Ouns' Recipe Scroll

Welcome, welcome reader! Here, I will impart my knowledge of Kyteux cooking upon you! Come, sit down, for I will teach you as I have my own family.

— Ouns

Ouns' Recipe Scroll is a popular collection of recipes used by the Kyteux which has been copied down or shared by many.

A Single Use

In truth, while the scroll contains a large number of recipes— most Kyteux would agree that they are terrible. A staggering number of Ouns' recipes even call for burning the entire meal after it's been prepared.

Most of the scroll contains illustrations alongside each step, allowing the commoners who cannot read to follow along. It is assumed that whoever Ouns was, they were not entirely sane— but had their own strokes of genius.

However, a single recipe stands out among the rest— conveniently being the first one written in the recipe scroll. That recipe is their recipe for chyt fillet— utilizing a previously untried technique where the meat is cooked within plantain leaves.

Much of Kyteux cuisine was changed by this single recipe, which remains the sole reason why any individual would bother to pick the scroll up.

A Popular Recipe

Chyt fillet

What you'll need for this mouth-watering dish:

• 1 chyt fish
• Still glowing embers
• Plantain leaves
• Spices of your choosing

First, you take your chyt and gut it. You can use the innards later as bait for other fish or when hunting.

Find your spices, and have them on hand!
Then, wash your plantain leaves, and wrap them around the fish— place your spices on all sides of it!.
Depending on the size of your fish, you may need up to four leaves!

Have your embers ready! Use a stick, or rod of some kind to dig a small pit that your fish should fit into.

Keep the wrapping together and place the fish into the pit in your embers, and cover it.

Wait around 15-20 minutes— then take the fish carefully out of the embers.

Now unwrap it, and fillet the chyt— and serve!

An infamous recipe

An especially terrible recipe from the scroll goes as follows;

Mouthwatering Papaya Salad

You will need:

• A bowl of fresh cut grass
• 3 onions
• Tomato
• Yntxol

First, you take the tomato and coat it in the grass.

Then you throw it in a fire for four hours, or until blackened, and you've got a delicious meal!

It is no wonder why many believe Ouns to have suffered some sort of curse, mental illness, or mental trauma— much of the scroll's contents are nonsensical.
