Deliciously Gross, Disgustingly Tasty!
After
years of people seeking out her recipes, advice and wisdom, Nanny Ogg
has decided to write down much of what she knows, and if others are
interested then all the better. Who else would be able to impart the
secrets of Nanny Ogg's Perfectly Innocent Porridge with Completely Inoffensive Honey Mixture Which Shouldn't Make Anyone's Wife Laugh,
which turns out to be honey. Or who else would you ask to ensure the
proper etiquette of a wedding, the answer being plenty of strong drink
for a fight to break out at.
Nanny Ogg's Cookbook is more than a collection of recipes both disgusting and strange; it is a manual for those times in life where the social rules may elude you. How else would you know who to sit where at your dinner party and what food to avoid with certain guests. It is highly recommended that you not actually try any of these recipes, for while technically edible the taste maybe highly questionable. An amusing and witty collection of recipes and advice on etiquette that is fit only for the Discworld and the odd witch.
