Food.

[dying_inside]

Certain events have lead me to think about the food ingame. And I would like to see  some more. However me thiks there needs to be some idea's of food  which coud be put in game.
So I would like to see some idea's on food that you would  like to see in game.
keep it  planeshift etc
Name and describe it.

One Idea I have is a Tefusang steak sandwhich.

Two slices of thick bread, salad and Fried mushrooms, with a steak of Tefusang meat cooked on a flat rock over a fire with sprinkled herbs.

I remembered something similar with this thread :}

[The Shadow Nose]

This is a sort of staple food eaten by Enkidukai almost all year round. Its commonly eaten by the poorer ones who can't affort Tefusang or Ulbernaught meat.

Rat Jerky (simple)

Utensils:
1 bowl
a drying platform (a special device used to dry things)

Marinade:
1 bottle of vinegar
1 dash of dried herbs

meat:
10 piece of sliced raw rat meat

directions
add the vinigar and dried herbs into the bowl to make a marinade
place the sliced raw rat meat into the marinade to make marinaded sliced rat meat
place the marinaded sliced rat meat into the stove and set it on the drying platform and wait

soon it will dry into a nice and high-protien food that doesn't go bad
clean out the bowl before you start again, marinade should only be used once

more enjoyable recipies can be made by adding to the marinade or by using different types of sliced meat

optional spices:
crushed garlic
firepod sauce (like hot sauce)
crushed black peppers

optional meats:
tefusang meat
ubernaught meat

Note: insects like clackers and trepors make awful jerky.

==================

I have the feeling you would have to boil the rat  meat before this though, as there  are variouse "cough" impurities with living in a sewer....

And thank you for  the link Karyuu.

[The Shadow Nose]

Sewer? Gah, no self respecting Enkidukai eats sewer rats! We only eat the rats who live in our graineries or are out in the field.

And actually the recipe origionated when the Enkids were a roaming nomadic tribe. We would catch rats in the fields and in their burrows. There was no risk of infection with that... I hardly understand why there even is a sewer in Hydlaa. I seems more a breeding ground for monsters and fanatics than any sort of waste disposal system...

Although I think a change to the recipe could be made. Perhaps if salt was used to dry out the jerky instead of a special device.

some other recipe for Krans

Limestone pie:

Equipment:
1 ceramic bowl
1 ceramic pie dish
1 smithing furnace

ingredients
1 bottle of water
1 pound of fine granite sand
1 unit of gold ore
1 unit of limestone gravel
1 unit of ground up zinc


place the granitel sand and zinc into the ceramic bowl and mix thoughly
then add the water and mix until it becomes nice and cement-like
place this into the pie dish to form the crust

then, place the gold ore and limestone gravel into the pie crust and cover with a pie top. make sure there are holes for ventilation or the pie will explode
place the pie dish into the furnace for two hours or until the crust turns a crispy silver and gold

remove the pie and let cool for 20 minutes or untill wood no longer burns on contact.

cut into pieces with a diamond edge axe or simply grab the whole thing and eat it yourself.

Do not feed to non-Krans especially when straight out of the oven because it can severly damage their teeth or insides.
Do not throw at a non-Kran as a joke especially when straght out of the oven because it can severly damage their bones and cause severe burns
Do not feed to a Ynnwn or hit a Ynnwn in the face with one because the gold content can cause massive burns in addition to those caused by the molten filling... don't ask me how I know.

But for Krans this can be a delicious dessert which can brighten up any holiday! Enjoy!


And as a side beverage:

Hot molten silver:

melt one piece of silver ore in a furnace and pour into a sturdy ceramic mug. Add a little dash of gold or platinum if you like.

Makes a good beverage for keeping you warm on those rare cold days.

Do not feed to any non-krans especially Ynnwns. Also, don't offer it around rogues as they may try to steal it and buy stuff with it.


And if any Lemurs ask, tell them that its a perfectly plain and unexotic dish or else they may try to drink it and explode... don't ask me how I know.

Good ideas in this thread, very creative. Sigh, all I want is wiggly feeler dishes. We could have fried wiggly feeler, blackened wiggly feeler, pickled wiggly feeler, dried and salted wiggly feeler... hey! what about a SALT mine in game? That would have to happen, I mean you need salt for everything...

[The Shadow Nose]

Well, either a salt mine, or if there are bodies of saltwater like certain lakes or whatnot then you could get saltwater and the boil it to get the salt out.

Or have it either way, a mine to get salt which you can add to water to get saltwater. Or a body of saltwater you can boil to get salt.

Oh and the idea for Limestone Pie and Holt Melted Silver came from the movie 'Return to OZ' its the refreshments the Nome King offered Dorethy... Heh, though the Limestone Pie seemed a bit more edible in the movie than this recipe.

Clacker grush

I ran into a poor Lemur a long time ago eating this. He told me the recipe in return for some gold.

Take the carapace of one clacker and remove all legs and the head from the body.
Use a sharp blade to remove the body from the carapace and then use a large hammer to turn it into a pasty mush. This must be done inside the carapace!
Next  heat the shell for approximatly one hour and stir in any seasoning you like.  By this time it should be a semi solid mushy lke substance
 made from clacker meat.
Serve with any beverage of choice and enjoy.

Being a Kran I havnt tasted this but the Lemur seemed to enjoy it.

Another dish for Krans:

Sandstone Cake with Diamond Cherries 

Ingredients:
3 Sandstones
1 Iron ore
10 Diamonds
1 Ruby

Needed: a furnace

How to do:
Grind the sandstones, give them into the furnace AFTER the iron ore has melted. Wait until the Sand stone glows red, then stirr the mass and fill it into a form of ur likeness. Take the cake out when it has cooled down.
Now to the difficult part: grind the ruby as well, as fine as possible. Now get the cake back into the furnace, until the top layers start to glow, press the diamonds into the surface and spread the grinded ruby over it. Now quickly get the cake out, before the ruby burns, and let the cake cool in a place with little wind only.

As mentioned above, might be harmful for other races, but might also cause diarrhea when eaten to excessively

Sounds like a job for a relativly capable chef. Kran cooking is a difficult process, much manual labour involved.
But worth it all the same. many a good rock cake have I had back home....

And now i'll share with you a recipe that I learned when I got lost in the wilds. Kran use only. 

You take one regular rock and  grind it down into sand or small stones depending on your liking.
You add to this sand and rock a sizable ball of clay.  Roll it over the stones or sand so that it is covered.
Find yourself maybe a little salt for taste if there is any handy and keep it in a small fire for aproximatly 2 hours.

[The Shadow Nose]

Heh, Kran cuisine, food fit for a king!

lol, if Krans really do eat things like diamonds and gold, it would explain why there is always a demand for gold at Harnquists, he sells it to the Kran Hometown as a delicasy!

Though it would be really interesting to see what a bakery in the Krans hometown would look like... and what their houses are made of!

[Quitarias]

well as a kran i have to say some recipes sound delicious some revolting (i hate rats whether live or dead or in my stomach) i do believe that there should be soe sort of hunger system like have you seen someone who can go for 50 years or so without food
on the recipy side i have a terific recipe for krans:

     Hard Boiled Steel Paste
         
            Ingredients:
 
  Steel lumps acording to apetite

              Utensils:
  
  A very strong hamer maybe
  diamond coated
  A heat resistant pot i sugest
  one made of platinum

  Take the steel lumps and smash
  them down to mushy goo this
  usualy takes 5-7 hours to non
  kran so they wont be making this
  then place in the pot and leave for a
  a few hours also i found thet this recipe
  is usefull on hunting trips you can track
  a beast while making diner or take a
  good nights rest  Bon Apetite

  Warning this recipe is not sugested for non kran organisms
  and besides what other race can take a bite out of pure steel.

[dying_inside]

Can I put  the pate on things or is it  suposed to be eaten on its own?
I have a feeling that covering my pebble dash clay balls with it would be quite interesting.

[Capprion]

im not wandering what the kran housing looks like..but more of the fecal matter produced. eat a diamond, maybe it turns back into coal ?major ( OUCH! ) ...

[dying_inside]

Do we even produce fecal matter?
Or do we just  disintergrate it with whatever the hell we have in our stomachs....
