It’s Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend and, being vegetarian, I’m not keen on the big over-dressed turkey. So I’m providing the following recipe for those adventurous souls who would like something a little different. It’s not exactly vegetarian but liberties may be taken with the ingredients.
CURRIED DRAGON-LEGS
two dozen chopped red salamanders
sixteen minced wild garlic cloves
sautéed almost to brown
stir in five tablespoons of Madras curry
a sniff of salt and pepper
two diced caiman
and a handful of fresh grated ginger
cook gently for as long as it takes
to drink half a glass of white wine
add the leftover half
with two cups of kangaroo milk
stir thoughtfully
mix in five cups of diced dragon-legs
simmer until dinner time
finish the wine
serve with chopped toothache grass
pickled piranhas
hot pepper mealy bread
palm frond salad
best eaten with beer two weeks
after the full moon
mmmmm yum! need a dessert item, “chocolate covered dragon-legs”.
On a more serious note, shouldn’t it be “dragons-legs” with an “s”?
Chocolate-covered brontosaurus legs would be bigger and therefore better for dessert, but think of the sugar-fit afterwards.
Re the s: we don’t say ‘chickens’ wings’ and I prefer to omit it anyway. It wouldn’t sound right to me.
hope you had a great Thanksgiving.
It was quiet. No dragon legs either. How about you?
