Dubious Food

This one deserves some explanation.

My sonwell, all of my kids, but my son Sam in particularis a huge fan of Nintendo’s Zelda: Breath of the Wild, a game in which, in addition to running around, exploring and beating up/robbing mischievous goblins, you obtain and occasionally cook food. Sometimes it’s just meats or vegetables that you toss over a flame, but you can also combine different foods to create surprising concoctions that can boost your health or give you momentary surges of power or, I don’t know, magical invulnerability or whatever.

Every now and then, though, these combinations go wrong, and you end up creating something the game calls dubious fooda dish “too gross to even look at”, as it were.

So Rebecca decided to make Zelda for dinner: Sammy did the fish and mushroom skewers, threw some peppers into an iron skillet, and Mom made a giant batch of dubious food for dessert. It looks incredibly gross, indeed (so much that I had to push myself a little to take a bite)but it was actually surprisingly sweet and delicious.
