(especially because of the cranium rats) But really cool.  Consider this stolen! (though I think I'll likely skip the Ramen-Nazi, so I need to start thinking of another NPC just as cool.  I like the hustler who gets the PCs a place in line.Wow! Great name! Thank you.  Why didn't I think of that?Ky'Husa is neato!  That's another one to steal.  Absinthe is so passe.  All of the rest are winners, too.  Assassin Wine of course reminds me of heartwine, brewed from razorvine.  I love that Beholder tongue fillet is just a status food.  Krakenmari is too funny because it makes me imagine that, like beholder tongue, folks are going to buy this on the rationale that if calamari is good, this must be better.  Prestige food is such a ridiculous, far-fetched concept that it could only happen in the real world, thus adding to my game should add verisimilitude. The doppleganger is a funny idea, especially for a light-hearted game, but I think I'll leave it in the larder with the troll steaks, as it seems silly for the game I usually run.Good point! But then, maybe I'm not the best to ask, as I am a vegetarian, too.  There was a cool entry in the AD&D 2nd Edition Monstrous Manual for Crabman (no doubt they'd be crabfolk, now) that indicated that they were pretty tasty boiled and slathered in butter.  Since so many creatures are listed as prefering the flesh of this or that PC race, I thought that it was kind of a cool twist.For "lethal levels," try "any." Fugu poison is deadlier than cyanide.  Cooks who prepare it must be specially trained and licenced as per a rule originally put in place by MacArthur, I believe.  It's deadly stuff, and is an idea just begging to be used in-game.I always liked the idea of serving "themed' food to my players.  While running Bruce Cordell's 2e Illithid trilogy, I nuked up a paste of onion and cinnamon as a sort of creepy potpourri while we played.  If I had had a hot tub & pool, I would have run the finale with all of the players' feet in the lukewarm hot tub with one of those wandering pool skimmer things brushing their feet in the opaque water.</blockquote>
