[QUOTE="David Alexander1, post: 7265799, member: 6916990"] To fill in some of the other races on the lines of Celebrim: Drow: Drow culture is extremely hierarchical, and Wealthy Drow have some of the food sources most different from the surface world. Whole sections of underground caverns are dedicated to growing the stocks of mushrooms and fungi that make up the majority of the Drow animal feedstock. Other staple Drow foods include the meat and internal organs of their domesticated Roche and Carrion Crawler stock. For a picture of what these things look like, imagine if Klingon food was served on spotlessly clean bone-white plates. On the other hand, Poorer Drow (males especially) subsist on mushrooms and fungi - and supplement this with hunting for bats, lizards, fish and other small game. In some ways, poor Drow males have a way of eating that is the most 'surface-like', and this is a cause of some disgust among other, better-off Drow. This has caused some clan houses to make hunting and trapping illegal in their caverns. Drow society does not have a large number of 'middle-class' individuals - very few Drow are content to be anything but first or last place. However, Drow merchants, slavers and tradespeople enjoy some tangible benefits of serving their overlord. They are likely permitted to eat meat from the same domesticated underground animals as their betters (though less) and are more likely than the family-less and poor to have the opportunity to try foods from outside of their home cavern. Duergar: Duergar are a stone-hearted people, favouring nothing in terms of flavour or texture, and having a "food is fuel" mentality to the things they eat. They do not broker trade with their neighbours for food. They grow primarily a particular variety of mushroom that is considered flavourless and unpalatable to the other underground races, but is especially nutrient-dense and filling. Duergar slavers and slaves alike eat this food. Svirfneblin: Svirfneblin truly wish to be left alone to their own devices - and this mindset extends to the foods they eat. They've adapted some Drow farming techniques, and subsist mostly on underground fungi and trapping for small game. Unlike the Drow, Svirfneblin society is effectively classless. Wealthier Svirfneblin prefer to spend their money on things besides food. When they do trade for food, they are most likely to buy wine, liquor and beer from Drow and Dwarf traders. [/QUOTE]
