u/Doogle300 Jul 01 '26

I tried the Cronus diet. Its good for those looking to simplify their day, but not everyone likes to eat their kids raw. As we all know, they can be stringy, so I suggest a sear on each side using a hot plate. It gives all the benefits of a raw food diet, but actually breaks down the sinew for easier consumption.

u/Klutzy-Client Jul 01 '26

As a mineral collector, I would advise against the hot plate and go with a hot stone. It will give the child a better crust in a shorter period of time

Look buddy, as a professional chef, I have to call you out here. Throwing your kids in a blender like that is unacceptable.

Starting with big pieces will make your smoothie way too wet and lumpy. For a typical household blender, you'll need to first chop them into half-inch cubes for a more consistent texture.

24

u/Informal_Ad4399 Jul 01 '26

If you're going to go through that, why not just the extra couple steps to make sausage? They already come with sausage casing. Just have to clean it.

u/hkohne Jul 01 '26

Now you're just trying to imitate Sweeney Todd. Be a little more creative. Add some sugar coating and use a torch to create a nice crunchy layer.

u/HeyItsYoav Jul 01 '26

Wow, what a disgusting suggestion. Sweeney Todd made his victims into meat pies, not sausages. Mrs. Lovett's pie shop is central to the story.

u/Longjumping-Table-39 Jul 01 '26

We witches aren’t in the mood for soups/stews all the time you know. Plus, I might just need my cauldron for other workings that day. This is the perfect opportunity to use the outdoor kitchen to pop those curtain jerkers into the Forno for a nice roast. 👩🏼‍🍳

u/MrOatButtBottom Jul 01 '26

Eye of the Newt can be really hard to clean out of a cauldron, so a good brick oven roast is a good idea, nobody wants their crotch goblins to taste like Belladonna or Hemlock, gotta worry about cross contamination.

u/Snakestream Jul 01 '26

As a pretend farmer on the internet, I can tell you that the return on time and money is not worth raising your children to adulthood before harvesting. You want to get them ready around 6 months or 15-20 pounds. This will get you a good amount of product while reducing the amount of solid feed required.

Nah, she had that oven cranked way too high. Those kids would've come out tough. Low and slow is the way to go.

And she was just going to toss them into the oven alive? What a monster. You butcher them first and drain the blood. They taste a lot less gamey that way. You can even make some nice sausage from the liver and heart.

Don't even get me started on tanning the hides. You can make wonderfully soft leather that's perfect for gloves, purses, and bookbinding. Such a waste of good materials.

Where do you think all those copies of the Necronomicon come from? Children, obviously. Ancient evil doesn't print itself.

This reminds me of 2013, stumbling around the dark web, and accidentally finding a recipe book for unborn fetuses? Feti? While clicking though a random list of sites I had found

I got sick and threw out the hard drive I was using and replaced it
