food in randland

[rabbittmaster]

does anyone every wanted to eat some of the foot that they eat in  randland?

like silverpike,

[Elgee]

Personally, I've never been very fond of eating foot.  :P

 

Some of the things have made me drool a bit, though: honey cakes, spit roasts, that fancy food Elayne made, etc. Just a bit about the no coffee (or kaf).

[Builder]

I've never thought about food from Randland. I wouldn't want to think about it because it would make me want to eat what I was thinking of and then I would realize that such food doesn't exist and then I would be sad.

 

/end rant

[rabbittmaster]

the way mat and rand love honey cakes i wish i  had some

[Elgee]

My favourite fantasy about Randland food is that it tastes the way our food smells. Have you noticed that some things just don't taste quite as good as they smell? Take coffee - it's awesome, but the smell is pure heaven. And Vanilla essence ... man, now there's a smell to make you salivate! But have you ever tasted pure vanilla essence? Eew.

they ate chicken  hen peas,and turnips ad cheese,

[ROB_88]

i think i would like to try Oosquai at some point

[Gentled Ben]

I assume it's tequila, Robb

[rabbittmaster]

dont they eat goose or is that nynaeve calling mat or rand a goose

[JenniferL]

I assume it's tequila, Robb

 

No. Tequila is made from the agave plant. Oosquai is made from corn (zemai= anagram for maize). I imagine it's something closer to corn whiskey, or moonshine.

There is a cubed pork dish in tGH I think it is that sounds delicious.  A clear tangy sauce, the pork is crispy and juicy, it has red and yellow peppers...yes please.

Wasn't that the dish he ate with the Aiel? Oh that made my tummy rumble when I read that  :D

[water_seeker]

I was referring to the dish they had in Cairhien in tGH.

[Sylvia]

.....OH! That one....My bad....Now I'm really hungry thinking about BOTH of those dishes now

[Kaznen]

I was referring to the dish they had in Cairhien in tGH.

It sounded like stir fried pork.  If you really want it so bad go to your nearest Chinese takout place and I'm sure they have something like that.

 

I never got worked up over the food served becasue with a little thought I could figure out what they were eating in "real life."

Eww, pork!

The food discussion brings up an interesting point. Everything, even tea leaves seem to be spoiling at an alarming rate, so it appears they won't have much to eat in Randland pretty soon (no more honeycakes). Even if the Dark One is defeated, how will the remaining people survive with no food?

[Builder]

Well hopefully after TG the Dark One's effect on food will vanish, and the next crop will be great success.

[Elgee]

It also wont affect "live" food, so as long as the beef is still on the hoof, it should be ok. I wonder if that applies to crops too?

[Builder]

I did mean the food that have already been foraged. I've never thought about food that is still alive. I don't think living things are getting affected.

I Always thought that Oosquai was Mezcal, those mexican spirits made of agave (but not exacly Tequila)... Mezcal is more rustic, with an artesanal process, and poorly destilated. ^^ Some bottles come with a dead vermin inside... that just seen so Aiel to me!!!!
