D&D World Cuisine...

[Hairfoot]

I received a copy of Joy of Cooking when I left home for college in the mid-80's. It had an extensive section that could be best described as 'Roadkill'. It would be an interesting template for this project...

For me it was Charmaine Solomon's Complete Asian Cookbook at my 21st. No uni student should live without it.

There's room in this thread for an enterprising and patient poster to take an online cookbook and find/replace real world ingredients with fantasy world ingredients.

That poster is not me.

The source of my inspiration? The classic arcade game, Gauntlet.

Wizard, your guacamole is running out.

Any thoughts on interesting dishes? I'm thinking to run a game where the PC's have to go out and battle monsters to get rare ingredients.

A couple easy ones: Sahaguin eggs (D&D version of cavier) & boiled Kruthik (kind of like many of our shellfish).

Any help is appreciated, whether whole dishes, or just ingredients that could be used for a cool dish.

Thanks!

Gregor, I just shot you a PM as well. I've always wanted to add cool cuisine ideas to my games, but it's a detail that falls by the wayside.

Hey there.

It should be in your email inbox as I write this.

Hee hee! Now the fun begins!!

Fruit of sentient/fantastic plants:
treantnut
tendicular pear
succulent orcwort
flank of phantom fungus (where's the beef?) (it's on your plate, sir.) (i don't see nuthin' here!) (*sigh*)

fey/plane-touched veggies, fruit & herbs:
feycorns
dryad peaches
sphinxnip
improot
cornugonic maize

animal & magical beat flesh:
bulette steak (requires a LOT of tenderizing, though)
cateblepas, hippogriff, etc meat
dinosaurs of all stripes (tastes like chicken)

otyugh... nevermind

Most chefs I've heard of like to let it sit for at least 24 hours in a gelatinous cube based marinade.

foraging

In 4.0 what would you use as a skill for foraging? Nature?

I'm not sure that monsters were ever really designed with gastronomy in mind. They don't usually look appetizing.

Neither do most animals, for that matter.

Oh, ultimoed it's Nature or Dungeoneering (depending on your environment)

I know what you mean:

My Warforged cleric was at a party once and out of sheer politeness unknowingly ate a few Rust Monster Poppers. Lets just say the next morning was pretty ugly.
