Apart from the hole, that could be chicken on a raft, an old Royal Navy dish.

I think it's a very good idea, and I can't see any obvious disadvantages except, perhaps, the loss of posting and comment history from the currently existing communities.
Maybe also consider merging !foodporn@lemmy.world ? That one seems to be quite general too, and posts often become discussions of how to cook the showcased dish (plus I really dislike the name of the community).
I don't think I've come across that before, but I'd say it depends on what is meant:
- I don't know what that thing is.
- There is a thing, but I don't know what it is.
- There is a thing such that I don't know what it is. I.e., I do not know what all things are.
There may well be some other ones, but I don't know what they might be.
Yes, it is a famously polarizing taste, but a small amount in something hefty like a ragout adds umami without adding too much of the marmite flavour. I'm vegetarian, and find it's really handy for adding meatiness to such things.
If you try it and like it, do try marmite spaghetti.
Miso, Marmite, MSG, and Maggi are all good.
Not all at once, though.
I have a Xerox colour laser printer that I'm very happy with: accepts off-brand toner, speaks postscript, good quality printing, no problems at all. I've also been very happy with Brother laser printers in the past.
Swot is a venerable and frequently used word, derived from the word sweat. Neek is what's current with my children's generation (South London): it's a portmanteau of nerd and geek, apparently. Spod may well be regionally and temporally specific, as it's what I used to be called in SW England in the 1980s.
These kinds of insults definitely exist here in the UK too, e.g., swot, spod, as well as geek, neek, nerd, etc. I don't think these are imported from the US, as they've been around for a long time. Perhaps a manifestation of anglo-saxon anti-intellectualism?
It reminds me of Vermeer's Milkmaid. Not Renaissance either, but a beautiful photograph never the less. Accidental Baroque?

Spinney is a nice word for a smallish gathering of trees, alongside copse, coppice, etc. I'm not aware of a term for one specifically in an open field, though.
