Tavern Food

Thanks to the cosmopolitan nature of the Merebian Empire the available variety of tavern food is vast. However, throughout the Empire there does appear to be a block of "common" foods. These are listed below in a series of very broad categories.

Vegetarian friendly food is demoted by (v). There are no vegan options listed.

"Dry Food"

This category includes pastries, breads and biscuits.

Examples:

• Walnut bread (v)
• Fish tart (the "fish" usually being a garum jelly)
• Cinnamon cookies
• Raisin biscuits

"Soups"

This category includes soups, broths and stews. Basically food that has to served in a bowl and is predominantly liquid.

Examples:

• Pottage (Puls)
• Chikia and lentil stew (v)
• Pinoli stew (v) - a stew made almost entirely with a selection of nuts, such as pine nuts, walnuts, hazlenuts and sweet chestnuts
• Mixed fish broth - usually a combination of "cheap" fish such as mackerel, herring and coley

"Roast" Meats

Basically any meat that is served "on the bone". There are no vegetarian options in this last, for (hopefully) obvious reasons.

Examples:

• Roast Greenfish (only if available from Lake Viridian)
• Roast Dire potato (only if available from Bal-Morath)
