Cooking with the trolls.

[Morgrus]

I was flipping through an old volos guide and saw the dragon stew and roast cockatrice recipes,mmmm and started to wonder what are your favorite gameing foods and snacks. Please post C&C style recipes if you have any. Bonappetit

Leaves from the Inn of the Last Home had several recipes in it.

Otik's potatoes where pretty good. Never got a chance to make Fizban's Fireball Chili though.

I've been cooking a great stew recipe I found a few years ago, called slumgullion - which is Gold Rush slang for stews made from leftovers or food scrapes.

The recipe starts from scratch, but I could see easily adding leftovers.

Anyhow, it's ground beef, elbow macaroni noodles, dices tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, green pepper and garlic. Easy to make, easy to love.

I had a laugh when Gary mentions this dish in Saga of Old City. Gord has a plateful and eats in the kitchen with the help at an Inn in Greyhawk.

It's also mentioned briefly in The Canting Crew and World Builder.

Ive cooked several recipes from the Volo's guide . Not all convert over well but about half were really good. I'm quite the gastronomic experimenter.

Hell yeah! I routinely make Otik's potatoes. Love them.

I've made Gullydwarf Stew, but I made it vegetarian (sorry, no lizard meat), and Gnome Chicken (vegetarian version and carnivorous).

I love the cookie recipes, but I'm inept when it comes to cooking sweets, so I must rely on the kindness of others for them.

Now I'm totally craving those potatoes.

[voynich]

here is something recent:

1 devil food's cake (box recipe if you must) cut into two 8" rounds

2 large mint chocolate chip pudding (instant if you must)

6 large snicker bars, chopped

8 twix bars, chopped

8 kit kat bars, chopped

2 cups of reese's pieces, ground to powder

3 cups of whipped cream (1 large tub if you have to buy it)

make the cake and cut it, placing one round in a glassware dish

layer it with pudding, candies (not the powdered reese's pieces) and then whipped cream, topped off with the powder (add a dash of whip cream to the middle) and repeat with second layer

it is very thick and creamy, but satisfying. should serve around 10.

My own potato recipe:

6-9 red potatoes, thin sliced

half stick unsalted butter

2 tbs minced garlic

1 tsp black pepper

1 cup real bacon bits (Hormel's are the best)

2 pinches rosemary

2 pinches thyme

1/4 cup chives

Put 1/4 stick of butter into a frying pan to melt on medium heat. Once melted and the bottom of the pan is thoroughly coated, add the garlic and let cook for a couple minutes before adding half the potatoes.

after adding the first half of the potatoes, add the other 1/4 stick of butter, chives, rosemary, thyme, bacon bits, and pepper. Add the other half of the potatoes in on top. Cover and let cook stirring every 4-10 minutes depending on how crispy you want your taters.

When the individual slices are cooked through they're ready to serve.

Note: the thinner the potato slices used, the faster they cook up. Serve alone or with poultry.

I could never cook with Trolls -- too stringy.

This just made my heart hurt. However it needs bacon or a sausage gravy. MMMMMM gravy.

Cake or death?
One of our favorites is a recipe from an old Judges Guild adventure done for Tunnels and Trolls, called "Rat on a Stick", and the recipe (as you might expect) is also called "Rat on a Stick"! I include it below:

1 - 1/2 lbs ground beef

1/2 c finely crushed cheddar cheese crackers

1 egg

1/4 tsp ground black pepper

1/2 lb cheese (Cheddar, or your personal favorite)

1 tbsp honey

1 c barbecue sauce

8 wooden meat skewers or equivalent

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahreinheit. Cut cheese into half-inch cubes. Impale cheese cubes on skewers, dividing evenly among them. In large bowl mix beef, egg, cracker crumbs and pepper. If mixture doesn't stick together, add 2 tablespoons milk. Divide mixture into 8 sections. Press each section flat until about 1/2 inch thick, and wrap around the cheese cubes on the skewers. Make sure there are no holes or cracks in the meat that would let the cheese leak out while baking. Shape top end of meat "rat" into a point.

Optional tails: Fill a small saucepan with water and add 4 drops red food coloring. Bring to a boil. Break 4 sticks of spaghetti in half. Place into water, leaving one end out of water. When spaghetti has softened and turned pink, remove from water. Using unsoftened end, insert one piece of spaghetti into round end of "rat". Drape soft end of spaghetti around handle of stick.

Place "rats" on baking sheet (one with raised sides). Dribble honey over and pour barbecue sauce over "rats". Bake 30 minutes, basting and turning occasionally.

BTW, when I make these I use a mixture of ground beef and ground spicy breakfast sausage for some added kick. I've also stuck tiny uncooked macaroni shells onto the pointy end of the "rats" for ears (after I took them out of the oven). Or, if you don't want to go to any of this trouble making rat shapes, just form a giant meatloaf out of it and cook it for about an hour! Tell your players it's a Giant Rat and dig in...
