Whitby Abbey, on the coast of North Yorkshire, is the setting of a curious English legend. It is said that the curly ammonites that erode from the cliffs there are snakes, which were turned to stone after a local abbess prayed for God to banish them.

For this recipe, you will need ... A snake, and a pinch of faith.

@thekingsdaughter4233 5 лет назад

I was going to recommend about two scant cups of faith for this recipe, but then I remembered what the Master Recipe Book says how much can be done with faith the size of a mustard grain. ;-) Potent stuff, that. So a pinch should be fine after all! 👼
