Recipe #6 – "Cheese Fingers...?"
████████████████████████
Terrified in a corner, they watched the most powerful mortal eat… chew and swallow fingers…
Once…
And again…
Oliver: Can someone think of the children?!
Canary: What children?
Oliver: Roy is still developing and is highly impressionable!
Roy: What are you talking about, old man?! I'm definitely not a kid…
Roy look clearly.
Roy: What the hell is that?! Cap, those are fingers?!
Marvel: Oh no, these aren’t real. Well, yes, they’re fingers and yes, they were in someone’s hands, but it isn’t exactly “someone.” They’re really not from this plane of reality, and their concept is more abstract than life itself… But it’s almost the same as eating an apple or a nut… Yes, it was part of a hand and, yes, it was part of something that could complain… But I swear it’s almost like in the dimension where everything was cotton candy. I mean, that was an accident and I apologized. But, back to the topic of the fingers…
He takes one and bites it.
Marvel: They’re cheese fingers, magically processed…
He extended one to Roy.
Marvel: Want one?
Roy: Hmmm… I think Dinah remembers that my doctor forbade me from eating things high in… what do you say they’re made of?
Marvel: Corrupt magic, infused in a world with physical conditions similar to a cheese finger factory. I know because I left them there myself six hundred years ago.
Roy: D—Definitely. I can't eat it. Am I right, Dinah?
Canary: Yes… Roy is still growing and he shouldn’t eat anything outside the protein diet of things from our world.
Billy lets them go while adding a final note to the book:
Use a food processor and shape it into normal cheese fingers.
