Knock, Knock!
Who’s there?
Cecil!
Cecil who?
Cecil casserole! Yum!
Cecil’s (in)famous Long Pig column, combined with Slug’s illustrations of Cecil’s corpse as a cut-rate butcher-shop special and also as the “main course”, leads one to ponder the best way to prepare “Cecil à la mode”.
Some thoughts: A large pot brought to full boil, cooking time of 10 minutes per pound (22 minutes/kilogram) – all figures assume standard surface atmospheric pressure of 1013.25 hectoPascals at 1.000 G gravity – cook until tender, but don’t overcook, leftover organs can be used in a (missing) kidney pie.
But no dish is complete without seasoning. A few shredded pages from the Straight Dope series adds healthy cellulose. Shredded covers from same make an attractive and colorful but not garish garnish. (Kids especially will like the purple from Triumph of the Straight Dope.) May cause gigantism if consumed in large quantities.
Cecil, Cecil, he’s the man!
Baste him in a frying pan!
