D&D Style Meals

[Anonymous No.6909405]

I was trying to think of a good, simple D&D themed meal for my party. I was thinking homemade chicken and dumplings. Not sure on dessert. Simple poundcake with some kind of fruit compote?

Yes, because when you think of fantasy food you instantly think chicken stew and dumplings.

Stupid fuck. If you are already set on your incorrect food plan, why even start a thread other than trying to start an argument about your poor choices?

[Grong Smash No.6909465]

My friends and I have done this before with the following foods laid out:

Roasted Turkey Legs
Honey Glazed Carrots
Beef Jerky (homemade and thick)
Basic Salad (lettuce, onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, olives)
Ales, Beers, Hard Liqueurs, Wines, and Mead of course
Fresh Baked Breads like Sourdough, Wheat, Spelt and even an Elven "Lembas Bread"
Hard Boiled Eggs
Baked Ham
Roast Pork Loin with Garlic
The Bruce (Medieval Soup Recipe)
Baked Potatoes
Beef Stew
Bacon lots of Bacon
Honey Butter
Roast Pheasant
Roasted Chicken
Meat Bread
Pies ( pumpkin, apple, berry)
Coffee
Tea
Beats
Turnips
Assorted Candies (like homemade rock candy, Caramels, unsweetened chocolates)
Assorted Fruits (apples, Oranges and so on)
Rice (both fried and white)

these are just some of the things we have done in the past.

Yes if you make it fresh and have a good meat to use in it. We've had 3 or 4 different meats in the breads and no one complained. of course we are all medieval geeks/nerds as well and have studied a lot about foods for feasts and home brew our own beers, ales, meads and wines. one of our friends just opened his own distillery and makes a killer apple jack that's about 150 proof as well.

Well if you want to get into the historical facts, chicken was a massively rare meat to eat in the days before intensive farming as they were more valuable for their eggs than their meat. So once more you sound like a faggot going on a tard flailing spree.

You can also look in the different players/DM's Guides from over the years and see what food items can be bought from the stores etc... usually have a list or 2 in there and some say what was common and so on next to them

Right outside of Everlund, early onset of winter. Friend's family does have a farm. Primary person cooking is a half-orc who would really like to be a halfing and dance around a Party Tree wearing ribbons in her hair, if she had her druthers, but she was raised by the human Uthgar tribe in the north, though she spent substantial time in the employee of civilized folk in Citadel Adbar.

[Anonymous No.6909574]

>>6909535
Well, it wasn't MASSIVELY rare, but it certainly wasn't every day. You had chicken when you had too many cocks, or when a hen was past her laying years. In that case, you'd cook 'em low and slow because they were old, tough birds. I'd be more concerned with the dumplings than the bird, along with the circumstances you're cooking in. Does the party lug along a cookpot? If you're camping out, something like sizzled smoked sausages, cheese, and eggs along with some traveling bread would be fairly authentic. Remember that adventurers are fairly well-to-do and could afford to get some good food unless they're some level 1 scrubs.

When my group was in town, I would make stews with pot roast, turnips, and onions. On the road, it's traveling food, with hard-wearing fruits, sausages, and flatbread.

>>6909559
I'd avoid chicken and dumplings if you're trying to be realistic, unless your character is the type to have a good cookpot and hours to spare on dinner. If you're near a farm, you can count on some eggs, some cheese, and a bit of meat. If your group has some money to spare, I'd say fried smoked sausages, onions, and eggs on quickbread, if you have a frying pan. Otherwise, think in terms of camping food: roasted veggies tucked into the coals and then peeled, some good fresh cheese, and black bread.

Grab some turnips, onions, or beets from the store. Avoid potatoes and corn; stick to Old World veggies.

In a previous fantasy thread someone posted a website that had a list and recipes for everything that the Dwarves ate when they were at Bilbos house. It turns out that it was all real English food that Tolkien liked. I'm not having much luck finding the site but old world, fantasy and it looked good so it seems ideal.

[Anonymous No.6909628]

Hmmm, i'd probably assume that D&D food is european peasant cuisine.

-Perpetual soup
-Lots of bone broth
-Dry-cured meats like Salami and Pancetta
-Stuff like Soup L'Oignon
-Rustic breads
-Flat breads
-Roasted sausages
-Roasted chickens
-Cheeses
-Lots of fermented vegetables
-To drink, lots of non-filtered homebrew or craft ales and meads. Gruits would be great.
-No sugar, only honey at best
-For noblemen and kings, large roasted animals without meat cuts
-No chili peppers/bellpeppers, no corn, no chocolate, etc

Get some dried meats and some good cheeses and make a platter out of it. They're both kind of medieval.

For the main meal I would make a roast out of beef, chicken, or turkey. Simple meat has a good medieval feel. Just shred it with some bread to serve.

>>6909405
Without trying to derail the thread or turning it into a shitstorm about historical accuracy, if we assume the medieval 'known world' as a point of reference, food from the americas wouldn't be appropriate, so toms, potatoes, beans and turkey are out. Sugar was extremely pricey, white flour was a sign of affluance. Prime cuts were reserved for nobility, for lower classes offal, extremities and preserved meats were the norm. Forget about using oil, cooking with fat is the way to go. Raw veg and fruit was commonly considered harmful, so salads are also out.

Use spices liberally, they were used to mask the flavor of slightly off meat, as preservation techniques weren't very effective.

Root parsley, beets, turnips, legumes, a variety of porridges were very common filers and I'd also expect to see a lot more fish, even ones we think today exotic or rare - e.g. frogs were considered fish as well, and in England a law was passed that forbade feeding workers with salmon more than 4 times a week.

Based on this, I'd suggest porridges and stews, hearty soups, pies, slow baked cheaper cuts of sheep, goat and pork with root veg and brown bread, grilled or baked fish, sausages served all at once.

Forks are a relatively late invention, so use knives and spoons.
