Discord is one unusual villain, not only by physical means, but his personality does fit in the description of his name.
He is a creature known as a Draquonacus (a mythical beast that is made up of different animal parts) and considered to be The Lord of Choas. His special powers ussually consist of changing reality around him to use for his advantage. He orginally caused a lot of trouble in Equestria by making inanimated turn to life, making ponies completely dilirious by his "Discored touch", and makeing chacolate rain fall from the sky. But he was soon imprisoned in stone by Celestia and Luna and was stuck in a sinlge pose for nearly a thousand years. Until he got out....
Discord was introduced durring the first two episodes of Season two, known as "The Return to Harmony" when he got out of his stone prison by the CMC (Cutie Mark Crusaders) by creating a ruckus in front of the statue. From that day he caused a whole lot of trouble by turning the whole world upside down and cause the Mane 6 become the opposite of what they represent. Although he was later defeted by Twilight Sparkle and rest of the elements (who were turned back to normal) and refreezing him back into his stationary prison. Although that was not the last time Discord was featured.
In seaseson 3 "Keep Calm and Flutter On" , Discord was realeased once again by the Mane 6 in hopes to reform him to use his powers for good. Although when he was realeased, he was deciveing everyone that he is changing by Fluttershy's kindness. Although, later on in the episode, Fluttershy used kindness and freindship to not only use his powers for good but to give discord the gift of freindship. It sounds cliche but it is a good episode neither the less and does show a new side to Discord past his psychopathic nature.
I originally wanted to write this for April fools day but, real life got in the way and I didnt find the artwork in time . Allthough I do wanted to bring him out for other reasons. One of those reasons is that Discord is not only my favorite villian of My Little Pony: Freindship is Magic but because I wanted to make something a little bit more unussual than what I created in the past. I wanted to make the first ever villain dish without emfisizing the evil as the main theme. I want to create something that does not only feature his mental unstability and sly untrustworthiness, but I want to also feature his reformed side and his cunning, manipulative swagger. See if you can find a certain reference in the ingredient list that reveals his nonsensical humor and sophisticated wordplay.
Discords Chaotic Gumbo
Serves 8
Soup
2 tsp. Of Olive oil or enough to coat the bottom of the pot
1/2 a red onion, Chopped
80 oz. of Chicken Broth or 10 Cups
2 cups of Kale, Chopped
Meat
3/4 lbs. of Ham off the Bone, Cubed
1/2 lbs. of Shredded Chicken
1-16 oz. Polish Kilbassa or Andoulli Sausage (fully cooked), Sliced into medallions
Herbs and Spices
6 sprigs of Parsley and 5 Basil Leaves, Chopped
1 Packet of Cocoa powder or 1 oz.
2 tsp each of Paprika and Ground Chipotle powder
a pinch of turmeric and cinnamon
1. Coat the bottom of the pot with olive oil and cook the onions for in the pot for about 2 minutes or until translucent. Add the Meat when the onions are done and sauté for about 3 minutes.
2. Add the Chicken Broth, the Herbs, and Spices and stir until incorporated. Bring it up to a boil and lower to simmer. Simmer for about 1 hour for the flavors to blend together.
3. Add the Kale for the last 10 minutes of simmering. Serve the soup into separate bowls with soft rolls and a salad with a cool cream dressing to help cleanse the palette. Enjoy.
This gumbo works really well if you let it sit in the fridge overnight and let the flavors mature. (Somewhat of an old trick I learned from Anthony Bourdain's Le Halles cookbook.) Although you can also let it simmer for about an hour or two to let it sink in but its mostly on preferense. It also works well with "The Return to Harmony" Episodes and "Keep Calm and Flutter On" to enjoy his spicy evil with his sweet chocolate charm.
I would like to thank famosity on Deviant Art for the Discord Artwork on top. Feel free to see her Pony and other artworks on Deviant Art and give her some kudos for create that perfect pose for Discord.
So as said in the last post, I am starting to do characters at random based on Seasonal fare. If you want to see my recent article I did on seasonal foods and the current issue behind it: feel free to check out my other website, Journey of a Chef, on the tab above. Although I also want to ask the readers, "What character would you like me to do next?" Feel free to leave a comment below or Tweet me @chefkyro on Twitter for your suggestions.
I have to admit, this was a long post. Its just been a while since I did an update but there will be more soon. Although feel free to leave any suggestions for possible characters to cover next or how I can improve the website. Although for now I shall leave you with a song about Discord from the ever so famous Livingtombstone, who is his birthday today. Happy Birthday Man and as always thanks for reading and cooking.
