I remember sitting with my mother every Christmas early afternoon with pliers, pulling tendons before the turkey went into the oven. Can't something similar be done on an industrial scale? -- We are geeks. Resistance is voltage over current.

There should be a Baba Yaga hut ride, except that's originally chicken legs. And a levitating ramekin. (I'm glad I checked before I wrote "merkin" there. Anyway it's a mortar and pestle, maybe reflecting a pharmaceutical origin of all this stuff.)

A giant levitating merkin ride would be in a different kind of park, probably in Japan. :-) pt

They've somehow almost disappeared from the market. Back in the 90s I
was a big consumer of Kloakslam ("sewer sludge"), sometimes combined with
icecream at the height of my hedonism. Today I can't get them anywhere
should I suddenly develop a craving, but have to wait for them to randomly
appear briefly.

Except a mortar and pestle were standard kitchen equipment for any good-sized medieval household. (Quantities of almond milk to be made, for instance.) A modern Baba Yaga would probably ride a blender. My daughter and I make a Mock Boar's Head for an SCA feast every year, for which we grind several pounds of blanced almonds (for the marzipan, and some of it is blended to a pulp with rosewater to make almond milk). -- Dorothy J.

Well, that's nice. Ours, as I said, was four feet long and had some complexities to it: the meat was made of fruitcake baked in many disks of varying sizes, each with a hole in the middle. When they were assembled, they were glued together with (IIRC) plain white frosting, but the spinal column running through the segments was marzipan; so were the bright green scales that covered it. We borrowed somebody's great shield to carry it in on. There were only about a hundred people at the feast, so there were lots of leftovers for people to take home and dream of dragons on. So it was not only dessert, it was a subtlety. Subtletys are hard work, so they don't happen very often (modulo the Mock Boar's Head appearing every fall at the Boar's Hunt). Karen Anderson made an elaborate gingerbread castle one Twelfth Night, with figures from _The Incomplete Enchanter_ welcoming Cambell (gyronny of eight, sable and argent) to the castle. (John W. Campbell Jr. had just died.) I did a ring-mold of forcemeat once, covered with pastry (sculped by my artistic son) and filled with saffron rice decorated with bits of candied fruit: the dragon guarding his treasure. And both my daughter and I, at our respective weddings, had a cake of many small layers, representing that medieval concept, knights attacking the Castle of Love and ladies defending it with flowers. (We got professional bakers to do those.) -- Dorothy J. Heydt Vallejo, California djheydt at gmail dot com

Interesting. If someone had said to me "you must make a mock dragon's
tail (or dragon's head) for a banquet", I'd have assumed they wanted a
close imitation of one, and thus it'd be meat and bones with appropriate
decorations...

Except that the Mock Dragon's Tail, as described by Tolkien, was made of fruitcake and marzipan, because there hadn't been any real dragons around since the memory of man runneth not to the contrary. (Until Giles went and found one, but its tail did not become available for cooking.) -- Dorothy J. Heydt Vallejo, California djheydt at gmail dot com

Terra Chips appear to be pretty much all vegetable -- they're sections
of various root vegetables, actual slices, not puree shaped and fried or
whatever. I like them a lot.

I like them a lot. > Hm. I googled them and all I got was a list of different chips they make. I googled 'Terra Chips nutrition' and got a list of the different vegetables from which they're made. Down at the bottom of the second or third such list I finally found a link to the nutritional values, which include Total Carb 16g per serving. That's about what I expected. Root vegetables generally contain a lot of carbs: that's why people traditionally eat them, they're full of carbs that provide calories to keep them going in a food-poor environment. But I live in a food-rich environment and I have serious Type II diabetes. The vegetables I can eat are mostly the green/leafy kind, like spinach. Nice thought, though. -- Dorothy J.
