But then the Balrog would have been stark white, and it looked more green to
me.
So it's actually a crown of broccoli, with the untrimmed leaves as "wings."
As any civilized person or wizard knows, broccoli is best when lightly
steamed and eaten with cheese sauce! :-)

Blanch, then drain and serve with oyster sauce. Better still, serve
choi sum in the same manner.

Not possible. Gandalf has been labelled "Wise". A wise one wouldn't force
that stuff down his throat, even with butter, pickles and beer...

Nah, the cheese sauce goes with the cauliflower. Broccoli only
needs to be steamed and served as it is.

But Gandalf was a child of Illuvitar, and we all know that you can
never get a child to eat broccoli. Besides, there is the internal
heat to consider. Obviously an infernal cauliflower/habanero
hybrid. Just the sort of nefarious thing Morgoth might breed in
his fury over being unable to create.

I believe, sir, that you are thinking of Caulrogs. The difference
between caulrogs and balrogs is subtle, but nonetheless important, for
caulrogs are not actually balrogs at all.

But like you point out, it could NOT be a Caulrog, since it WAS a Balrog.
It was a *Balroccoli*, which as everyone knows IS a type of Balrog
http://teunc.wikispaces.org/balroccoli
So Gandalf killed and then ate (w/cheese sauce) the last of its species, a
true crime against nature!

Atually there are two theories about that:
The Oriental explanation says that Cauliflower is a Latinized corruption
of the Indian word "Kali-flower", which means "black flower." This word
is rich with symbolism, and is often used in Balrog alchemical lore.
Balrogs as "flame wreathed in shadow", perfectly symbolized by "flowers
(covered in) black."
A western interpretation offers the suggestion that because Cauliflowers
cause flatulence (flammable gas to be produced in the gut), and this
phenomenon was naturally of some delight at Balrog parties, one
mathematically inclined sect of Balrogs thought that they contain the
souls of dead Balrogs. Therefore Balrogs refuse to eat cauliflowers,
but revere them and hold them in great esteem.

the trouble with cauliflowers is that killing them isn't much fun. too
easy. pizzas are more of a challenge: the war between the balrogs and
the pizzas was long, bitter, and tasty.

Yes, I agree. The trouble with vegetable, or even fruit, wars is they're so
self-righteous: "It's for your own good," that sort of thing. I think the
most rewarding military action of all, so far, has been Dessert Storm.

Yeah, that took the starch right out of the rest of us for a while,

cake made with mashed potatoes, and of course they're a key ingredient in
Needhams. When life hands you taters.....

Clearly it is the ideal barbecue spit, one that hunts the meat as well

This truth has been suppressed for too long. I suspect Steuard of being

I think the goblins are utensils helping the barbecue manage the meats.
Of course, they could sometimes get caught in the flames.
Yet I am not sure since the caves of Moredore (sorry for the spelling)
could very well be a kind of giant roasting pit. Then, of course,
goblins might be seasonings (some sort of pepper I would imagine). And
of course the Balrog would be a coal.

There is a Jamaican receipe which involves burying meats with hot coals
and seasonings and leave it all to simmer for many hours. The result is
delicious.
Now, in the cave of Moredore...I am think that...
You have your coal...Balrog.
You have your muskeet...Ants (I know we didn't see any...but :))
You have your meet....Goblins (I know, but raw meat is tasty either)
You have your trofils...Uri'ki (I know they were created by ya da ya
da...)
You have your covered pit....The mountain.
Now my conjecture is that the dwarfs dug up the pot too quick and
exposed the unfinished Goblins.
No wonder the Balrog was so pissed...being the conscientious coal that
they are.

OK....I see I have to carry this myself...
Elves are well cooked.
Dwarves have been cooked well.
Humans might be a little rear.
Goblins are downright raw...though perhaps seasoned. :)
Uri'ki are possibly raw like Goblins but may also be Pre-Elf Jerky...I
will need some help here.
Now, if you wished, one could sustain quite a mythology on the premise
of Balrog as a tool of refinement for races (intentionally or
otherwise) to the delight of Illuvator.
Presumably Illuvator need not destroy to enjoy his delights, when they
are done, but rather his consumption results in the opposit.
Am I shouting in the dark?

The Dwarves tell no tale; but even as outdoor cookware was the foundation of
their wealth, so also it was their destruction: they grilled too greedily
and too deep, and disturbed that from which they fled, the Charcoal Briquet.
(There will probably be s'more of this.)

Ode to the remnants of Mordore....
....perhaps the Uri'ki are deviled Elves? But I don't know the recipe
for deviling
The watcher....perhaps a scrap hungry dog...or maybe a rag! The last
thing you want is a dirty cooking area.

For some strange reason, this thread is making me hungry! :-)

I'm here to help:
(Me) Six drops of the essence of terror, Five drops of sinister sauce,
(You) When the stirring's done may I lick the spoon?
(Me) Of course - ha ha - of course.

Well, it's certainly *one* of the last things. And speaking of dogs:

Probably everyone else likes you because you're smart. I like you because
you're sick!
Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Sick or not, I thought I'd finish it.
The "dutch oven" of the earth was disturbed
And the race being cooked was unearthed
And their raw uncooked self vengenced the rest
In the caverns where cackling was heard
And the greed of the dwarves was bemoaned
And their loss was considered atoned
So the matter was done, the mountain was shun,
And attentions returned to their homes
But the rawness return not to coal
For some Goblins wondered middle earth
Where rumors were raised wherever they grazed
By the few but lucky whose feet did not fail
So the humans would gather and plot their assault
But the raw uncooked things would eat them up raw
For their flesh would be poison to touch or to smell
as assault became nothing but food for their maw.
But the sun sought vengence, itself, on the belch
And rendered and burned up their bodies and soul
So they cowarded in caves, only walking at night
To disappeared from the face of the earth.

One more refinement and I am done...
--hey Laurie your comments are welcome.

(Insert Goblin/Human War here)

Then the sun, in shock, sought vengence, itself
When founded the Goblins it ignited their flesh
Till' they cowarded in caves deep in the earth
To return only when they were done...well.
