Onna Stick
For some reason, someone's building a little concession stand at the entrance to the Bat Hole. There's a counter, an oven behind it, and a little, weasely guy stringing up a banner overhead that reads "Batwing Onna Stick."
"Huh," you say, "this seems like a really weird place for a restaurant. I mean, what about the guano constantly dropping on everything?"
"Ah, but you don't know bat enthusiasts," he says. "For them, a little guano'd only improve the flavor! I'm going to make a fortune selling my patented Batwing Onna Stick to the tourists in this cave, even though at these prices, I'm practically cutting my own head off!"
You politely don't mention that you've never seen any tourists in the Bat Hole, but have to point out another flaw in his logic: "but, can't any adventurer make a batwing kabob with just a bat wing and a skewer, right in their own campsite?"
"Well sure," he says, "but we're selling an experience here. Buy the Batwing Onna Stick in the batcave, from a person in a ridiculous uniform. Eat it right here, in the very caves that spawned the bat whose wing you're eating! Remember, it's not a batwing kabob, it's Batwing Onna Stick! The only problem is, I haven't found anyone willing to wear this uniform and work here yet. Are you looking for a job?"
You decide you could use the spare meat, and put on the red, white, blue, and yellow striped hat, pants, and bat wings that the entrepeneur offers you.
After an hour of standing around with no customers, you get let go, but at least you got paid handsomely for your time.
Well, let's say that after you threatened to break the weasely little guy into several hundred pieces, you got paid handsomely for your time.
