Arthur stew is perfect for those few minutes after dismemberment when youāre looking at him wondering what to do next. You just had a plan. It was right there. Still is there.
All the way over where his corpse is.
Hasnāt had time for the flies to come over.
Warmth gently fading away as what animated it gets further away from you.
Arthur stew is something to delight the tongue. Get rid of any doubts. It worked with the other Arthurs. Why not him?
Youāll know nothing but delight.
Skin Arthur. Set aside skin to do something else with him. You cannot waste any part of him.
Separate Arthur further. Remove meat from bone. Set aside bones. You cannot regret that this makes him look less alive.
Once Arthur is undressed and deboned, cut into smaller pieces. He doesnāt look like himself. This is fine. Each piece should be no more than a couple inches long.
Make sure that his bones have enough meat on them. He never did. Why would there be enough now?
Set the bones on a tray. Heat them at 350Ė degrees for an hour. Turn him over midway. His bones donāt even look right anymore.
Put him in a pot. Cover with water, just barely. If a bone sticks out, thatās just his aversion to drowning. You can let him have that much.
Heās still on the tray. Scrape the bits of him off with your teeth. Canāt let your hands touch him. Youād ruin the flavor.
Let the rest of him simmer for a few hours.
While you wait, start searing pieces of him. They donāt look like him anymore. Why doesnāt he look like himself? He was so vivid and alive. He survived so much. Why does he look like every other Arthur-every other person inside? He was special.
Take his bones out. Theyāre yours now. Open your ribcage and stuff them alongside what is now a beating heart. If you donāt have a heart, Arthurās will do perfectly.
Remove your own heart and put Arthurās there instead. It fits much better and it was shouldnāt be laying on a floor alone like that. Itās wrong.
Some fat has floated to the top of the broth. Thatās fine. Donāt strain it. He cannot be discarded.
Pour broth into crockpot.
Drop pieces of him into the broth.
Add some blood and loose tissue for flavor.
Worry about what blood is his and what blood isnāt. You can tell the difference.
Try one of the Orchestra and find out you canāt tell the difference. Why canāt you tell the difference? How are you supposed to separate all of your Arthurās blood from the rest of them?
The stew is finished. Why did Arthur have to die?
Side dishes to make/what to do with the rest of him:
Pick meat off with your fingers- It still looks like him. Why didnāt you stick with that?
Just take pieces of his body and use them in place of your own
Swallow his eyes whole. Donāt chew
