Long ago my great grand pappy told to me a peculiar tale of a time he became lost at sea and shipwrecked upon some strange unknown island. For days he wandered along the coast with the slim hope for rescue. Eventually when his hunger and boredom got the best of him he ventured deep into the thick dark forest he had been avoiding. Hopelessly lost, exhausted, and about to give up he heard a faint murmur from ahead. Creeping closer he peered through the brush and what he saw was a band of Goblins haphazardly dancing around their campfire. They were chanting - chanting about the dinner they were making.

n' supposedly it went somethin' like this...

Rip and Spill the Pumpkin's Guts
Roast and Stuff with Mushroom Butts
Add Secret Rocks from Under Soil
Moldy Cheese to Melt and Boil
Lots o' Stuff to Ward Off Bats
This'll Make us Nice and Fats
Don't Forget the Dragon's Fire
Pumpkin Bomb's what we Desire!

Knowing Goblins are highly sensitive about anyone discovering their secret recipes he dared not reveal himself and instead waited till they were all fast asleep to sneak up and snag the very last of that musty meal.

Terrible taste he said - like the depths of the deepest cave mixed with the underside of the filthiest foot, and a nice burning throat sensation to top it off. Pepped 'em right up though and with his newfound strength he continued on to escape that strange island. Although curiously he never would quite reveal HOW exactly he managed that feat...

Now why would I attempt to recreate such a pungent pumpkin-pot of Goblin cuisine? Good question. Why would anyone care to cram it down their gullet? An even better one. Nonetheless based upon the Goblin's song and my great grandfather's description of the ingredients I believe I have deciphered this recipe as well as anyone could hope to.

"Goblin Pumpkin Bomb"
Ogre Pumpkin
Button Mushroom
Gil Bun
Shriekshroom
White Truffle
Blue Cheese
Garlean Garlic
Dragon Pepper

Take care not to wash any of the ingredients, especially the mushrooms - the more dirt the better. Hollow out that pumpkin, toss it onto open flame. Rough chop all other ingredients and lots of 'em. Stuff 'em in the pumpkin. Cook until well roasted outside and pipin' hot gooey inside.
