> MOUNTIAN OYSTERS A LA KNIGHT
> A delicious appetiser made with one of the least used parts of the
> domesticated Knight. If you have on hand a Knight who has been put out
> to pasture but is in no demand for stud (and let's face it, isn't that
> usually the case), why not make the best of the situation. Keeping in
> mind it's not necessary to kill the Knight for this recipe; a local
> anaesthetic will allow you to obtain everything you need. I personally
> recommend this option because otherwise you will need to stuff the rest
> of the Knight into the bin (difficult due to their great weight) or turn
> him into a beanbag cover (the end result is most amusing, but it's hard
> work cleaning and gutting a Knight).
> Using an extremely sharp knife, carefully sever the testicles, making
> sure to leave behind as smooth a surface as possible. Like all organ
> meats they are highly perishable so should be prepared immediately.
> First soak them for at least one hour in a large quantity of cold water
> with a teaspoon of vinegar to release any blood. Next, bring them slowly
> to boil and simmer uncovered from two to five minutes, depending on
> their size. When they have cooled, drain and trim off any cartilage,
> tubes, connective tissue, and tougher membrane. Give this to the dog who
> will appreciate it. Roll in seasoned flour and wrap in a strip of fatty
> bacon. Fry till a golden brown and arrange upon a bed of shredded
> Mandrake leaves. Best served while donor is absent.

Another "recipe" like this and you are banned for life! The others were okay,
though.
