[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 7249836, member: 4937"] This would be an example of why I think there is no 'wrong' answer to the question. Invent whatever cuisine that you like and can justify. For my part, I didn't list gnomes or halflings because I don't have either one in my world. If I had gnomes, they'd eat a cuisine somewhere between elven and dwarvish. If I had halflings, they'd prefer the well documented food stuffs of Tolkien's works, which is basically English farm fare heavily influenced by Tolkien's own preferences for very fresh plainly prepared fare showcasing the flavor of the foodstuff. Very salty cuisines are associated with relatively hot climates where you sweat a lot and must replenish the salt. For example, just about the saltiest European cuisine is Portuguese, and the Portuguese in turn heavily influenced and were heavily influenced by various Southeast Asian cuisines (notably modern Thai). Spanish is also a fairly salty cuisine, and you can see that influence in hot climate former Spanish colonies where you find very salty 'saltado' and 'adobo' dishes that are probably adaptations of native dishes influenced by Spanish cooking. About the saltiest cuisine I know of is Indonesian, which is just crazy salty. The only other places you see 'salty' show up a lot are cuisines that do a lot of pickling foods, but then typically you have very bland food that you add pickles to as a garnish. None of that suggests a reason why gnomes would love really salty food unless gnomes are largely desert or jungle dwelling people in your world, so personally I wouldn't have gnomish cuisine be particularly salty.
