"If I have to hear one more time about that famous gourmet who wrote that recipie book, I'll hack off my own ears with a blunt axe.
Sure, he can cook up some dishes fit for them stodgy Imperials and them poncy Bretons, but real Nords want real Nord food, and my chaurus pie is just that...
First thing you'll need is some chaurus meat and that ain't easy to come by. Chauruses mostly live in caves, and as like as not they share them caves with other nasty things.
If you go hunting for chaurus meat to make some dinner with, make sure you don't end up as dinner yourself. Haha.
Anyway, like I was saying, get yourself some good armor and a nice big sword, and if you've got some stout men who won't run off at the first sign of trouble - in other words, not like one of them poncy Bretons - then go looking in caves and you'll find a chaurus sooner or later.
Now once you got some chaurus meat, you got to put it on a spit. Make sure you get that white, thick meat from the midsection. Don't use that yellow meat from the head or legs, because that's got poisonous acid in it and if you eat it, you'll probably die.
When the chaurus is done and you've basted it enough, then you want to bake it in a pie with some potatoes, carrots and apples. And put the rest of that sauce you made in there, too.
If you want turnips, sometimes those are good. Depends on what you're in the mood for.
Then you cook that for awhile. Look for the top to be light brown, that's when you know it's done.
And that's it. Easy as pie. Haha."
Obviously, my vote is for Pie.
