Gastronomy

Tell me what you eat, and I'll tell what you are ... This sentence, uttered by PiRZeBoss to his foe, during a fight, was profound, philosophic, and noticeably stupid in this context : only the green Manticora live exclusively on heroes'pancreases.

!!!Tek : Vegetables are the Tekinese's basic food.

  • The persimmon : It's a tomota that grows on a tree called the persimmon tree (who can live up to 500 years). It's one of the basic Tekinese food. The persimmon contents loads of carbohydrates, it's one of the most energizing fruits. Its orange colour is due to an abundance of pigments. The persimmon, when he is ripe, becomes laxative. It eases down bowel movement : the Hazgordian medecine uses it to decrease high blood pressure and to relieve abdomen pains. (genuily existed).
  • The turnip : No need for introduction here, raw turnip porridge is extremely healthy. Cruciferous garden vegetable, numerous varieties exist ; the most common is spherical with a white, reddish, cork-yellow (even if it's rare to find red turnips). The Tekinese continent's bay is known for its black turnips, succulent but sold an exorbitant price. %%%The turnip belongs to the same family as the cabbage, the mustard, and the radish. Easy to dye, you can also dip it into beetroot juice, parsley juice…
  • The pizza : It's a Tekinese favored dish, pizzas can be found in very kind and taste. Traditionally, it is eaten with the fingers – personnally, I rather eat it with my mouth.
  • The naughty night crawlers : the naughty night crawlers are extremely good for your health, and very cheap… However, their foul taste is hard to bear.
  • The hallucinogenic mushrooms: Despite these mushrooms' noxious effects, travellers love them ! Even if their taste is quite bland et their fat rate is very low. Doubtlessly because seeing talking chairs and green hippopotami is an enriching, intellectual experience.

!!!Paininzass : Paininzassians have a particular fondness for seafoods and shellfishes.

  • The crawfish : Ahhh, the crawfish… this queen of the seas and of rocky shallows is a majestic good, that can't be ignored if you can afford it. The crawfish is only for bourgeois and dirtily wealthy people, due to its prohibitive price ! Belonging to the palinuridae family, the crawfish measures from twelve to fifty inches. If you get the opportunity to taste it, don't hesitate !
  • The ‘ambuggers : With a very high fat rate and carcinogenic, the ‘ambuggers are cheap and tasty. Consume with moderation ! The most common ‘ambuggers are made out of a minced beef or with Onnhian chicken.
  • The furry trout : What a feast ! Despite its highly fluctuating price, the furry trout is always expansive. Favored dish in inns and restaurants, and for taste buds. It's surely one of the best Paininzassian dishes.
  • The new-wine beaujolais : Contrary to belief, the new-wine beaujolais is a fish, which can only be found in Maloess. Rather small, it looks like a carp (more wrinkled). The innkeepers often serve beaujolais' filets with red wine. (weird).

!!!Hazgordy : The Hazgordese eat all kind of food… but they grow lots of fruits.

  • the purple banana:With 90 calories for 100 grammes, the banana is a healthy and particularly energizing fruit, and doesn't even contain any cholesterol. In 100 of banana, there are 1,4% of proteins, 20% of carbohydrates, 0,5% of lipids. The rest being purple banana. To Samothian kids, the purple banana is the ideal fruit for a snack or for dessert. It's a favorite of farmers, as the seeds are cheap.
  • The Kiwi: It's the most famous fruit on the entire Disc ! The kiwi is foremost an exceptional source of vitamin C. Within the same quantity, it brings twice as much of it than orange, and seven times as much as gnome steak. With a content of 80 mg for 100 g, one kiwi brings the daily amount of vitamin C every barbaric hero needs. Furthermore, the kiwi contains very few calories and lipids. It's also a higly recommanded food to help the organism against viral attacks, or to get out of a fatigue bout. Great quantities of vitamin A and P, as well as potassium, can be found, especially near the skin. The kiwi is very tasty and extremely healthy.
  • The Guazembela : High fat-rate and not a terrible taste. The Guazembela is not edible, but some travellers and auks love it (go figure why). On the other hand, this "food" has to be healthy : as the saying goes, who rsurvives a plateful of Guazembela can survive anything.
  • Guarana : Few people know what a guaran seed looks like, that's why I'll enlight you. Because I like you. The guarana is a climbing sarment bush, with alternate, tendril-bearing leaves. The greenish flowers are set in a cluster at the end of axillary peduncles. The fruit is a fibrous pod divided in three cavities, each containing an oval seed. Amazing, isn't it ? The guarana is the caffein-richest plant among those actually recensed. Used as an powerful energizing agent, it reduces down tiredness, gives vitality and a well-being feeling to the body, sharpen the mind, increase longevity, and offers the perfect balance. The Guarana is a food supplement, it is a central nervous system stimulant and increase intellectual potential. I think it even sharpen axes, mais I'm not too sure. The guarana has no taste whatsoever, but mustn't be consumed in too great a quantity : in high dose, it is toxic. Very toxic. Those wanting to try are warned !

!!!Onnh : The Onnh continent doesn't have any speciality. There are only Booze and crusted pies : that's not so bad.

  • Crusted pie : Samoth's favorite dish (according to a poll, performed with impressive professionalism. Only thing is, the probing staff only count opinions conform to theirs, and had a tendency to threaten the probed people with a mace). There are all sorts of crusted pies, even si the veal-breast one is the Disc's favorite. Even if this dish is quite greasy, it is nonetheless succulent.
  • The Booze : The Booze is adored by all. The goddess Hesat doesn't have a minute to spare, she always has to brew more of this precious drink. The Booze is to be consumed with moderation. On the other hand, Moderation has just slipped into an alcoholic coma, it isn't reliable anymore.

!!!Chelonysle : There are only strange Untl'ming foods. No human, elf, orc or other normal thingy would survive to their aliments. No more is known, as Chelonysle is cut out from the world and little information is let out.

!!!Central Peak : Everything can be found on this continent, especially intriguing aliments that only grow in an icy climate - the Central Peak being immersed in a perpetual Free Zinc.

  • The black radish : It a vegetable from the cruciferous family. The black radish is not very nourishing but has a lot of medicinal properties. It's rich with vitamin C, which makes it an interesting ally against the cold and one-legged bugs. The black radish also contains sulfur and vitamins of the B group. It's not a very tasty vegetable, but it is very appréciated by locals. Cooked with a new-wine beaujolais, the black radish is quite good. Wel,l better than without.
  • The antenixia seed : the antenixia seed grow in cluster on a tree called Antenix. This bland seed has few nutritive qualities. This is why the antenixia seed is often used as an appetite suppressor ! Moreover, these seeds are cheap, on any given market.
  • The tuyat stem: The tuyat stem is eaten raw, and is delicious… this plant is also healthy. Many peasants of the Central Peak grow this vegetable. Many continents import this succulent aliment, and we can understand why. It's good.
  • The nice and warm coffee: "The nice and warm coffee" grows on a tree called a Publican. This bright-white fruit presents an interesting cavity, which, when the fibrous membrane covering it is peeled off, is revealed to contain a black, energizing liquid. Tasting like coffee. Almost to the point of believing this is an actual, white cup of real coffee… that's definitely amazing ! The mystery has not yet been solved ; nobody, as it is, is really trying to.
