   • 2016 April 22, Katja Perat, Rok Roudi, kulinarični pornograf‎^[1]:

     Torej: Rok Roudi, njen avtor, si je privoščil malo pomenskih mahinacij ter hrano in pornografijo zlil v podobo, v kateri točno vemo, kaj predstavlja vsaka pregovorna freudovska cigara ali v njegovem primeru hrenovka.

     So: Rok Roudi, its author, has indulged in a bit of semantic machinations and fused food and pornography into an image in which we know exactly what every proverbial Freudian cigar, or in his case a hot dog, represents.
