The only two dishes from the Weird of Hali that I remember are cheese polenta and the salmagundi. Cheese polenta from sheer repetition, and the pirate salmagundi as the only dish I couldn't imagine actually eating.
So if you gave away the salmagundi recipe for free I wouldn't want the book nearly as much :)
I'll also say that I've never wished so much for a fictional thing to be real (including my Moosecarbuncles acceptance letter at age 11) as shoggoths - in relation to human society they fill the same ecological niches as rats, racoons, roaches and ants, and probably eat bed bugs too, and yet they respect personal boundaries and you can have a conversation with one.
