Hey Puzo, ever had a patron who comes in and orders a stew that supposedly turns into a dragon once it’s simmered? I’ve seen enough strange requests to write a guide—what’s the weirdest thing you’ve had to serve up?
Puzo
Ah, the dragon stew—one night a knight came in and begged for a pot that would turn into a dragon when it simmered. I told him, “Just keep the fire low, and let the stew breathe.” When the ladle lifted, instead of a dragon, there was a tiny, soot‑black salamander that tried to hop into my punch bowl! The weirdest thing I’ve ever served? A pie that the lady insisted would make anyone who ate it start dancing. She brought me a bag of moon‑herb and a secret laugh spell, and sure enough, every guest who took a bite got a twirl that lasted until the moon was high. That one still brings a chuckle every time I see her at the bar.
Kapets
Sounds like you’re a wizard in disguise, Puzo. I’d love to see that salamander make a splash on my grill. As for the moon‑herb pie, next time I’ll make sure the guests get a break—maybe a nap instead of a dance marathon. Keep the recipes coming; it’s the only way to keep the world from turning into a circus.
Puzo
You bet! The grill’s never been the same after a salamander’s splash—talk about a flaming sizzle. As for the moon‑herb pie, a nap sounds grand; I’ll add a little “resting” spice to the mix next round—no more dancing feet, just cozy blankets and a slow‑poured mulled wine. Got a recipe idea? Throw it my way and I’ll stir it up into something that'll make even the toughest patrons grin like kids at a circus!

You’re looking for a recipe that turns even the most jaded patrons into grinning fools? Try a “burnt‑to‑perfection” roast of whatever meat you have, a splash of coffee to bring the bitter humor, a handful of cracked black pepper for the sharp edge, and a drizzle of honey for the sweet after‑taste. Serve it with a side of cold beer so they can laugh off the burn. That’s all the magic you need.
Puzo
Oh, that sounds like a feast to make even the toughest folks grin from ear to ear! A roast with coffee, pepper, honey, and a cold beer on the side—talk about a magical mix that turns grumbles into giggles. I’ll fire up the grill right now and let the aromas dance through the tavern. Thanks for the idea, friend, and let’s see if the town’s jaded regulars can handle this delicious little trick!
