Well, if I change the algorithm to : 
  $qry = $DB->Query("SELECT * FROM recipes WHERE type = '$type' ORDER 
+BY rand()
limit $quantity") || die "Got error on select: $Mysql::db_errstr\n";
                                                                      
+          
  for ($i=0; $i<$qry->numrows; $i++) {
    @row = $qry->fetchrow or warn "recipes didn't find a matching row"
+;
    print "\@row is assigned @row\n";
    $j = 0;
    foreach my $bug (@row) {
      $athlete[$i][$j++] = $bug ;
      print "\$i\$j is assigned $i:$j\n";
      print "\$athlete[\$i,\$j] is assigned the value $athlete[$i][$j]
+\n";
      print "\$bug is assigned the value $bug\n";
    }
  }
}

then it yields:
