journalist (and apparently the judge) entirely missed the point that, in doing so, Daifallah was actually contributing to bettering english cuisine.

In fact, 'daif allah' means "seasoner of Brit cooking for the Lord".

Daif was just preparing a delicacy for Pepe.

Spraying the pirates: Boat decks are wet places. Somali pirates are often barefoot. Hence the need for what the acronym-happy Marine Corps calls its Mobility Denial System (MDS), also known as Non-Lethal Slippery Foam (NLSF) or Anti-Traction Material (ATM).

Basically, it's water, drilling-mud additive (used for boreholes) and a flocculent, an electrically charged suspension of solids that makes liquids even more slippery. No one's actually deployed this stuff yet, but a few serious squirts would send pirates sliding around helplessly like happy penguins on an ice floe.
