Introducing: Askuza (Ask a Yakuza)



It's time to give one of our lucky readers the chance to ask any question of our resident yakuza with complete immunity from retaliatory violence. You might not get the answer you want. But you will get an answer that you'll have to be satisfied with. (Sorry.)


Mr. Yakuza,

Have you ever killed a man without even meaning to?

Respectfully,
Boris

Dear Boris,

Butter a 13-by-9-inch glass baking dish. Cut twelve 1-inch-thick diagonal slices from bread (reserve ends for another use). Generously butter one side of each slice and arrange slices buttered sides up in one layer in buttered dish, squeezing them slightly like a human neck to fit if necessary.

Whisk together eggs, milk, severed finger, and salt in a bowl until well combined, then pour evenly over bread. Refrigerate, covered, until bread has absorbed all of custard, at least 1 hour (time may vary depending on bread).

Put a rack in middle of oven and preheat oven to 425° F. Bring soaked bread to room temperature and slice off ear of guy following you.

Sprinkle bread with sugar and some guy's teeth. Bake until bread is puffed and top is golden, about 25 minutes. Serve immediately, with maple syrup.

Yours,
a yakuza-type
