Song Joong-Won, I want a six-part docuseries about you

This particular passage jumped out to me.

Why I find it interesting is that it’s framing the “noble spices” as something very fancy that not a lot of common folk have and tries to portray Rozemyne as ‘better’ because she enjoys simple flavors.

This is made because she’s Japanese, and Japanese people (seem to) prefer less condiments.

In Europe spices were originally brought for nobles because they were the only ones who could afford them. Kinda like the sugar thing going on in the first volumes.

It’s sort of a way to frame her taste as something that connects her to the common folk. That makes her relatable.

But in Europe, eventually, due to the merchant trades, spices became super common, which made them cheap. And nobles ditched the spices cause even peasants could eat them.

Rozemyne describes the Ahrensbach cuisine as spicy. Which makes me wonder.

I understand a lot of people don’t like spicy food. But as someone who does, it sounds really wild to see someone describe it so unfavorably

I think Kiryu can probably handle spice decently, if only because he eats out so much when he's not at the orphanage. Ichiban's spice tolerance was definitely gone after 18 years of prison food, but he could have built it up since then. I think between prison and the mountain village Saejima has gotten so used to miniman seasonings that he can't handle spice at all. Adachi thinks eating super spicy food is a good way to impress a date so he's built up a lot of tolerance but nowadays it tends to give him heartburn.

remembering that adachi wanted ichi to eat spicy food to impress saeko alone makes this assessment 100% real and accurate im so grateful to have scholars in my inbox to indulge my impulse posting

Warrior Bites: The Overview

A new series on Clan Culture I’m going to be running in addition to my Herb Guides and Warrior Cats conlang, Clanmew. This follows how to prepare fancy meals that a semi-canon compliant Warrior would have access to, with the assumption that the Five Clans are based in northeastern England.

A lot of the feedback and suggestions I got were based on speculating the capability of the cats and the sorts of things they could reasonably prepare, so I think it’s worth it to define the basics!

The Rules

No Poisons

Tool Use + Fire

Sweetness Tolerance + Stronger Stomachs

Northwestern England-friendly

I use the Lake Map Rework

(Explanation of each rule under the cut!)

1. No Poisons

I filter out any food that is deadly toxic to cats. That means that no dish will ever contain garlic, onions, currants, mint, raw potatoes, oregano, so on.

2. Tool Use + Fire Access

autism be damned my firestar can work a grill

I will be mixing in raw dishes here and there, and keeping preparation as simple as possible. However, based on the capability of the cats in canon, able to weave, tunnel, and practice medicine, there’s no reason they would not be able to start fire or handle simple tools.

Plus, it’ll give me an immense amount of freedom! It opens up smoking, baking, grilling, pickling, fermentation...

3. Sweetness Tolerance + Stronger Stomachs

I won’t be changing that warrior cats are obligate carnivores, meaning that 70% or more of their diet is meat, but I will be allowing for some spices and plant material to accentuate their dishes. That means that I will allow foods that (when consumed in excess) can cause upset stomachs in real cats, like rosemary, yams, and berries.

So please do not feed these recipes to your real cats.

The Clan cats will also be able to taste a small amount of sweetness, if the warrior has Sweetness Tolerance.

Sweetness Tolerance is the Warrior Cat equivalent to lactose tolerance. Kittens can taste sweetness and typically grow out of it, but most Clan cats have a gene to enjoy this taste into adulthood.

(Firestar does not like waffles because he cannot taste syrup. Sad but true.)

4. It must be found in northwestern England.

It can be native, naturalized, or invasive, but it’s gotta be accessible in northwestern England, between Wales and Scotland. I’ll also be limiting access to crops and spices that can’t grow wild.

I’m being SO brave about this. They don’t even have pepper :(

5. I am using my Lake Map Rework.

This lets me keep the cuisine largely the same between the Forest territory and the Lake territory, except for ShadowClan’s loss of the carrionplace and the addition of a large body of calm water for RiverClan.

That doesn’t mean I’ll necessarily keep the food EXACTLY the same between the two territories, but it does give me the freedom to make creative choices about culinary differences instead of being stuck with something.

btw guys toji is a messy eater.

he was the type of kid to shove his cousin's faces into the cake (whenever his parents weren't looking and allowed it), so he obviously grew up to be a pig.

he will eat sandwiches like a barbarian and have egg yolk running down his hands and absolutely devour any sort of meat. if it's in front of him and still for longer than five secs he Will Eat it.

(that includes you)
