Everlasting eyeballs!

Among the treats in last week's Halloween update was the return of the Eyeball Stew with a 'supercharged' XP gain. It was only made available for a limited time, and was removed from the Basic Stove on Tuesday.

But Halloween is about tricks as well as treats. And my faithful neighbour Fat Bear has made a remarkable discovery - the Eyeball Stew may be gone, but it isn't rotting! Here's a shot of the stew ready to serve on one of Fat Bear's appliances:

Everlasting Eyeball Stew at Fat Bear's

This image was taken yesterday and at the time of writing the situation is unchanged - this 5 hour recipe remains in its serving state. Of course being the revolting dish that it is, the thing looks spoilt at all times, but the flies are staying away.

At first I assumed that there was some kind of wormhole in the coding which was preventing the stew from spoiling because it was no longer part of the game. But Fat Bear has had her Mad Scientist conducting several experiments, and it appears that the Eyeball Stew never did spoil, not even prior to its removal on Tuesday!

That's quite an oversight by the gamemakers, and one which is rather ironic considering the putrid appearance of the stew!

Of course the question now is this: how long will the Eyeball Stew continue to defy the laws of Restaurant Story? I've no idea, although it would be quite amusing if TeamLava leave it as it is, meaning that Fat Bear can keep the stew as a relic of Halloween 2014 forever more!
