Do you like children?, W.C. Fields was reportedly asked. "
Yes, if they're properly cooked." Perhaps he would have enjoyed Flora's savory recipe. From
Grandpa's Ghost Stories (Atheneum Books, 1978):
Next we looked at Mrs. Ghost's favorite program. It was about cooking and was called Feeding Phantom Faces. It opened with a big, fat-bellied demon in a tall white hat. He hauled in a big iron pot and showed us how to make soup out of a dead elephant. URK! Then an old blue witch taught us how to fry baby toes and eyeballs and bake a knuckle-bone pie.
