Roger Ransom's Recipe for Counterfactual History Pudding

Ingredients:

2 parts historical plausibility
1 part common sense
1 part imagination

Mix ingredients until they are blended into a smooth even texture. If the texture seems uneven or coarse, try a little more common sense. If the pudding seems gray and boring, add more imagination.

Carefully pour ingredients into a mold shaped in the form of a well-defined historical setting.

Allow to set until pudding has firmly jelled. Be careful not to remove pudding from historical setting.

Serve with a large dose of skepticism, and remember that there is no proof in this pudding!

Bon Appetit!
