For some reason, this title worries me the most out of all of them.

Oh, me too. Me too. Someone is going to be Noble. The title lends itself to a multitude of Disturbing Possibilities, yes. Although my disturbing thought was more along the lines of a gamma who goes after people he/she perceives as 'sinners' to consume their sins (and maybe more), rather than one of the WTF doing something Noble and stupid. An idle thought: the sin-eater voluntarily (in theory) takes on the sins of a dying person, so that the deceased can go beyond with a clean soul. On the other side of that coin, we have the scapegoat, upon whom the sins of the community are forced, so that they can feel better about themselves. It seems to me that it doesn't take much for the sin-eater and the scapegoat to trade places. |

Suspect it doesn't have anything to do with/is at all an allusion to Carla Speed McNeil's Sin Eater. More's the pity.

Also suspect it has nothing to do with the spectacularly awful Heath Ledger movie of the same name. Thank God.

You beat me to it. It's worth mentioning that McNeil goes into some interesting discussions on the psychology of the sin-eater and how they are treated in the society she creates. Strictly speaking the book is Finder. The first story arc is "Sin-Eater." The second story arc, "King of the Cats," also deals with Jaeger's role as Sin-Eater as well. |

I just want to know how long before this thread starts to be about how best to cook Sin, and swapping Sin recipes...
1 tbsp grated Lust
2 cloves Wrath
zest of Sloth
1 peeled Gluttony
Mix well, heat on Gas Mark 3 for ten minutes. Run far away.

Nah, sloth is bitter (unless it is Debauched Sloth, which is quite hard to find these days). Pride's juicier.

Nah, sloth is bitter That's why you only use the zest. That's where all the aromatic oils are. |

Don't be silly. Clearly, it's best to make a Lust syrup, and caramelize it, and then add cream. I find Wrath to be too sharp, but a squeeze of Envy doesn't go amiss. Salt with finely-grained Pride, pour into a pre-baked Gluttony crust. Add coarsely chopped Sloth to the caramel, and cool. When set, pour bittersweet greed ganache over the top, and chill.

Bah. I make that tart over the course of two-three days, in bits and pieces when I have time. Bake crusts, stick 'em in the fridge. Make caramel and fill shell, stick it in the fridge. Make ganache and pour it, stick it in the fridge. It's really only 30-60min at a time, when you spread it out like that, and it's soooo worth it when it's done.
