Tavern Night

This dish's twist table (d6)

1–2	The classic stands. No twist. Cook it as written.
3	Herb swap. Add a few fresh sage leaves under the cheese
4	Acid strike. Swap the cranberry for a spoon of grainy mustard and pickles
5	Plating challenge. Serve warm gravy on the side for a dip, at the break only
6	Host's boon. The Host picks any twist above, or the table invents one. The safety rule still applies.

Roll before you start cooking. No twist ever changes a time, a temperature or how done something must be.
