From: A Kitchen for Artists

Flambé is rather popular in certain parts of London; perhaps flaming food is more appealing when one lives in a dim cavern. The difficulty is finding a liquor that will burn and is simultaneously not too poisonous.

Game Instructions: This dish can be served to patrons, and it is an even more effective feast when served at the Tracklayer's Union. It may also make a pleasing gift for a certain Master, if it is present at Station VIII.

Unlocked with Current Culinary Concoction exactly 20 (Compose an enticing Fungal Pâté), 5 x Hand-picked Peppercaps, 1 x Bottle of Strangling Willow Absinthe
