Lyra?

Regarding the Welsh pie, it reminds me of what Christ reportedly
said. I think he said to eat bread, as if it were his body, and to
drink wine as if it were his blood. Something like that. In other
words, the anagram is cryptic or symbolic. We become one with the
Master. That's the goal for the sincere seekers.

Thanks, Lyra, for an interesting post on those anagrams and the
recipe.
