Dawn_of_an_Age 02-12-07, 02:43 PM	Which would you chose? I thought about Horrid Boar Bacon, but something just didnt feel right about it.:yuck:
yossarius 02-12-07, 03:17 PM	Certainly the Dire boar bacon would last longer (Dire boar being a large animal vs mage-bred being a medium), I have to think the magebred boar bacon might have a sweeter taste. Still, I think magebred boar bacon would be much more expensive, and you ultimately wouldn't get much for your money, other than the knowledge that the pig in question knew he was destined for the dinner table.
Splendide 02-12-07, 04:01 PM	If the boars were being bred for bacon, you would naturally find that the magebred bacon would taste better, as Vadalis would've gone to great effort to ensure that.
goblin_pride 02-12-07, 04:35 PM	other than the knowledge that the pig in question knew he was destined for the dinner table. You know, that calls to the fore all sorts of theological and spiritual issues.
Syltorian 02-12-07, 07:45 PM	Why chose? Dire boars can be magebred too! :P
Darth Syntax 02-12-07, 08:23 PM	True, but I find that wild dire boar has a much richer, earthier flavor to it, and so lends itself far better to braising and the like. Magebred animals have a slight, well, effervescent flavor (i think its all the thaums involved really) and it tends to take the character out of the food.

Magebred animals have a slight, well, effervescent flavor (i think its all the thaums involved really) and it tends to take the character out of the food. And the Wizard boards hit a new low...
UnderworldLord 02-12-07, 09:24 PM	Read the thread about the ice cream. This doesn't surprise me. But if you're gonna do it do it right: mage bred dire boar bacon! And Horrid wouldn't necessarily be bad. Might be a bit tangy.

Might be a bit tangy. My repeated visits to these boards just continue to reafirm my utter lack of confidence in the human race. Of course, I suppose im partially to blame, by coming back every day, I just pour salt on the wound.
goblin_pride 02-12-07, 10:13 PM	I just pour salt on the wound. Ooh, kinky.
Sturm Jaeger 02-13-07, 12:05 AM	You forgot about wereboar bacon, and shifter-descended-from-wereboar bacon.
taski 02-13-07, 12:54 AM	"Some mighty fine dire boars you have here, Cerl." "Them boars sure will eat anythin'. Why, just t'other day, we fed 'em a wearboar who choked on his magebread bacon."
Medesha 02-13-07, 01:10 AM	I join Mike McArtor, James Sutter, Rone Barton and others in the League of Vegetarian Game Designers. So I only eat Dire Tofurkey Bacon. -Amber Scott
Sturm Jaeger 02-13-07, 01:29 AM	Dogs don't know it's not dire boar bacon!
goblin_pride 02-13-07, 07:13 AM	I join Mike McArtor, James Sutter, Rone Barton and others in the League of Vegetarian Game Designers. So I only eat Dire Tofurkey Bacon. -Amber Scott Tofurkey? So you eat Tofu Turkey bacon? Ok, that's it. I've finally heard it all. You can add all the different names you want for it, but tofu is tofu and no matter what shape you make it and how you cook it, it's still bloody tofu. And the more vegetarians I see, the more I'm beginning to think Soylent Green wasn't such a far-fetched idea*. *although we're gonna have to figure out a way to fatten up the vegetarians before we can implement those plans. Have you ever noticed that people that eat so healthy are always a bit overly thin?
cypher_zero 02-13-07, 09:50 AM	Yea, it makes 'em kinda stringy when ya cook 'em. cypher
Dawn_of_an_Age 02-13-07, 10:49 AM	Still, I think magebred boar bacon would be much more expensive, and you ultimately wouldn't get much for your money, other than the knowledge that the pig in question knew he was destined for the dinner table. That sounds like "Awakened Bacon":D to me. Thats short for "Awakened Magebred Boar Bacon", though I suppose it could apply to any number of Boar types.
Syltorian 02-13-07, 11:03 AM	True, but I find that wild dire boar has a much richer, earthier flavor to it, and so lends itself far better to braising and the like. Magebred animals have a slight, well, effervescent flavor (i think its all the thaums involved really) and it tends to take the character out of the food. That's a good point, although the city-bred of Sharn would not know the difference. I wonder whether one can feed the boar potions of prestidigitation, to enhance their flavour?
DarkWarriorKarg 02-13-07, 12:14 PM	Tofurkey? So you eat Tofu Turkey bacon? Ok, that's it. I've finally heard it all.

Have you ever noticed that people that eat so healthy are always a bit overly thin? Tofu is of type (ooze). It's related to the strawberry gelatenous cube.
Medesha 02-13-07, 12:42 PM	Mmmm...strawberry soy pudding...
dunkeykong 02-14-07, 02:59 AM	Ooh, kinky. By the way, goblin_pride, thats qouted now...
goblin_pride 02-14-07, 09:26 AM	By the way, goblin_pride, thats qouted now... Yeah, I noticed, but I'm a bit heart-broken by it. In print it just doesn't have the right flair. That's one of those things that you have to say with a bit of a flourish.
Raziel_Brokodar 02-15-07, 02:08 AM	magebread must make a wicked sandwich
iKitten 02-15-07, 09:45 AM	Can we magebreed them so that they want to be eaten, to the point of volunteering? You know, appease all the Druids for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Also, the ability to float like a Beholder would be nice. That way the meat stays tender all over.
UnderworldLord 02-15-07, 11:04 AM	I say we make awakened magebred animals, and give them an education system about how their only purpose in life is to die to feed others. Its like practicing world domination through education!
davethebrave371 02-15-07, 12:25 PM	DIRE MAGEBRED BOAR OF LEGEND Yeah, that's right. I went there.
Dawn_of_an_Age 02-15-07, 04:47 PM	DIRE MAGEBRED BOAR OF LEGEND Yeah, that's right. I went there. I suppose the taste of that bacon would be....well...Legendary!:rofl: Yeah, thats right. I went there.
davethebrave371 02-15-07, 10:28 PM	I suppose the taste of that bacon would be....well...Legendary!:rofl: Yeah, thats right. I went there. I officially want to play a ranger in a comedy Eberron campaign who has the ultimate goal of catching and devouring the bacon of this singular delicacy, and then selling the rest of the meat to some Inspired noble, which will cause Dal Quor to become coterminous in an effort to sample the delicious pork.

Melvin the Mediocre 02-21-07, 01:46 PM	Why do I smell an "Awaken Bacon" spell coming along?
yossarius 02-21-07, 02:04 PM	Wakey, Wakey, Dire boar bacey.
dunkeykong 02-21-07, 03:17 PM	Why do I smell an "Awaken Bacon" spell coming along? This thread is wrong on so many different levels...
UnderworldLord 02-21-07, 03:45 PM	I can trust this isn't the only thread here like that. Have you seen the Forgotten Freedom?
dunkeykong 02-21-07, 04:06 PM	I can trust this isn't the only thread here like that. Have you seen the Forgotten Freedom? good point. I imagine theres a special level in hell for Wizards message board posters.
UnderworldLord 02-21-07, 05:16 PM	I believe its called 'Xoriat' for Eberronian board posters.
Count Nerindil Van Seraph 02-21-07, 07:37 PM	I've heard that celestial dire boar bacon tastes... divine... But enough of this punishment. I choose magebred boar bacon. I am a count, after all, and a count can only consume the most frivolously expensive of foodstuffs.
UnderworldLord 02-21-07, 09:35 PM	In that case, have celestial magebred boar bacon of legend! Or fiendish dire boar bacon, if you like that tangy taste of evil!
Elemental_Elf 02-22-07, 12:55 AM	Bacon from a Fiendish Half-Dragon horrid Boar? ... I'd fall on that grenade. :D
mightyix 02-22-07, 01:34 PM	The best bacon out there is: Titanic Horrid Magebred Dire Boar bacon. Why is it the best, do you ask? Because casting True Resurrection on it during a fancy dinner party makes for a great distraction when you want to steal the crown jewels. Almost as good a distraction as casting the same spell on the druid's dragonhide full plate. --- mightyix - a man who once started an intergalactic war by switching a crate of vegetarian alien food with a crate of bacon and blood sausage.
UnderworldLord 02-22-07, 04:35 PM	If you can true res the dragon from the druid's armor, who needs the crown jewels?
goblin_pride 02-22-07, 05:29 PM	If you can true res the dragon from the druid's armor, who needs the crown jewels? Dude, it's all about the bling.
Seth of the First Brigade 02-26-07, 12:37 AM	Dire Boar Bacon is good, Magebred Boar Chops are good.:D I had to do it. What would a Pulp Campaign Setting be with quotes from Pulp Fiction.
WitheringSolid 02-26-07, 09:28 AM	Dire Boar Bacon is good, Magebred Boar Chops are good.:D I had to do it. What would a Pulp Campaign Setting be with quotes from Pulp Fiction. DAGNABBIT..I was JUST about to post the very same thing..

davethebrave371 02-26-07, 12:07 PM	Let's be serious for a second here. I, as a person in real life, can't stand any sort of pig product. I don't like hot dogs. I don't like pork chops. I don't like any sort of thing from a pig...except bacon. For some reason, that one pig product is absolutely delicious...but I find everything else from that animal absolutely disgusting. So, I have to say, that even TITANIC CELESTIAL DIRE MAGEBRED BOAR OF LEGEND chops would be good enough for me to sample, and then offer my plate to someone else. But bacon...give me the bacon of a horrid corrupted fiendish pig, and I'd mow that stuff down like it was my last meal.
goblin_pride 02-26-07, 01:06 PM	But bacon...give me the bacon of a horrid corrupted fiendish pig, and I'd mow that stuff down like it was my last meal. And it might well be......

mightyix 02-27-07, 01:00 PM	AGH VILE DAMAGE IN MY INTESTINES!!! I guess that's one way (and an awkward one) of casting cloudkill.
goblin_pride 02-27-07, 02:09 PM	I guess that's one way (and an awkward one) of casting cloudkill. It's not awkward, it's a perfectly natural bodily function. Apparently our bodies were designed to produce those sounds and the noxious odors associated with them. I think it's part of the "mating dance" or something.....

davethebrave371 02-27-07, 08:42 PM	I died producing that cloudkill. But it was like a caster level of 90.
Dawn_of_an_Age 03-06-07, 02:22 PM	No more bacon? :bigeyes:
goblin_pride 03-06-07, 02:24 PM	No more bacon? :bigeyes: I'm not sure, but it would be safe to say we hammed it up enough, wouldn't it?
Dawn_of_an_Age 03-06-07, 02:38 PM	I'm not sure, but it would be safe to say we hammed it up enough, wouldn't it? Your probably right....:( :bigeyes: :D
