I should probably apologize for three posts in one day, but Julia at the 100 Word Challenge for Grown Ups has asked us to provide recipes fit for a witch, and I wanted to offer mine before Halloween comes to an end. Let me know what you think – is this truly horrifying?
Not intended for human or animal consumption under any circumstances.
Do not cook this at home, or elsewhere. 😉
Pie of Newt
Filling:
3 newts
10 rotten apples
sugar and cinnamon to taste (bespell somebody else to do the tasting)
Crust:
1/2 small package of quick-set concrete
Cut newts into bite-sized pieces. Slice apples; do not remove seeds and stems. Mix with sugar and cinnamon.
Line pan with thin layer of concrete. Pour filling into pan. Top with remaining concrete; cut a few steam holes in top crust before concrete hardens. Bake in a medium oven for about 45 minutes.
An excellent treat for testing whether your magic is powerful enough to compel obedience, since no one will eat this concoction voluntarily.
Ah but they would be tempted if you brushed the top with beaten egg before baking this tasty surprise!
😀 😀 😀
Ha! Ha! Ha! I sure would NOT eat it voluntarily either!!
Very good idea!!
like the last line, though i’m sure concrete’s pretty tasty
Thank you! And in return for those kind words, you may have my helping. 😉
Horrifying if one considers trying it! That’s one mean recipe. Great ending.
Thank you! It was a lot of fun taking good ol’ apple pie and twisting it.
If you leave out the concrete it looks quite edible.. (always go for the filling)
Ummm, maybe if you used fresh apples…….
Funny! 🙂
Thanks! Funny is what I was trying for 🙂
Definitely needed the health warning as it sounds (almost) good enough to eat!
Well, it is sort of a parody of normal apple pie – if you use fresh apples and real piecrust and omit the newts, it should turn out pretty well! (Oh, and leave out the apple stems and seeds 😉 ) But always remember, the minimum daily requirement of concrete for a well-balanced diet is really very, very small!
