SC - Plum Pudding

I am of the opinion that the entire episode was a redaction of a Lower
Slobbovian recipe at a cast iron cookware party.  Macbeth crashed the
party, thought the whole thing was witchcraft, didn't get the joke, and
went storming off to create his own reality to the detriment of
everybody (sounds like some other kingly types I know).

Double, double, toil and trouble is obviously an expression of the
common difficulties of making someone else's recipe come out right.  And
a suitable comment upon the tedious task of making a plum pudding come
out properly.  I don't think we knead a third.  Doughn't two in the
kitchen have enough problems?

Eye of newt?  No, whole allspice.  Where DID I put that salamander?
