This week's meal is a Christmas special straight from the Alpine region of Bavaria and Austria. Emily cooked up the story of Krampus, but, hopefully, with some new flavors you've never tried before! Dishes of contemporary and historical representations of the Christmas demon and his deeds and a dessert of possible inspiration for his origin make for a devilishly delightful meal.

SBTS #5 The Last Vampire

2 Recommendations

Transylvania is known as the home of vampires, but did you know that Rhode Island was the home of America's last vampire? The United States had its own vampire craze fueled by tuberculosis and a medical community unable to treat or explain the dreaded disease. This fueled paranoia that deaths were not caused by disease, but instead by supernatural beings. Rhode Island's most infamous case, that of Mercy Lena Brown, and a lesser-known predecessor, Sarah Tillinghast, shared many uncanny similarities including ghastly conclusions to their tales. We hope you enjoy this little bite, but be careful, it may bite back!
