| The Food...the drink I find the amount of detail thats given to food and drink to be quite remarkable....these descriptions take up a fairly significant portion of the book. I've had mead (or something close to it) I've got to try hippocras ![]() These other dishes caught my eye: the Dornish dishes with fiery peppers and eggs Blandissory, a mixture of beef broth and boiled wine sweetened with honey and dotted with blanched almonds and chunks of capon (and I don't even eat meat) Lemoncakes Roundels of elk stuffed with ripe blue cheese Cheese-and-onion pies Sweetcorn fritters Oatbread baked with bits of date, apple, and orange Trout cooked in a crust of crushed almonds Honeycakes baked with blackberries and nuts Those blood oranges Iced milk sweetened with honey I would love to sample all those wines..especially the Dornish summerwines and the Arbor Gold These dishes, also, caught my eye..but in a :yuck: kind of way: ![]() Jellied calves' brains A creamy soup of mushrooms and buttered snails Snails in honey and garlic iBlood sausage Were they joking about the jellied unborn puppies brains? There's a page on westeros.org with all of the meals.. What would you order from the menu? |

| Re: The Food...the drink Oooh, not sure but if I was forced to choose something then.... To start I'd have the Blandissory Main I'd go for Roundels of elk stuffed with ripe blue cheese Dessert I'd have to go for the honeycakes And to wash it down, a nice cool mead or if in non alcoholic mode, iced milk with honey It all sounds rather rank though, all except the honeycakes, milk & mead! xx |

Given the death rate attributable to causes other than food so far in ASOF&I, I don't get the impression that GRRM is planning slow ends by the culinary arts for an main characters. ![]() However, there was Joffrey!! ![]() I personally would skip the pie. | |

| Re: The Food...the drink I have to say that reading about Lord Mormounts mulled wine has made me very curious to try it sometime. I feel like I can almost taste it and feel the warmth of it as I sit in the camp beyond the wall. |
