Of all the recipes in Book Of Hours, none felt more like someone was reminiscing about a real world dish than the Magnificent Roast Potatoes.

​

No other dish has a name with a *subjective* quality, except for the *magnificent* roast potatoes. Everything is is the objective name for the dish, or the name is the ingredients. Ergo, it is *objective* that the roast potatoes are magnificent.

​

It is also a dish with a description that does not world build, quote anyone, or have that light-hearted humor we love. It's simply describing the dish like it is the greatest thing to have ever graced the Hush House

​

>It's the dripping that elevates it. Roast potatoes are a feast for the senses, but the dripping deepens the flavour profile, makes the experience continue through the machinery of the mouth to become a kind of journey.

​

Not even the dishes that are made with ingredients that *don't exist* are described to be as delicious. Alcohol blessed by The Grail herself? "earthy".

​

All of this adds up to me wondering if there's an official "Magnificent Roast Potatoes" recipe that inspired Alexis Kennedy to add it into Book of Hours.

​

Thoughts? Especially from Mr. Kennedy, who is free to share his magnificent roast potatoes recipe with me if it actually does exist.
