Unfortunately, for centuries they've also been irreversibly castigated for a seemingly barbaric act: cooking and eating children.
I say they just had good taste. All true gastronomes know that children are absolutely delicious.
You can find several recipes for children on the internet, mostly involving some sort of stew or a quick boil to render the fat to be used in other recipes. I've found the very best way is cook children is to roast them. Simple, easy and so yummy! And it's a plus if you have a set of twins to cook. (It's nice to have a spare in case you flub the first one up.)
Enjoy! Cheers to witches everywhere!
CHILDREN
Ingredients:
1 large 3-year old boy (or petite 3-year old girl, redheads are sweetest)
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
A few sprigs fresh tarragon, rosemary, or thyme (optional)
5 or 6 cloves garlic, peeled (optional, but helps to mellow the flavor of a particularly precocious child.)
Chopped fresh herbs for garnish
Heat the oven to 450°F. Five minutes after turning on the oven, put a cast-iron or other heavy ovenproof skillet on a rack set low in the oven. Rub the children with the olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cover in herb sprigs, if you're using them.
When both oven and pan are hot, 10 or 15 minutes later, carefully put the children, breast side up, in the hot skillet; if you're using garlic, scatter it around the kids. Roast, undisturbed, for 40 to 50 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the meaty part of the thigh registers 155–165°F.
Transfer the kids to a platter and let it rest. Garnish, and serve with a HUGE glass of wine.
(This recipe works REALLY well with chicken too. Happy April Fools Day!)
