Tch. What dwarf refuses to drink anything but their mamma's milk? A REAL dwarf will drink everything served to him in a mug, or even in those little piddly hourglass shaped ones if no proper mug is available.

A real dwarf sets out to try every drink in the bar and doesn't stop until they've served him a glass of every damned one, even the bottles of cleaner that happened to have alcohol in 'em. Then, and only then, does he talk about how true dwarven liquor is better than all the watered down piss they've served him, with a bite that could cut through metal and a kick that'd put the surliest horse to shame.

I had an idea to turn Feywild/Generic Elven Bullshit Dimension into a fantasy analogue of the Long Earth from the eponymous book series. Wood elves live as hunter-gatherers mainly because they can travel through Feywild pretty much infinitely. They still appreciate stuff civilization can give them, they just aren't convinced this whole "civilization" thing is worth a hassle.

Well, the premise is they're atypical, enterprising dwarfs, right? They defy expectations.

I've always liked the idea that Dearves are, after their own fashion, aesthetes and epicureans that appreciate anything, from arms and armor to architecture and engineering to food and drink that takes time and artistry to perfect. It makes perfect sense to me that dwarves would travel the world sampling the finest brews and meals, and would open dining establishments of the highest caliber.

>>
>>49842762
Not in this setting, apparently. Though you'd think taste alone would suffice, even if they can't get drunk. Seems the elven sight and hearing does not extend to their sense of taste.

>>49842773
Join together for joint purchases and advertising? A pub, a cafe and a fancy restaurant all do different things, so they shouldn't be in direct competition.
>>
>>49842547
I always thought of it as a matter of utilitarian design and ornate design.
The Dwarves set out to make something they look at it's purpose and they make something that fulfills that purpose and fulfills it well, then can come decoration. The Evles set out to make something beautiful then they work on making it work right by magic or by craft after they have something pretty.

That's a meme. Well an elf-pub wouldn't probably like your run down working class neighbourhood pub and they would mostly not drink beer, but elves like to enjoy the finer things and there is nothing saying that they can't get excessive.
>>
>>49843649
Except in Majesty, where elf pubs are a drain on the economy.
>>
>>49843602
They started conservative and stayed right there. Forever. From the day, the first Dwarf was born, it went into a cave, saw a shiny rock, and mumbled to himself.

"This Dwarf work..."

From the day Elves first spawned, they walked into a forest, looked around, and went. "This is perfect. We're perfect, we're the best race."
>>
>>49843747
So they're both French?
>>
>>49843571
Elves and fairies in genral are heavily influenced on celtic lore.

Elves are fags but their IRISH fags.
>>
>>49843663
I dug the elves in Majesty. It was a fresh take. "Notorious revelers, prone to the vices of wine and debauchery". They demand to be housed in a lavish residence which appears to be filled with drugs and whores, boost Marketplace income just by being around and can play music in taverns to make money. On the other hand, "Elvish Lounges" and gambling halls start popping up all over the kingdom once you let them in, you can't tax them and all your heroes will waste time and money inside.

Basically, elves are a cross between rich twats and gypsies.

It's also hinted that they sunk their own old continent.
>>
>>49841821
I doubt the dwarves would care much though they might find it amusing to see elven phariahs butchering their precious trees.

On the other hand, if those elves started pretending to be miners...
The dwarves might get a tad bit more grumpy than usual

>The Arch-Gastromancer of the Old Kingdom is Gormack's nemesis
>Memorized in legend as the best chef the world has ever known, in ages past the Arch-Gastromancer's dishes have been known to start and end wars. Empire rose and fell before his appetizers, and in the young days of creation, his desserts satisfied the palettes of gods and demons
>Now, having awoken from ten-thousand years of slumber and desperate to find someone who could truly appreciate his brilliance, he has singled out Gormack
>Spying after him through his Scrying Saucepan and using magic and manipulation to influence Gormack's path, he tests him, slowly but surely
>When the time is right, he will invite him to write a review of his restaurant, pitting his millennia of eldritch cooking experience against the orc's tastebuds in the greatest culinary battle of wills and wits the world has seen

I never liked the whole "animal girls who are part a herbivorous animal are obligate herbivores". Most of them look like they could definitely have a stomach in the human part of the body (and in Monster Musume, their mouths are definitely human), for once, and second, most of those are recorded in mythology as being ravenous meat eaters and hunters.

I mean, yeah, yeah, no point sperging out about mythological accuracy in a show where all the monsters are also cute Japanese girls, but I just don't like vegans all that much.

The way I understand it now is that coffee has been grown in Vietnam since the French first introduced coffee to the country during its mid 19th century colonial period, and several regions today continue to grow some excellent varieties. It's usually brewed table-side one cup at a time, using a French drip filter, and is served with condensed milk to sweeten and lighten the flavor.

There exists and ancient and foreboding monastery, high upon the peaks of the mountains of Gah'zoole, wherein live the white-robed, white-hatted members of the Order of Mish-Ellin, the Curators of Cuisine. Few have ever managed to reach their house of culinary contemplation and epicurean esoterica. Fewer still have returned alive.

Coldness would just hide much of the flavors and richness in many kinds of (malty) beers. I'd say that most porters and stouts, expecially imperial porters and stouts shouldn't be drunk too cold.
Not every beer is like some lager that tastes better cold and refreshing.

The salamander is not fried, the skin of the tail (which the pictured portions of meat are from, the most flavorful part of the creature) takes on a unique and much-prized "crusty" quality when lightly oiled and cooked slowly over a low flame. It adds an interesting bit of texture to the dish, similar to that obtained by breading for deep-fried foods, but without the heavy greasy mouth-feel such dishes often suffer.

What sort of foodstuffs might different dragons excel at? Sure, they've the option of the classic raw cow or human sacrifice, but surely they'd eventually branch out a little, especially if they tried food while polymorphed.
And if the setting borrows dragons slightly from Temeraire, they can have very refined palates with a little experience.
I imagine blues would have different cuisine than reds, bronzes, etc. Maybe silver dragons make excellent ice cream.

Well, by 'warm' you typically mean room temperature. Plenty of ales, stouts and bitters need to be at room temperature or at cellar temperature in order to taste properly. Mass produced lagers taste horrible at room temperature.

If you want to go maximum stereotype:

>Red: Anything they can get their hands on, cooked to anywhere between Well Done and Actually On Fire. Using dragonfire.
>Green: Everything is sour, all the time.
>Black: Everything is slimy, salty, and bitter.
>White: Nothing but ice cream and frozen foods straight out of the box.
>Blue: The only Chromatics who PROBABLY won't eat sapients, tend to just eat whatever's popular in the area.

>Gold: Dried foods in minimal amounts, supplemented with gems.
>Silver: Whatever the local humanoids eat.
>Bronze: Seafood day in and day out. Anything that isn't sushi is lightning-seared.
>Brass: Anything that might entice someone to stick around for idle chatter.
>Copper: I swear if he puts a slow-dissolve packet containing pop rocks in my soda ONE MORE TIME, I'll-

Would love to see a traditional tea house run by a Dromite family. Psionc bug people going full on geisha service with a variety of herbal teas and sake style wines and artisan food. No need to order because they are telepathic. They call it "The Nest" for the cozy images the name invokes. Opening soon just down the street from the favorite local dwarf cafe and elf pub.
>>
>>49854516
I'm still waiting on Bear Bed & Breakfast for the image of Gormack butchering all the vacationing geriatrics because his scrambled eggs weren't fluffy. The werebears change to hybrid form to try and stop him but he manages to hold his own and eventually defeat them.
>>
>>49854532
Across the street from the Werebear B&B, on the south side of town, sounds like the best place for The Nest.
>>
>>49854516
Reasons for a dromite tea house:

Dromites are primarily herbivores as they have a rather difficult time digesting the proteins of most animals. Like termites and architect bugs, Dromites are xylophagous, meaning that they eat wood and other such things , although this does not form the sum total of their diet. Fruits, legumes, leaves, roots, fungi, nuts, seeds and grains are also important to the dromite diet and their digestive system is set up accordingly.

Unlike ruminant mammals, dromites do not possess a chambered stomach to ferment and break down the plant matter they consume. Instead they rely upon a diverse gut fauna to produce some the enzymes they need to extract nutrients from their food as well as producing their own cellulase.

Aside from the various cellulase producing glands and bacterial colonies, the digestive system of the dromite is fairly conventional.
>>
>>49854658
I don't get it. What's the reason?
>>
>>49854682
Because they are primarily herbivores. They don't do a lot of meats, but focus of plants of all sorts. Traditional tea house foods are the same way. Dishes are mostly veggies and grains with small accents of fish or other meats. Desserts tend to be fruit or nut based.

The dromite diet just fits well.

Here's what he might look like in Shadowrun 5e.

Gormack Sourbrow never learned how to cook, but he knows what tastes good. As a self-proclaimed food connoisseur, he travels from town to town searching for the perfect restaurant. Those that fail to impress are given the axe, quite literally; nothing but corpses and rubble remain. They say that unworthy owners can sense their impending doom before he even opens the door. And who can blame them? Few measure up to the grizzled war veteran, and even fewer still when he decides to wear a shirt.

Horses aren't even strictly vegan. They'll eat animal products or even meat if hungry/nutritionally-deprived/curious enough. Yes, curious enough. Some horses just try it for kicks and some of those develop a taste for it. There's a breed of ponies in some fuck off awful russia/asia mountain range that eats mostly fish. And for a long time many asian cultures would feed their horses on blood and other animal parts as a more efficent source of nutrition. Grass is almost worthless, grain is a bit better but tends to rely on sugar for energy, and horses have shitty digestive systems that waste almost 50% of what they eat, so blood, offal and straight meat are a good source of dense digestible nutrition for them.

I had a horse who would chase down snakes and kill them for sport and I definitely caught her taking a nibble once or twice. Not quite the the man eater of Lucknow, but she was still a pretty brutal cunt.

Yeah, honestly it's the most likely of the myths to be true. It really wouldn't be that weird for a king to just have some crazy ass fucking horses that eat human flesh. There's precedent of exactly that. Google the man eater of lucknow if you want to read some fuckin shit. Crazy ass horse that terrorized the slums of Lucknow, killing everything it saw, with a preference for eating children. The king of India was like "yo that's that sounds fuckin tight" so he captured it and made it fight a tiger that he had starved and tortured for days to make it crazy vicious. Guess who won.

This is why you eat them at 3am in the morning, with your crew after a show, as you all ask what's even happened to your lives as you watch two tables get up to charge out and fight each other in the lot, get stabbed, and carted off by police and ambulances.

Oh, man... Everything... Everything makes so much sense now.

My grandfather would always call pancakes a light breakfast, and my whole life I've been eating them on morning where I had important shit to do because I thought that way I could stay refreshed and energized, and it NEVER worked. I just thought I had the shittiest luck, always feeling so sluggish the whole day after.

This is like mindblowing shit.

Thanks a lot, gramps.

It's why it's called a BALANCED breakfast. You'd want a piece of toast with butter at the most, and the sugars should come from fruits or at most some in your coffee. Overloading on carbs and sugars first meal is a day off thing. Not a Shit I Gotta Run A Marathon And Then Take Physics Test day.

The other thread mentioned a cafe (or bakery? I think?) ran by fantasy comedy anime type minotaurs, the kind where the males are huge and scary and the women are cute girls with huge tits. With breastmilk jokes.

That's another destination for Gormack. I imagine him as someone who has not the slightest interest in tits or women in general, basically asexual, his only passions are battle and fine dining. He just gets super pissed about the implication of where the milk came from, screaming about how the texture and taste of breastmilk are completely different and unacceptably ruin the pastries, cuts everyone down.

Honestly, I think we should leave Gormack to Gormack-anon. He's been doing an awesome job, and I don't see why we shouldn't wait for quality writing.

If you want to write something along those lines, why not from a different point of view? Maybe from the view of one of the chefs that gets one of Gormacks extreme ridiculous requests and your efforts to fulfill it? Or maybe you're a regular patron to an eatery and Gormack pays you a visit.
