The Nixie & The Pond or The Jägerschnitzel Jeopardy
1 RecommendationsIn which we discover that some millers are extremely unobservant, nixies are both powerful and patient, love can overcome many obstacles and it takes a supernatural incident to keep a hunter away from his Jägerschitzel.
This is a really interesting story and has a lovely ending which as we know is not always guaranteed. This version is taken from the Grimm tale and Hans Christian Andersen hasn’t been anywhere near it though, which may explain that. I’ve never been sure whether he chooses the sad stories on purpose or its just the way those stories ended.
The recipe for this episode is Jâgerschnitzel

Pintosmalto & A Gothic Cookbook
A slightly different episode with a story and interview about A Gothic Cookbook instead of our normal format. Pintosmalto is the story of a strong -minded, brave and resourceful woman, her sweetheart (literally) and his abduction by a distant queen. Our heroine triumphs due to her cleverness, the generosity of a wise-woman and her beloved's instinct for theft.
The interview is with Alessandra Pino from A Gothic Cookbook. We chatted at length about this fantastic book as well as taking a trip down a few rabbit holes and I hope you enjoy it.
The episode story is Pintosmalto from The Pentamerone or Tale of Tales by Giambattista Basile as translated by John Edward Taylor
