[QUOTE="Prisoner6, post: 4592979, member: 54021"] In my game all Elves a lactose intolerant - so their food contains no dairy. They eat with their fingers, or use a special kind of thin sponge-like bread to pick up their food with. Gnomes, on the other hand, have special utensils for each and every food. It's not unusual to come across treasure troves that include things like a "gilded grape peeler" or "silver pomegranate seed extractor". And of course anyone who used a beef fork to eat chicken would seriously offend a gnome. There's a huge amount of distrust in my gameworld, as political assassination is practically a way of life in some parts. Consequently everyone eats from the same plate. Typically the meal is served on a huge round dish in the center of the table, which everyone eats off of. That way no one is going to poison anyone's food. It's a huge sign of mutual trust to share a plate with someone. Finally, a certain religious sect believes that mixing ingredients is "not how the gods intended us to eat." If you are going to eat an apple, you eat an apple, but eating apple pie is strictly forbidden. The same for sandwiches, etc. Seasoning, except for those necessary to cure meats to preserve them, is frowned upon as well. [/QUOTE]
