YogSosoth, \*\*Evil Turducken \*\*would be an AWESOME band name. Form that band and you have a good shot at being house band. ---

The Vol-au-vent of Randolph Carter - Enjoy the light, flaky exterior, but send your friend to investigate the filling. The Brats of Ulthar - Very sleek and fat do these sausages appear, and sonorous with purring content. The Shroom That Came to Sarnath - Behold a sauteed fungus of great and terrible portent. The Lurking Paneer - This curry has a firm, cheesy secret at the bottom of the bowl. Necronom-nom-nomicon - Flee the monster which comes in search of this cookie, its eyes a shapeless congeries of googly putrescence. Oh, and one more from India: The Dhal of Cthulhu The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all of this meal’s contents. ---

_ **R’lyeh Hushpuppies** _: Cyclopean hushpuppies, redolent of spheres, made in a fashion inconsistent with Euclidean geometry. Stuffed with squid tentacles and brooding in a slimy tartar ooze _ **Azathoth Fondue** _: Made by a blind, idiot chef, this cheese fondue bubbles and boils within its own nuclear chaos, surrounded by sycophantic revelers amidst the piping of a distant flute ---

Well done! I modestly submit… **Baked Innsmuth** - a placid island of ignorance and meringue in the midst of black seas of infinity. Served with raspberry sauce that shudders with an unholy serpentine light. ---

The Frightening Vegimite! The scary wisdom of old Pa Ella! And of course the monster living in the French/Swiss Alps… the horrid Blancmonge! ---

_ **The Dessert that came to Sarnath** _: A 3 layer fudge sundae darker than the gulf between the stars, served in a bowl carved like the idol of a long dead civilization _ **Kadath, the Frozen Yogurt** _: A dreamlike yogurt, mountainous and topped with the broken remnants of nuts on one side, and gaunt and barren on the other side facing away from the favor of the gods ---
