For those of you who prefer your kobold... a little higher class than Kobold MeatLoaf
Kobold Burgundy
Cut one skinned and de-boned 20 pound kobold into 2-inch chunks. Brown in a little oil, then pour on 80 oz of red wine. Stir it around. Then add:
1/3 cup salt
2 ½ teaspoons pepper
1/4 cup paprika
1/4 cup marjoram
20 onions, sliced
5 pounds fresh mushrooms
20 seeded green peppers, cut in rings.
Cover and simmer at low heat for 5 hours. Then take the kobold and vegetables out of the broth and keep them warm somewhere. Skim as much fat as possible off the broth (this is easier if you are using desert kobolds which have a lower fat to body-mass index). If you have the time, semi-freeze the broth so the solidified fat is easy to remove. Then boil it down to thicken it a bit, and stir in a cup of cornflour mixed to a smooth paste in cold water. Re-introduce the meat and vegetables.

Wait a minute! Kobolds are supposed to be disposable? How come I never got the memo? My kobolds regularly mess up the PCs.

The PCs happily made an alliance with the kobolds, beat up the goblins, and took out Belak and his cronies. Knowing they were planning to take them out on their way out, the kobolds caught them in a disadvantageous position (climbing out of a pit
), disarmed them, and marched them out of the Citadel at crossbow-point. Some of my players still want to go back and kill them.
I'm looking at an encounter in the near future between the party (now four lvl 5 PCs and the druid's 5HD advanced wolf companion) and 24 kobolds. Just 24 normal kobolds - an EL5 encounter, which the PCs should handily win. Except that I'm planning to send them home whimpering. Beware the wrath of the kobolds! Muahaahaa!!

I just wrote up a quick little encounter for my players, just four Kobolds (with 21 character levels between them ). I figure it'll throw my players for a pleasant surprise, given that in the previous encounter they fought a band of Ogres which actually had a lower CR's and an equivalent EL then my little group of Kobolds.

"Supposed to be disposable?" What's up with that?
IMC kobolds are treated like any PHB race. A group of 6 kobolds could very well be an adventuring party just like the PCs. The same with any of the goblinoid-ish critters. I see no reason to pull them "as-is" out of the MM.
Just because in previous editions kobolds couldn't take character levels doesn't mean they're still pushovers! I mean, c'mon. I thought we evolved past that.
