Menu for a humanoid tavern

[Alan Shutko]

I'm putting together a one-shot where the characters are all humanoids. What should be on the tavern's menu?

Rat on a stick is the easiest place to start, but the crew here have got to have some inventive ideas for a tavern run by a gnoll and habituated by orcs, goblins, kobolds and more.

My first thoughts

Roast human thigh.
Eyeball soup
Brain Bread

Extra Spicy Rust Monster Roast. With wooden implements to eat it.

Unicorn pie. With a cream dessert served from a horn. Very expensive.

Hangman Tree bark bread. Not only is it tough, it tries to stop you from chewing itself.

Phantom Fungus in a basket. The basket looks empty. You have to hit inside it to kill the fungus first and make it visible. The tentacles are already removed and served on a separate plate in marenade.

Elf ear kabobs

Baby back halfling ribs

 

[Aeolius]

Brownies for dessert, anyone?

 

[Loonook]

Beef. Lamb. Chicken. Fish...

Exactly what a normal tavern would have. No businessman would be able to afford the cost of keeping a larder full of humans...

Now, as a special dinner? Well, medieval food cannot get much weirder than what you'll see here. Lark's tongues in aspic, various mixings and matchings, blood and offal foodstuffs... Full of things.

Slainte,

Lark's vomit?!??!

Oh, an alright searchable 'medieval feast' list, but there are more available. Nothing says fancy humanoid party like baby pot pies.

Baby pot, baby pot, baby pot piiiiiiieeeee.....

Just watch a few episodes of No Reservations and Bizarre Foods for some interesting ideas.

Or visit edible.com . Their toasted leaf-cutter ants and thai curry crickets are quite... interesting.
