Both with great effect.1. Dwarf Bread - I stole this one from Terry Pratchett's Discworld books, but it carries over REALLY well. Believe it or not, there are still fantasy fans out there who haven't read through any of Pratchett's work. But his Dwarf Bread is so wonderfully dwarvish that no one ever complains about it's addition or thinks it's out of place even in Forgotten Realms. Ok...so they do complain about it, but usually it's just because they find their characters stuck with nothing to eat except dwarf bread. I've had players contemplate eating goblins instead of relying on dwarf bread.2. Orc Meal - Ok. I heard about this one years ago and stole it, but I don't know who came up with it. Orc meal is a sausage prepared by orcish cooks to feed members of a horde while at war. It's also the bane of all orcs and their version of Iron Rations. The idea is to stretch real food as far as possible. So Orc Meal is a large, haggis like sausage that's about 15% "animal byproducts", 30% grain, 30% misc "edible" plant matter, and 25% sawdust (as filler). It's practically inedible to anyone other than an orc. Best fried and serve with literally anything to cover the flavor.</blockquote>
