Emily serves up two spicy specials on this week's menu. First, bite into a slice of Crocotta with a dubious side of Leucrocotta, but don't let this one linger under your tongue for too long, or you may start seeing things. Then, sit back and listen to a story about the potential inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula, as you tear into a big, fresh piece of Vetala jerky.
