Trying to explain to my wife that unless it's cooked in cast iron, it can't legally be called cornbread.

"Basic Roleplaying: Creatures shows off the breadth of the [#BRP] system... it’s also a stealth update for any game that runs off of Chaosium’s d100 systems. This means Call of Cthulhu, RuneQuest, and even Rivers of London all get a host of new creatures." — Bell of Lost Souls.
