Welcome back, Geeky Gluttons, to another episode of Munchies & Minis!
For those just joining us, Munchies & Minis is my tabletop RPG-inspired live cooking show. Once a week, I make a snack or meal to pair with a side of dice rolls. You can catch me on Twitch (unless indicated otherwise on social media) Wednesday nights at 7 pm EST.
Last time I posted the video for leek and raisin-stuffed pork loin with red wine gravy inspired by D&D’s Dragon Magazine. This week’s video, we serve up some cheesy churros with pineapple dipping sauce inspired by the “Oops! All Goblins!” D&D one-shot hosted by Flipping the Table.
A Taste of Hovel
A few months ago, Evan Brando of The Brando Show invited me to play an all-goblin D&D game with an all-star cast featuring Nikki Johnson (SlaydiesATL), Katie Downey (D4 Podcast), and Garret Loudin (Evan Brando Show). He laid out the concept to us — goblin Nick Fury wants to create his own goblin-only Avenger group — except instead of superpowered individuals, he seeks out his best friends.
I decided I was going to play goblin Nick Fury’s mom. Her name was Queefie Brownthumb, a mother of five who goes adventuring after the last little gobbo leaves the house. She is a druid who learned spells from the local garden club, an owner of a multi-level magic rock business, and a star home-cook who makes the best brownies. Instead of brownies, though, I made another recipe based off of our insane game.
In one scene, our group finds a trashcan with churros in it. We take them, thinking it a good travel snack. Queefie mentions that they go great with blue cheese. Salti (played by Katie Downey) doesn’t believe her. Out of character, I saw that as a challenge.
Cinnamon is excellent with blue cheese. It also goes fantastically with pineapple. Blue cheese and pineapple share a flavor compound called methyl hexanoate. So it decided to try my theory with a blue and cheddar cheese-based churro. I learned a couple of things:
First is that to get a cheesier flavor, you’re going to need to fry this dough for less time than a standard churro. Second, that pineapple sauce? Makes a fantastic marinade for pork and chicken if you happen to have any leftover. And third? Blue cheese does taste delicious in a churro. Success! Suck it, Salti!
