Halloween Chili
(make it with the kids)
- 1 1/4 lb ground goblin gizzards: (ground beef 15% fat)
- 1 med eye of Cyclops (onion)
- 15 oz Can soft shelled beetles: (kidney beans)
- 28 oz Can blood of bat: (V-8 juice)
- 1/8 ts pureed wasp: (prepared mustard)
- 1/4 ts common dried weed: (oregano)
- 1 ds Redtailed hawk toenails: (crushed red pepper) 2 ts ground sumac
- blossom: (chili powder)
- 1 ts hemlock: (honey or sugar)
- 1/2 c fresh grubs: (sliced celery)
- 1 TB eye of Newt: (pearled barley)
- 1 TB dried maggots: (uncooked rice)
Water from a stagnant pond: (tap water) Substitutions are in
parenthesis.
Best made during the last phase of the moon, if that is not possible,
just do the best you can in a softly lighted kitchen after dark.
Brown the gizzards in an iron cauldron over a fire made from the
siding off of a haunted house, add chopped eye of cyclops and simmer
until the pieces of eye become translucent again, add blood of bat,
and soft shelled beetles, bring to a slow bubbling boil. At this
time, add the common weed, maggots, toenails, sumac, grubs, hemlock,
eye of newt and the pureed wasp.
As it cooks you may want to adjust the consistency with pond water.
You can tell it is done when the eye of newt swells and the vertical
tan colored 'cats eye' appears on one side.
