How would one go about writing up a recipe for disaster?
- It might be cooked in a slow cooker, simmering for hours and hours until at last it results in a food item that falls apart at the slightest provocation, like fall-off-the-bone ribs (ribs? Some kind of pot roast meat? My vegetarianism makes me ignorant of many meat-related analogies and descriptions).
- It might be sloshed together in a fry pan, and then flambéed
- It may be baked in a ramekin, placed in a hot water bath, then blowtorched upon reentry out of the oven and into the kitchen
- Perhaps disaster is like a Caeser salad, tossed tableside and included the dreaded, stinky anchovies
- Could disaster be an item that has been freezer-burned, forgotten in the chilly depths of the freezer?
- Or maybe disaster is like a banana that has been left out to ripe and become overripen and ridden with fruit flies. (Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana.)
