A Bewitching Bite: A Recipe for the Supernatural Palate

Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh mermaid tears, captured at midnight under a full moon
• 3 drops blood from a lovesick sailor
• 1 lock of hair from a drowned maiden
• 7 black pearls, crushed to a fine powder
• Pinch of sea salt cursed by a vengeful sea witch

Instructions

The Perils of Procuring Mermaid Tears

Voyage out into the haunted cove where the mermaids’ siren songs echo across the waves. On the night of the full moon, wait patiently on the sharp, salt-sprayed rocks at the stroke of midnight.

Be forewarned, aspiring supernatural chefs, that the path to obtaining the key ingredient for this recipe is fraught with danger and temptation. Many a sailor has been lured to their doom by the siren call of the mermaids, their hearts broken and their bodies dragged down into the watery abyss. Only those with an iron will and a heart fortified against the seductive power of the merfolk can hope to emerge unscathed from the haunted cove with their precious cargo of tears.

When the mermaids emerge from the depths and begin to sing their sorrowful songs that drive men to madness, hold out a silver scallop shell to collect their glistening tears as they weep. Take care not to be lured to a watery demise by their enchanting voices.

Return to shore with the precious tears. In a black cauldron, combine the mermaid tears, the drops of sailor’s blood, and the drowned maiden’s lock of hair. Stir the mixture counter-clockwise with a whalebone spoon while chanting:

“Tears of sorrow, beauty’s cost,

Bind the caviar with love lost.”

1. Sprinkle in the crushed black pearls and cursed sea salt while whispering the names of the drowned and damned. Heat the mixture over a driftwood fire until it bubbles like the wrath of the scorned sea.
2. Skim the caviar from the top of the brew with a golden net woven from the hair of a mermaid. Drain away the excess liquid until only the black, shimmering eggs remain.
3. Spoon the Mermaid Tears Caviar into a cut-crystal jar. Seal it with a cork carved from the heart of an ancient shipwreck. Let the caviar cure in the light of thirteen new moons.
