It might be late at night, but I finally sat down to do some writing! I'm finishing up the lore and cosmology post for chapter three of Godhunt:

Foxton’s celebration diverts from both Osling’s and Haulder’s in that they honor the god of the forest, the Holly-Crowned One, by traditionally hosting the Flower Dance near the edge of the forest. The girls are encouraged to “hunt” their future husbands in reverence to the god of the forest. There have been stories of the Holly-Crowned One making appearances at the Flower Dance and stealing away a reveler for their own entertainment. Traditionally, dishes served at the Flower Dance are emblematic of the flower crowns or the bonfire. Crown buns, which is a braided pastry ring often drizzled with cream or sprinkled with icing sugar, is typically served at celebrations in Haulder, Osling, and Foxton alike. The variations of each comes from the different ingredients: Haulder's crown buns are made with cream cheese, Osling's are made with cinnamon, and Foxton's are made with strawberries. Other refreshments include but are not limited to herbed savory scones, hard cheeses usually served with various types of fruit preserves, and in Foxton, foraged mushrooms and greens; which were typically gathered and prepared on the day of the ceremony. Mead was also considered traditional, but the restriction of its consumption in Foxton has led to its absence in recent years.

New Zealand North Island Adventure day 3: Taupo -> Wellington - Explored the town next to Lake Taupo. Couldn’t do the Huka Waterfall Track due to time and energy limits. Stopped at Lake Taupo Full Moon Lookout near Motutere, Gumboot Sculpture at Taihape, Foxton and arrived Wellington early enough to get dinner. It’s very windy here. Would stay 2 days to navigate around by foot or short drives. #taupo #laketaupo #taihape #gumbootsculpture #streetart #foxton #northislandnz #newzealand #roadtrip (at Wellington, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqAkz-gvljI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🍽️ - What does a traditional meal look like in one of the cultures from your world (food, way of eating, and/or table manners)?

In Foxton, table manners are considered extremely valuable for those wishing to get ahead in society. The higher you get in society, the more complicated the rules become: multiple courses, multiple utensils, using your napkin, etc. For example, you are expected to blot any excess food from your mouth, not wipe.

Bread and baked goods are staples, and every table will have a basket of rolls. Fish and game are common proteins. Beer, mead, and apple cider are common alcoholic drinks, though mead has been banned for its "dangerous properties." Wine and champagne are very expensive.

Guests are expected to be offered food upon arrival; denying food twice but accepting it a third time is considered acceptable. To be offered food less than three times suggests that your host does not want you there, while denying food more than three times suggests that you think lowly of your host. Not being offered food at all is the height of rudeness.
