A Dash of Flavour: Tavern Menus
Tired of the same old stale bread and cheese? For this week's tavern visit, why not try something new? Invent a new tavern menu - create a few colourful local dishes involving original animals or plants and see how they bring your world to life just a little more.
The Hallowed Horseman
Menu: Pumpkin soup, fresh gef cream, mill fish, spiced ale, kethaflower cordial.
Goods: Yellowsage pipe-weed from the Yellow Marsh.
Now figure out a few things about the plants and animals you just made up!
Gef
Black furred, four legged beast with a silver breast and short tail. Two huge scythe-like antlers. Feeds on grass and ketha flowers which grow near the Devilswood. A source of food for Grimrose. Hunted by giant birds and wolves. Kept in herds by the barbarian clans. Stags sought after for the value of their horns. Very defensive of their territory. The females can be domesticated and are kept for milk, cream and butter by the people of Grimrose.
Mill fish
Small speckled fish that gather at the turbulent waters near the water wheels of mills. They are easily caught by netting them from the wheel or just dropping a line in the water.
