Post fantasy food! Do you implement cooking/baking in your games, using fantastic ingredients or otherwise?
Never got the cookbook, but from what I remember Redwall had some good sounding food.

Odysseus had magic wine enough to get Polyphemus shit-faced. In Euripides' The Cyclops, it is made clear that the wine skin replenishes itself, but this is not so in the source text.

The Lotus Eaters are also worth mentioning.

First postulated to exist in the 11th century, Vegetable Lambs were used to explain the existence of cotton. It was thought that the lamb was the fruit of the plant, and was connect to the stem by an umbilical cord. Within a small radius, the lamb was thought to walk around a support itself by eating nearby foliage.

Would it be a magical realm if everything in the game's world was made of food?
This adventure has a candy village in it. Its main selling point for me was its name.
I want to run a comfy quest where there's a qt witch in the candy house and the players need to get Hansel and Gretel from being annoy assholes and eating her property.
Not fantasy per say, but surely fantastic.

Just don't act too crusty when describing it to your players and they'll rise to the occasion.
>>44011001
Well, that wasn't was I was expecting at all.
>>44010964
Sort of?
Rather than healing poultices or items, they use food to replenish their health. Foraged food can be eaten raw to top it off, but the best stuff comes from the experienced hand that makes a dish that keeps you warm and full.
>>44011077
Lots of honey - candied flower petals and stuff. Stuffed mushrooms too, from what I remember.
Anything can be prepared to be delicious
>>44013836
Even minotaur tongues and harpy eggs
>>44013857
>>44013836
I would think. Best way to recover from strenuous exercise like fighting is to eat something filling. Preferably something with protein and/or salt to replenish what you lost.
>>44013912
>protein and/or salt
That's why all my meals use semen as a base.
>>44011124
>oniondruid.jpeg
>>44013063
I tried that and my players made so many great rolls that they were swimming in dough.
They didn't even knead it.
>>44013935
That's not protein or salt. That's glucose and protids.
>>44014558
Yes, I learned this in Bio class. Yes my professor bought this up specifically as a joke.

The magic stores the players go to typically have them as exotic food. Basilisk Wine, Fried Dire Ant, Barbed Deviled Eggs, etc.
>>44011001
>'Garlicburg'
>'Vampire free since 1234'
>>44016280
>magic stores
I'd be more comfortable having the players finding a magic cooking pan that can essentially make anything put into it taste delicious and nutritious, like, even creatures and plants that normally aren't palatable or digestible are rendered completely edible. It could be extremely convenient for people who don't want to have to manage rations all the time.

Damn it, I was trying to forget.By the bye, that's an actual brand of lollies in Japan and they haven't changed their packaging design ever since. They're actully quite nice.

Hey, monsters don't just swim in gold, gems, and gear. Adventurers gotta make a living and magic store owners need smaller purchases that can pull in people besides +1 Longswords.

TES went at lenghts to describe the local delicacies around Tamriel. Food by Bretons are especially tasty given that they're basically french food with much morr exotic ingredients. Redguards even had screaming cheese

I have questions
>>44017680
I'd forgotten about balut...I could have gone my entire life without being reminded of it.
>>44017646
Would it be awkward to serve a roasted harpy at a banquet? I mean, with the humany bits and all.
>>44018012
Pretty sure that would be something of a social faux pas. Or a felony. I forget which.
>>44018012
I think it'd be pretty dependant on both how harpies 'worked' and the social/cultural norms of the place you're serving it at.
If harpies are beasts with no/limited intelligence then it might be seen as normal. Alternatively your culture could be like Dwarf Fortress elves, where butchering and eating 'human-like' things is seen as fine. It's not impossible to imagine a world that develops where eating something like an intelligent harpy (who is seen as a monstrous non-person due to fantasy racism or whatever) is seen as acceptable.
It might be unacceptable for a number of other reasons not related to it being human-ish, such as being tainted by evil, magic or whatever.
Obviously if you're a GM and you make the culture like that then you'd need to explain it to the players before they encounter it (assuming they're from that culture) and it'd be difficult to make squeamish people understand or relate to a group who did this. (since most would see it as an evil act) but you can definitely play upon the morality of a setting by making something most today would consider monstrous as just another part of life. "The Harpies eat us, we eat the harpies. Good meat is scarce and we're all animals who've been doing this for centuries, just look at our recorded history." or something like that could be really interesting, but it'd be best used if you avoided just having it be a shocking truth, and actually used it as part of the building blocks for a setting.
>>44018012
Seems like it would go over about as well as serving roast vulture. You would obviously not serve it with the head cause that would be creepy, but I don't think anyone would consider harpy to be particularly edible in the first place.
>>44010964
>>44018012
You cut up and debone the hominid part and stew it or use in pie stuffing. You can also smoke roast it and stuff it into the bird cavity.

Tales of Symphonia?
>>44010964
I carefully considered the cuisine of the various cultures in my homebrew setting, especially since I replaced all the races except humans with new ones. Primarily I tried to base their tastes on the creatures they've derived from(the ant and bee people having a massive sweet tooth between them), geographical location, and techniques available.
>>44018359
>not wanting to eat roasted tits, ass and cunt
Are you gay?
>>44018880
This disturbs me greatly.
I bet a lot of the more exotic or outlandish dishes would have been made by adventurers who hadn't bought any rations and after slaying a few owlbears decided "fuck it."
Actually, that would be a good idea for a character: A foodie who wants to collect and compile a book on all the dishes of the land. Morale owuld certainly be high with him taking over dinner time.

Let me tell you about this manga called Dungeon Meshi, or "Delicious in Dungeon"...
>>44018880
ShindoL, please an hero and stay hero.
>>44019673
Go on...
>>44019831
It's a manga about a group of adventurers that need to get back into the dungeon ASAP, but can't afford proper rations. So they get creative and also meet a dwarf dungeon ranger who has extensive knowledge of dungeon ecosystems.
It is really, really fun and has best /tg/ waifu.

>>44020023
What is horrifying is thatsome people can't tell that one dungeon waifu is clearly superior to the other
>>44020055
No one can surpass the elf.
>>44020023
I legitimately can't tell if I'm supposed to read right to left or left to right because the narrative is so stilted and poorly written.
>>44011784
First I would ask her why the fuck is she living in an edible house? Why not use more suitable building materials?
>>44020091
Right to left.
It's a manga you pleb.
Also it's a part from "monster tidbits" at the end of each volume, not story proper.
>>44020129
>>44017702
>Not eating what you kill
Wasteful, your parents must be ashamed of you.
My setting includes a number of planets and they do have non-spacetravel means of transportation between them. This means, of course, there's much more of everything, but especially more things to eat. There's soup made of some alien meat with a shape and consistency similar to udon noodles in a blue broth, curried edible stones, creatures which are oddly similar to flying chunks of twisted roots and are eaten by charring and grating them and mixing with sap--there are a lot of things I could describe, but I'd have to describle the flora/fauna/other of those many subsettings to do so.
>>44019910
It's pretty freaking awesome.
When I first saw the artwork, I actually thought it was one of those hentai mangas but it's anything but.

If you are so magical why can't you deal with a couple of 1st level commoners eating you out of house and home? Do you even have anything valuable to reward us with for getting rid of them? I don't murder children for sweets.
>>44020343
To be fair, dragging the kids back to their parents for a good scolding is enough, the witch only wants them to stop eating her damn house!

>>44020444
Really good looking hentai, but by God is it depressing/terrifying to read sometimes.

For proper food porn scenes, you all need to check Koufuku Graffiti.
>>44020895
And before anyone mentions Shokakukakekikoku no Soma (or something), that's not food porn, that's porn food. Big difference.
>>44020895
That's Food wars, right?
Has anyone ever played, played with, or DMed for a character that had dietary restrictions?
An example would be a vegetarian monk.
How did you handle it? Did it ever become an in-game issue for the party?
>>44020963
I wasn't the DM, but in one of the games I've played there was an evil elf wizard and a neutral druid who cooked and ate dead humans behind the lawful good fighter's back.
I heard that paleontologists can deduce what dinosaurs would have tasted like due to the types of muscles they would have had. I read the article almost five years ago, but I believe there was a case that Tyrannosaurus Rex would have tasted like turkey, with duck breast meats.

>that totally unnecessary but totally appreciated panel of laius doing a quick fact-check with dorf
>>44022974
Coprolites are a very good find for paleontologists as well, as they can give them an idea of what the dinos ate. And if you break one they still smell.
>>44023195
>And if you break one they still smell.
I refuse to believe this without a source, that's like Pokedex-tier science
>>44020055
I will not deny that (female dwarf? Not sure) is amazingly cute. But she's been only around for a little while, and so far Mar has got her beat. It doesn't help that dwarf girl seems to care more about money than necessarily doing good.

I'm going to look around for the source for a few min.
>>44023269
And here we are
https://youtu.be/L4AJmvzImbM?t=2m2s
Alright, so it's not all coprolites that smell when broken, but some do.

Heating unit underneath the sand. There's water and ground coffee in the ibrik (or whatever it's called in India). The sand gets hot, boiling the water.
>>44025777
>>44025831
If I remember right, those little pots are only partially full. They're just waiting for it to bubble up before pouring it out, so it looks like they're magically refilling. Looks delicious though.
>>44023160
>I still love the whole "alcohol is necromancy" side-story
