But why only vicariously try them
through a mediated, imaginary avatar in a dubiously-run and often
arbitrary game world? Here's your chance to bring weird cooking into
the sterile comforts of your own modern, real world existence.
Hill Cantons Halushky
2-3 Large potatoes
Flour 4-5 tablespoons
1 egg
1/3 lb. Organ meat (or bacon if you are
a wuss)
1 lb. Vryndza (uni-horned sheep cheese,
substitute a milder goat cheese and milk in this plane of existence)
Salt (preferably extracted from the briny waters around Slumbering Ursine Dunes, but any salt will do)
Peel potatoes and finely shred them.
Add egg and flour. Make a dough that is not too tough but not to
watery. You may use more or less flour or add a little bit of water
if it is too tough. Add 1 tsp of salt. Boil water with 2 tablespoons of the salt.
Drop a little bit of the dough into the boiling
water. Be sure the water is always boiling. When the halushky are done
they will float on top of the water, pick them out with a strainer.
Fry organ meat (or bacon, if you must)
until golden-brown. Chop finely. Heat cheese (with milk if you are
using one of your Earth cheeses) until it makes a sauce. Be sure to
stir and keep the heat low so as not to burn it.
Heat everything together, continually
mixing. When it starts to boil, remove from the heat. Slather on a
pool of mutagenic white gravy (see below) and meat as garnish, serve.
The dish is usually accompanied by plum brandy, sheep's milk, and/or
a horrific hangover.
White Gravy
Cost: 1 lady (sp)/clay jug
An omnipresent, semi-viscous white salty mess liberally poured on two of the major food groups of the cantons: dumplings and halushky. Mako, a black, peppery spice ground into the gravy, is in fact a beneficial mutagen conveying an immunity to psychonauts and other meta-pathogens that affect agency. Cantonal gravy is now exported widely through the Flailsnails multiverse.

I like these little details about the setting.
ReplyDeleteAwesome, dude.
ReplyDeleteLove it.
Thanks I will have a steamy heap all fixed up when you visit with Trey.
DeleteOrgan meat? Is that akin to scrapple or are we talking minced liver?
ReplyDeleteWait, wait, wait one cotton pickin' minute. YOU did a food blog and I didn't know about it until just now.
ReplyDeleteWhat the heck?
PS: I like how you call your readers a wuss. At work we have hot sauce and then what I call, wussy sauce.
Happy Eating :-)
