DRAGON SOUP (after Tom McGowen) There was a kingdom and a king who was very fat because he was fond of food. He began his day with a big breakfast at 8 o’clock and had a snack at 10 and a large lunch at 12. Then he watched tennis or horses, then he had a small snack at 2 in the afternoon. At 4 he had sandwiches and at 7 in the evening he happilly sat down to a royal dinner party. 1
The king had one problem: he wanted to make changes in every dish. That’s why all his cooks left him because they didn’t like changing all their recipés. “We are going to have a contest and the one who tells me the most unusual recipé can be the royal cook!” the king said one day. 1
