I Read Stories: The Magnolia Returns by Eden Royce
The Magnolia Returns by Eden Royce in Podcastle The Magnolia is a butcher’s shop. Sometimes it returns for a short while. It has all the old-fashioned cuts that poor people used to eat. Sometimes you can’t get them because they’re not in supermarkets. Sometimes you can’t get them because now rich people get them all now. (The cuts referenced are fish heads, pork jowl, chicken feet, and ox heart) You can’t get them any more, not easily. But the Magnolia is a magic butcher’s shop. It can give you what you need, and maybe what you want. And that food might just restore something, something lost, something taken, something missing.
