Memoirs Of Demon Lord - Chapter 14 Day 367 Breakfas
Breakfast!
Breakfast is an important meal of the day, without something to eat in the morning, it’s very likely that you won’t have energy throughout the whole day. That can be dangerous especially when you are running for your life from a group of religious fanatics screaming “KILL THE EVIL!” while waving swords and all sort of instrument of war.
Now, normally a sword wouldn’t really do much damage, honest to god. It wouldn’t do any damage to me, but these particular weapons of these particular religious fanatics are enchanted, now THAT hurt!
So, why am I running for my life you ask? Well…..because this morning I woke up feeling rather famished, and decided to get some breakfast. On hindsight, I should have just chosen an orphanage in the slum, but those are a bit unsanitary.
So against my better judgement, I decided to go to the church for their unimportant attendants. The nobles on this kingdom that I am residing in tend to send their thirds or even second sons to the church, if the children refused to become a butler or working for the family.
Naturally, these seconds and thirds are disposable, and only become important if the first child in their family died or suffer unfortunate accident that render them unable to manage the estate left to them by their predecessor. I was so sure that they wouldn’t missed one or maybe two of these disposable noble but look like I was rather wrong, but all is not lost I say. This is because I had managed to snatch for myself a pair of thigh, a heart and a brain for breakfast and boy….I tell you, it’s certainly worth the effort. Noble meat are the creme de la creme of humankind. They have much better texture and taste compare to the rest of the schmuck that are commoner.
Let me tell you this, once you had human chops, you will never look back, they’re just that good. The best chops are usually the legs, from the thigh down. You must start by selecting the right chop, the right chops can be a world difference between a good meal and horrible meal. Choosing the right chops requires a careful examination of the label and possibly a short conversation with a butcher, or victim, depending on your sources, I usually use slave merchants for this, but my usual shop had closed down due to some internal issues, shame really, I liked the guy.
What you are looking for are loins, ribs, or sirloin chops. If you get a shoulder or leg chop you’ll need to use a marinade to make it tender, but that only applied if you’re using animal or beast. Human shoulder and leg chops doesn’t require marinade for tenderness, they’re already tender by themselves. I do recommend marinade still, it enhance the flavor.
The chops you choose should have a light red, finely textured meat with smooth, white fat. Marbling is not as important with human as it is with beef, but the fat on your chops should be evenly distributed. Also, the chops should be a little bit more than an inch thick.
The second thing you need to do is select your flavors. Human flesh is excellent when seasoned with garlic, rosemary, thyme, oregano, savory, fennel, and mustard. Any rub, marinade, or sauce made with these will enhance the flavor of your human chops.
Begin with a thin coating of olive oil and then a light sprinkling of seasonings, but you don’t need to go overboard. You don’t want to cover the flavor of the meatyou only want to add to it.Now we go into grilling, Human flesh are just like any other flesh, it’s full of fatty juices and very soft texture, therefore it’s easy for it to be ruin if you’re not careful in cooking it.
Human chops should be grilled on a covered grill over medium-high heat. Ideally, you should grill them to medium-rare or medium. There are few things worse than a dried out, over-cooked human chop, so keep a close eye on them and remove the chops from the grill when you reach an internal temperature of 140 F.
As always, let the meat rest for a few minutes before you serve it; in this case, five minutes will be good. That allows the juices to be absorbed back into the meat. If you cut the chops before that occurs, you will lose juices onto the plate and the chops will seem dry and oh how I hate dry chops. It practically ruined the experience. ……………………………………………………………………………………..
Ah, there we go. Finally lose those annoying bug. Honestly you’d think they never seen a human ripped apart before. Sheesh, I would have killed them all if it wasn’t for their enchanted weapon….maybe I should go and take some for my own. I do desperately need a new cooking knife.
This one I’m using is practically falling apart.
