One person's byproduct can be your delicious ingredient. It can be as humble as bacon grease, celestial as Milky Way buttermilk, filling as lembas croutons, or.... Whatever it is Yog Shoggoth makes. What will be in your cookout?

An experimental recipe for the cookout. Can you guess what it is? A fairy ring cake? An edible cosmos? The one thing capable of containing Cthulhu citrus?

Will your cookout focus on the fantasy fare of one fine heritage? Or will it contain all the cuisine of your multiethnic cosmos?

Big cooking holidays are upon us. While some people can whip up a feast for dozens the day of the cookout, some need to start well in advance. What's your
@tco-anthology.bsky.social
prep like? A Fridge of Holding to keep all your ingredients fresh? A time accelerator to roast meat in minutes?

Sometimes you want to try something new from Avant-Garde Android's Cookbook. Other times you curl into Cozy Fantasy Corner for your favorite safe food. What do you like bringing to the cookout? Something you never made before, or That One Dish everyone knows you for?

I tried making beef stew, but the meat to vegetable ratio is 1:3 and counting. What do you think is the cause,

? A replicator that prefers printing veg? A meat stealing sprite?

Today's feast is roast lamb with garlic and rosemary. The original recipe comes from A Taste of Heritage. Not only was this yummy, it provided leftovers for days. What cookbook will you consult for The Cookout? Delicious in Dungeon? To Serve Man?
