Dec 26, 2008 22:01:51 I just figured I would throw this up here to hear some other people's suggestions. I am more familiar with such minute details in the Eberron setting. I don't even know which book I would look in to find the answer to something like this (in regards to the realms)... not for Loudwater, or the regions surrounding it.

-Furthermore, as per Volo's Guide to Waterdeep and the North, "[The River Delimbiyr] is home to many szorp, a brown, trout-like fish whose white flesh is tasty and which forms much of the daily diet of the inhabitants of Loudwater."

Feb 28, 2009 21:53:04 Don't forget Mist cheese: "The Loudwater Vale produces some
of the richest cheeses in the North. The elves call this soft white curd the ethereal cheese, for if sliced thinly it becomes translucent while retaining all of its succulent bite. Mist cheese owes its appearance and taste to the practice of ripening the rounds in caves, and the unique taste of mist has never been duplicated elsewhere."

Mar 01, 2009 11:36:34 Fish, Cheese, and probably lots of peasant-dishes, like Stew, soup, Ratatouille, Goulash, Sheperd's Pie...

Or any other 'thing' that is just a bunch of local ingredients thrown together in a pot. ;)

Mar 02, 2009 21:12:09 Shepard's Pie is Irish cuisine, you CENSORED traitor!!

Regardless, cheese would be a staple of life anywhere. I don't get Loadwater being the Wisconsin of the Realms in any fashion.

Just stupid, man.

Mar 03, 2009 14:33:47 Well, my point is that there is ALWAYS some sort of peasant-dish for every area, and while the ingredients vary by region, its all basically the same - Stew.

You add more water, you call it soup. You add too little water, you call it a casserole.

Just throw a bunch of veggies and any meat you happen to have lying around, and you call that 'local cuisine'. ;)

Add rice and its Oriental or Spanish, with noodles, it's Italian or Chinese...

Throw a ton of curry on it,and you have an Indian dish.. Its all the same crap, but with different spices.

Let me call my publisher so you can write a CENSORED cookbook.

Mar 06, 2009 22:08:11 Thats weird... I had an idea for a cookbook the other day, but my sister shot-it-down.

I think I could have made a fortune with the college crowd - it was called Cooking with Garbage. :D

Hell... in today's economy, I may have had a bestseller there.
