Lunch Recipe: Greek Souvlaki With Wild Boar Tenderloin

Souvlaki is basically like the Greek version of a kebab. It involves giving the meat a lengthy soak in a flavorful marinade and then grilling the tasty chunks on skewers. Then the skewers are served inside pita bread with fresh (or grilled) vegetables and tzatziki sauce drizzled generously over top. Often available as satisfying street food in Greece, souvlaki is portable, quick and delicious. It’s most often served with pork, chicken or beef, but I chose to recreate authentic Greek souvlaki with our wild boar tenderloin. Although you don’t really need to marinate the meat for a full 24 hours, you’ll be glad you did if time permits. However, if you’re making these on the fly and time is short, marinating for 30 minutes or an hour will be just fine.

Ingredients:

🍴 2 lbs wild boar tenderloin, chopped into large cubes 🍴 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 🍴 Juice of one lemon 🍴 5 large cloves of garlic, minced 🍴 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano 🍴 ¾ teaspoon sea salt 🍴 ¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 🍴 ¼ – ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 🍴 ¼ cup chopped parsley 🍴 Pita bread and tzatziki sauce for serving 🍴 Lemon slices and cherry tomatoes for garnish. https://bit.ly/3iizf7W

Searching everywhere for that extraordinary dish to serve at the festive season for a sit-down dinner? You came to the right place, because I do have a super recipe to share with you!

This wild boar dish is prepared in a lush marinade with plenty of wine and vegetables, which help to tenderize the steaks to perfection.

Next the steaks are seared lightly to seal their juices and then they are baked in a clay pot with shallots, mushrooms, dried apricots and plenty of Greek cheese which melts on top to give that extra kick to this super umami dish.

Let me show you how to put this meal together this festive season and impress your guests.

 

INGREDIENTS:

Ingredients for the marinade:

•          1 kg. / 2.25 lb Wild Boar Steaks (about 14-15 small steaks)

•          1 large Onion, sliced

•          2 Garlic Cloves, finely chopped

•          150 gr. / 5.5 oz Small Carrots, cut in 1 cm / 0.4 in. thick rounds

•          1 Celery stalk, cut in 1 cm / 0.4 in. thick rounds

•          About 500 ml / 2 cups Greek Red Wine

•          About 1/2 cup / 120 ml Olive Oil

•          1/2 tbsp. black Pepper corns

•          1 Cinnamon stick

•          4 Bay Leaves

Rest of Ingredients:

•          500 gr. / 1 lb 2 oz Shallots

•          120 gr. / 4.2 oz / 2 pcs. Portobello Mushrooms (or pleurotus), sliced

•          About 270 gr. / 9.5 oz / 30-32 pcs. Dried Apricots

•          1 tsp. Sugar

•          150 gr. / 5.5 oz Kefalograviera Cheese, sticks (altern: Manchego)

•          Freshly ground Salt

METHOD:

A.    Marinade the wild boar steaks the day before:

1.     Game (wild) meat is usually harder (tougher) than normal meat and not very fatty. Hence it is generally advised to marinate it for 24 hours in order for the meat to absorb the marinade and become more tender.

2.     Use a clay pot with lid of 28 cm / 11 in. or a round oven dish of same diameter.

3.     Pour about 60 ml / 4 tbsp. from the Olive oil in the pot.

4.     Spread the chopped carrots, celery, onions and garlic plus the pepper corns all around.

5.     Place the wild boar steaks on top of the veggies.

6.     Pour the red wine on top to cover the steaks completely (wine actually does all the work to tenderize the meat).

7.     Pour 2 tbsp. Olive oil in the wine and gently dip the bay leaves and cinnamon stick in the wine sauce.

8.     Cover the pot with its lid and place in the fridge for 24 hours!

 

B.    Prepare veggies, sauce, steaks and assemble for baking:

9.     The next day, take out the pot with the marinated steaks from the fridge. Let steaks come to room temperature for 1 hour before you sear them.

10.  With a mesh strainer, remove steaks from the pot. Place them separately in a plate. Pat dry them very well with thick, absorbent paper.

11.  Remove the marinated vegetables and sauce from the clay pot and into a jar. Reserve.

12.  In the now empty clay pot, add in layers: shallots, mushrooms and half of the dried apricots. Reserve.

13.  Pour the rest of olive oil (2 tbsp.) in a large, high-sided cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.

14.  When oil heats up, place half of the steaks in the pan (not all, otherwise they will be cooked instead!).

15.  Sear them briefly for 1’ on one side to seal them.

16.  Flip them and repeat.

17.  Remove the 1st batch from the pan, placing the seared steaks directly in the clay pot on top of the layers of vegetables.

18.  Repeat for the 2nd batch of steaks.

19.  Use the same pan with the oil over medium-high heat, pouring in the sauce (marinade).

20.  When it starts boiling, adjust heat to medium and let sauce simmer for about 15’ to be reduced in half.

21.  Add also the sugar in the sauce, blending it in.

22.  After 15', check if vegetables are a bit softer and turn off the heat. Take a look at this lush sauce!

23.  Pour it in the clay pot on top of the steaks to cover them.

24.  To finish, dip the rest of dried apricots in the sauce and then spread the cheese sticks all around.

25.  Place the lid on top and it's now ready for delicious baking!

 

C.     Baking instructions:

26.  Place clay pot with wild boar steaks on the bottom shelf of a preheated Oven FAN @ 200 ℃ / 400 ℉ and bake with lid on first for 45' (depends on the oven).

27.  After 45', open the oven, remove the lid and season with some ground Salt (not too much because there is plenty of cheese!). Return in the oven.

28.  Bake for another 15' (total baking time: 1 h).

29.  Remove clay pot from the oven and place it on the kitchen bench for 10' to set, before serving.

D. Serving suggestion:

Immediately, serve the wild boar steaks in the clay pot as a centerpiece, while still hot!

Place some of the baked vegetables in each plate, add a couple spoonfuls of the lush wine sauce and on top add 2-3 wild boar steaks (p.p.) and serve!!

Here my baked Wild boar with apricots and cheese is served with candied Sweet potatoes with marshmallows, mashed potatoes, homemade bread (from bread machine), red Wine and for dessert my easy pumpkin pie.

The wine helps break down some of the gamey flavour but also adds a “contradictory” sweet taste in the sauce together with the apricots, while the melted cheese matches this umami dish and brings it to new heights of deliciousness!

Wow, the steaks are so scrumptious and tender, what we call "Loukoumi". Such a crowd pleaser for young and old, especially at Thanksgiving or the Holiday season.

Kali Orexi, Bon Appetit which I am certain you have with all these amazing smells!!

Enjoy it this festive season!

E. Storage info:

Leftovers can be stored (when cool) in an airtight container, in the fridge, for up to 1 week or in the freezer for 1 month.

Πάμε λοιπόν να σας δείξω πώς να φτιάξετε αυτό το γεύμα αυτή τη γιορτινή περίοδο και να εντυπωσιάσετε τους καλεσμένους σας.

 

ΥΛΙΚΑ:

Υλικά για τη μαρινάδα:

• 1 κιλό / 2,25 lb Αγριογούρουνο Φιλέτα (περίπου 14-15 φιλετάκια)

• 1 μεγάλο ξερό Κρεμμύδι, κομμένο σε φέτες

• 2 Σκελίδες Σκόρδο, ψιλοκομμένες

• 150 γρ. / 5,5 oz Καροτάκια, κομμένα σε ροδέλες πάχους 1 εκ. / 0,4 ίντσες

• 1 Σέλερυ, κομμένο σε ροδέλες πάχους 1 εκ. / 0,4 ίντσες

• Περίπου 500 ml / 2 φλιτζάνια Κόκκινο Κρασί

• Περίπου 1/2 φλ. / 120 ml Ελαιόλαδο

• 1/2 κ.σ. κόκκους μαύρο Πιπέρι

• 1 ξυλάκι Κανέλας

• 4 φύλλα Δάφνης

 

Υπόλοιπα Υλικά:

• 500 γρ. / 1 lb 2 oz Ασκαλώνια

• 120 γρ. / 4,2 oz / 2 τεμ. Μανιτάρια Portobello (ή πλευρώτους), κομμένα σε φέτες

• Περίπου 270 γρ. / 9,5 oz / 30-32 Αποξηραμένα Βερίκοκα

• 1 κ.γ. Ζάχαρη

• 150 γρ. / 5,5 oz Κεφαλογραβιέρα, σε στικ

• Φρεσκοτριμμένο Αλάτι

ΜΕΘΟΔΟΣ:

Α. Μαρινάρετε τα φιλετάκια αγριογούρουνου την προηγούμενη μέρα:

1. Το κυνήγι (κρέας αγρίου ζώου) είναι συνήθως πιο σκληρό από το κανονικό κρέας και όχι πολύ λιπαρό. Ως εκ τούτου, γενικά συνιστάται να το μαρινάρετε για 24 ώρες για να απορροφήσει το κρέας τη μαρινάδα και να γίνει πιο τρυφερό και μαλακό.

2. Χρησιμοποιήστε ένα πήλινο σκεύος (γάστρα) με καπάκι των 28 cm / 11 in. ή ένα στρογγυλό ταψί φούρνου ίδιας διαμέτρου.

3. Ρίξτε περίπου 60 ml / 4 κ.σ. από το ελαιόλαδο στη γάστρα.

4. Απλώστε τριγύρω τα κομμένα καρότα, το σέλινο, τα κρεμμύδια και το σκόρδο συν τους κόκκους πιπεριού.

5. Βάλτε τα φιλέτα αγριογούρουνου πάνω από τα λαχανικά.

6. Ρίξτε το κόκκινο κρασί από πάνω για να καλύψετε πλήρως τα φιλέτα (το κρασί κάνει στην πραγματικότητα όλη τη δουλειά για να μαλακώσει το κρέας).

7. Ρίξτε 2 κ.σ. Ελαιόλαδο μέσα στο κρασί και βουτήξτε απαλά τα φύλλα δάφνης και το ξυλάκι κανέλας μέσα στη σάλτσα κρασιού.

8. Σκεπάστε τη γάστρα με το καπάκι της και βάλτε στο ψυγείο για 24 ώρες!

 

Β. Ετοιμάστε τα λαχανικά, σάλτσα, φιλέτα και συναρμολογήστε τα για το ψήσιμο:

9. Την επόμενη μέρα βγάλτε τη γάστρα με τα μαριναρισμένα φιλέτα από το ψυγείο. Αφήστε τα να έρθουν σε θερμοκρασία δωματίου για 1 ώρα πριν τα ψήσετε.

10. Με τρυπητή κουτάλα αφαιρέστε τα φιλέτα από τη γάστρα. Τοποθετήστε τα χωριστά σε ένα πιάτο. Στεγνώστε τα πολύ καλά, ταμπονάροντας τα με χοντρό απορροφητικό χαρτί.

11. Χύστε τα μαριναρισμένα λαχανικά και τη σάλτσα από τη γάστρα σε μια καράφα. Κρατήστε στην άκρη.

12. Στο άδειο πλέον πήλινο σκεύος προσθέστε σε στρώσεις: τα ασκαλώνια, μανιτάρια και τα μισά αποξηραμένα βερίκοκα. Βάλτε στην άκρη.

13. Ρίξτε το υπόλοιπο ελαιόλαδο (2 κ.σ.) σε ένα μεγάλο τηγάνι με ψηλά τοιχώματα από χυτοσίδηρο πάνω από μέτρια προς δυνατή φωτιά.

14. Μόλις ζεσταθεί το λάδι, βάλτε τα μισά από τα φιλέτα στο τηγάνι (όχι όλα, διαφορετικά θα βράσουν!).

15. Τσιγαρίστε για 1’ από τη μία πλευρά για να σφραγιστούν οι χυμοί τους.

16. Αναποδογυρίστε τα και επαναλάβετε.

17. Αφαιρέστε την 1η παρτίδα από το τηγάνι, βάζοντας τα ψημένα φιλέτα απευθείας στη γάστρα πάνω από τις στρώσεις λαχανικών.

18. Επαναλάβετε για τη 2η παρτίδα φιλέτα.

19. Χρησιμοποιήστε το ίδιο τηγάνι με το λάδι σε μέτρια προς δυνατή φωτιά, ρίχνοντας μέσα τη σάλτσα (μαρινάδα).

20. Μόλις αρχίσει να βράζει, ρυθμίστε τη φωτιά σε μέτρια και αφήστε τη σάλτσα να σιγοβράσει για περίπου 15’ ώστε να μειωθεί στο μισό.

21. Προσθέστε επίσης τη ζάχαρη στη σάλτσα, ανακατεύοντάς την.

22. Μετά από 15' τσεκάρετε αν τα λαχανικά είναι κάπως πιο μαλακά και σβήστε τη φωτιά. Ρίξτε μια ματιά σε αυτή την πλούσια σάλτσα!

23. Αδειάστε τη στη γάστρα πάνω από τα φιλέτα να καλυφθούν.

24. Για να τελειώσετε, βουτήξτε τα υπόλοιπα ξερά βερίκοκα στη σάλτσα και μετά απλώστε γύρω-γύρω το τυρί.

25. Τοποθετήστε το καπάκι από πάνω και είναι πλέον έτοιμα για πεντανόστιμο ψήσιμο!

 

Γ. Οδηγίες ψησίματος:

26. Βάλτε τη γάστρα με τα φιλέτα αγριογούρουνου στη κάτω σχάρα ενός προθερμασμένου φούρνου, στον αέρα @ 200 ℃ / 400 ℉ και ψήστε με το καπάκι πρώτα για 45' (εξαρτάται από τον φούρνο).

27. Μετά από 45' ανοίξτε το φούρνο, αφαιρέστε το καπάκι και καρυκέψτε με λίγο φρεσκοαλεσμένο Αλάτι (όχι πολύ γιατί έχει μπόλικο τυρί!). Επιστρέψτε στο φούρνο.

28. Ψήστε για 15' ακόμα (συνολικός χρόνος ψησίματος: 1 ώρα).

29. Βγάλτε τη γάστρα από το φούρνο και τοποθετήστε τη στον πάγκο της κουζίνας για 10' να δέσει το φαΐ, πριν το σερβίρετε.

Δ. Πρόταση σερβιρίσματος:

Σερβίρετε αμέσως τα φιλέτα αγριογούρουνου όπως είναι στη γάστρα στο κέντρο του τραπεζιού, όσο είναι ακόμα καυτά!

Βάλτε μερικά από τα ψημένα λαχανικά σε κάθε πιάτο, προσθέστε μια-δυο κουταλιές από την πλούσια σάλτσα κρασιού και από πάνω τοποθετήστε 2-3 φιλέτα (α.α.) και σερβίρετε!!

Εδώ σερβίρω το ψημένο μου αγριογούρουνο με βερίκοκα και τυρί με γλυκοπατάτες γλασέ με marshmallows, πατάτες πουρέ, σπιτικό ψωμί (από μηχανή ψωμιού), κόκκινο κρασί και για επιδόρπιο την εύκολη κολοκυθόπιτα μου.

Το κρασί βοηθάει στη διάσπαση της έντονης γεύσης κυνηγιού αλλά προσθέτει και μια «αντιφατική» γλυκιά γεύση στη σάλτσα μαζί με τα βερίκοκα, ενώ το λιωμένο τυρί ταιριάζει τόσο με αυτό το umami πιάτο φέρνοντας το σε νέα ύψη νοστιμιάς!

Πω πω, τα φιλέτα είναι τόσο λαχταριστά και τρυφερά, σκέτο Λουκούμι. Ένα πιάτο που θα καταπλήξει μικρούς και μεγάλους, ειδικά την Ημέρα των Ευχαριστιών ή την περίοδο των Γιορτών.

Καλή Όρεξη που είμαι σίγουρη ότι θα έχετε με όλες αυτές τις υπέροχες μυρωδιές!!

Απολαύστε το αυτές τις γιορτές!

 

Ε. Πληροφορίες φύλαξης:

Τα υπολείμματα μπορούν να φυλαχτούν (όταν κρυώσουν) σε αεροστεγές δοχείο, στο ψυγείο, έως και 1 εβδομάδα ή στην κατάψυξη για 1 μήνα.

Do you even like cookies anymore?

okay so there's this story i recall about the people who made Asterix lamenting that they wrote the main characters eating dozens of wild boars per meal because this meant any business dinner the comics creators were invited to had people trying to serve them boar meat, which just made them feel bad and apparently doesn't even taste that good

my point here is that this absolutely does not apply to my situation and my love of cookies is genuine. looking up reference pictures is still a delight as is turning them into little pixels. cookies make up a good 15% of my sustenance and at some point soon i'd like to bake some more based on my mom's recipe because the last batch came out great. cookies rule

Evonie doesn’t mind if she gets a bit dirty when accomplishing a task but she makes sure that she still looks presentable and cleans up to maintain her image as a dorm leader.

She is decently sociable but it is clear that there is a wall she puts up. If she is with people she can be vulnerable around, she doesn’t hold back on what her opinion is to an extent. Those close to her know that she will support her friends throughout their issues.

She has a mild level of patience; she can tolerate small mistakes but if the mistakes keep repeating then she might have to consult the person to see if there is anything wrong.

But if it is anything like Allison does, she definitely won’t tolerate that will sternly reprimand them. Her patience reaching its limit is rather rare, but when it happens then expect yelling and spells being thrown about.

Evonie is good at multitasking, she can hold a full conversation even if she is not looking at what she is doing to face the person she is speaking to. It’s something she developed at home.

She is very competitive, it is something she developed with her dads, and she loved the feeling of being victorious. So, if she ever loses, she is determined to come up with ways to win next time. It may get irritating to lose but she is a good sport, unless she finds out the opponent is cheating, then she won’t tolerate that.

Although she is aware of people and their behavior, she doesn’t always have an accurate conclusion of what the person would do and she would be a bit suspicious but without any concrete evidence she will drop her assumptions and leave it alone.

She makes sure she has proper table manners when eating, but if she is in private, she will slouch and eat to her own standards of comfort, she still keeps in mind of any crumbs that might fall.

Like Snow White, she has a fear of anything scary. She dislikes going to dark places by herself and if she sees something out of the corner of her eye then she will turn her head so fast to make sure nothing was there. She loses her composure and will activate fight or flight mode on instinct.

Hometown: Town of Orchard Fields

Family Life

Evonie was adopted by Rote and Schnee Apfel who became her parental figures. Her birthmother gave birth to her but knows that her illness will be detrimental for Evonie’s future. She contacts the Apfel couple who were acquaintances of hers and asked them to adopt Evonie.

The couple agrees and they raised Evonie in the Town of Orchard Fields. The house is built near a border with a large forest with a lot of wildlife and plants, it’s like a big backyard for her to explore.

Rote was the closest acquaintance of Evonie’s birthmother and it was he who made the decision to adopt the girl. Schnee teases him how during the first few years of raising a baby he went overboard in baby-proofing the house that they had so many pillows and Styrofoam than they know what to do with.

Evonie grew up as a polite girl, though she always had this curiosity to anything she thought might be a cute animal. Schnee made sure to teach her about the safety precautions when approaching a wild animal after he saw his daughter come home with a boar.

Though he doesn’t cook as much as Rote, he does know one recipe that he always taught Evonie, it was apple desserts that were pulled from his great grandmother’s cookbook. He’s kept that cookbook with him and hopes to one day pass it down to Evonie. Evonie’s favorite is the apple dumplings made by Schnee, she can’t get enough of it.

Childhood Memories

At first, Evonie was enjoying her time at school because everyone was very friendly to her. Of course, she is kind to them back to the point where she didn’t want to disappoint them. Until she found the outcast kid that the kids make fun of because of their appearance.

Evonie builds up courage to defend them and befriend the outcast. Which she thought was the right thing to do, at first, the outcast and Evonie got along and they were grateful for their help.

It wasn’t until the other kids cornered them and told the outcast how Evonie was just being nice because they were pitiful and how dare they think they’re equal to Evonie. This made them bitter and slowly drift apart from Evonie who had no clue what was going on.

When she heard news of her friend moving away, she wanted to say goodbye but when she managed to face them, the outcast hurled blame at her for their suffering. Telling her how she has it easy because she’ pretty and she thinks she’s so great but she was arrogant.

Evonie was silent but tears were flowing down her face, both of their parents heard the commotion and awkwardly bid farewell, they didn’t know what was wrong because they thought they got along well.

After that friend left, Evonie took what they said to heart and soon she started to realize how people kept complimenting her appearance instead of her skills. The people who admired her didn’t care about her at all, they just wanted to feel like they’re the popular clique by including Evonie. The ones who didn’t made it clear that they think she’s got it easy because of her looks.

This led Evonie to change her perspective, she didn’t wear pretty dresses unless it was necessary but she kept it simple and didn’t go all out. She didn’t socialize as much with people and often spent her days helping out at home or exploring the forest.

She preferred the company of animals more than people, knowing they care more about her compassion rather than her appearance.

The words of her ex-friend still linger her to this day, she would internally get annoyed whenever someone says she’s better suited for something else or disregards her effort.

Evonie is a 3rd Year Pommeneige student and is the current dorm leader.

Evonie is a model student, always makes sure to be efficient and ensure her dorm students wouldn’t fall behind by offering to help them in their studies to the best of her abilities. When she takes a break, it would be either a walk through the woods or just snacking on anything she craves.

The dorm students at first were unsure of s dorm leader who doesn’t quite portray the innocence of the Princess of the Dwarves, but they find her diligence and mature aura appealing and sometimes compares her to a prince. They nicknamed her the “Apple Knight”.

Evonie excels more when it comes to sports, especially fencing. Her Papa taught her and often sparred with her when he has time. Cooking is also another strong point in her education besides general subjects.

Regarding magic, she is more combat focused and often likes to physically incorporate spells with her movement like swinging a sword.

She thought that most students in DCA would be like the ones back home, only caring about appearances but she finds out that there are a lot of different girls here. She feels at ease to know that she can at least lift the weight on her shoulders.

Somewhere down the line, she developed this second persona to fully explore her wild side. Evonie wanted to feel free without having to think twice about her image. So, she set up a persona to really let herself go.

She showed up as a mystery idol once and it all developed from there. People have called her persona “The Masked Maiden” and she takes great measure to make sure no one can figure out her identity. So much so that she joined the theater club to improve her façade.

Evonie’s grades are fairly high, though she enjoys PE more because their coach has thrilling obstacle courses that really spark her motivation. Evonie is most skilled at fencing compared to the rest of the exercises.

School Relationships

Evonie is more drawn to befriend girls who can light up the competitive fire in her as well as genuinely enjoying her company. Vidya and Jinlong became her rivals due to their athleticism and how they always do things their way. Evonie admires them for wanting to be true to themselves so she follows their example.

Ella is another close friend of Evonie, though she barely remembers meeting Ella. Ella remembers Evonie as the Glaciel family went to Orchard Fields for a vacation and she remembers this pretty girl with dark hair who was nice enough to show her around the stalls and offer her some apple tarts. Though Ella seems like someone Evonie wouldn’t befriend at first, the girl’s kindness won her over.

They got even closer when Ella confided about her previous stepmother who left scars on her, mentally and physically. Evonie has not experienced that kind of abuse but she understands when Ella worries about appearance and wanting to hide what bothered them. She tends to shield Ella from anything bothering her out of habit.

Allison was a pain in the neck for Evonie, she can’t find common ground with the girl at all! She can somewhat understand not wanting to do etiquette but it’s still a class requirement. Evonie thinks she’s too reckless while Allison thinks Evonie is too hung up on maintaining an image. The only time those two can agree on something is through cooking, thought that ends quickly when Allison slips any raw fruit other than apples into her mouth.

Perrine and Evonie often share recipes and both found a common ground in sharing family traditions learned from past generations. Though Evonie can’t decide whether to be impressed or revolted when Perrine makes that weird food combination and eats it like it was 5 star.

Evonie’s relationship with Applette, her dorm fairy, is akin to her seeking comfort in the little creature. Applette’s form is derived from Evonie’s desire to feel genuine connections with other people. Applette is always sweet and kind, a contrast with Evonie’s cool and somewhat stern personality.

The fairy is there to be sympathetic as well as paint Evonie as a reliable sister figure to the dorm students.

Highness

Highness is a purple peacock that was given to Evonie when Schnee found an abandoned egg in the forest but there was no parent to be found. Highness was rather clingy as a chick, always looking for Evonie and crying whenever she went to school.

But Evonie still can’t understand how his attitude changed when he grew up, she guessed it might have been puberty that made him this way. She remembered using up all her saved money to buy him all those pricey bird products… it was definitely when she put too much effort into his care that he became this way.

Highness is arrogant and would stomp on anyone that he doesn’t deem worthy to get close to his personal space. Not even Evonie was spared but he does it less often when the threat of being sent to the vet was used.

Highness has his own personal trunk full of jewelry that he has Evonie dress him with, she doesn’t tell him that they’re mostly made from glass by Ella. There was no way that Evonie could afford such expensive jewelry so imitations are good enough as long as he doesn’t know.

Her unique magic is called, “Friends of the Forest”. The unique magic developed when Evonie felt awful after the confrontation with the ex-friend that she made the mistake of running into the forest during a rainstorm. She ended up crying under a hollow log from how hurt and scared she was.

Remembering the lullaby her dad often sang to her when she was scared, she quietly hummed the song unaware that the animals in the forest gathered around to comfort her. She was shocked at first to see so many animals around her but they brought her the comfort she needed until her parents found her.

Evonie often did this in private because it felt like her sanctuary if she ever gets stressed. She’s developed a soft spot for animals, Highness is a complicated case though.

She also excels in using fire magic due to her living in the woods and her family often having to camp out on special occasions. She can also use this offensively during matches by either setting projectiles or a dome trap.

Rote Apfel

Rote Apfel is called, “Dad” by Evonie and he has red hair and a large build that may seem intimidating but he is actually quite sweet and efficient in several handiwork around the household. Rote is only muscular because he did a lot of errands before which included chopping wood and heavy lifting.

He runs an animal sanctuary that cares for injured or abandoned animals. Quite a few of them have been adopted as family pets so it is expected to find a few animals lounging in their household.

Rote can’t help himself, all of the animals seem so cute to him, and he wished he had a bigger house to adopt them all. Schnee had to remind him that there is a limit to how many animals they can keep in the house.

Rote taught Evonie a lot of life hacks and tips on easy fixes on problems that usually need professionals to fix.

He is such a protective papa bear and often times his pouting face looks so intimidating without even meaning to. He is the empath that contrasts with Schnee’s parenting style.

Schnee Apfel

Schnee Apfel is called, “Papa” by Evonie and he has white hair and a slim build but he is very athletic with good reflexes. At first glance, he doesn’t seem intimidating due to his beautiful face but the moment he gets angry is when he becomes terrifying.

It comes with his job as a park ranger, he works in the town’s tourist park. There are times when he was called to handle a rampaging animal that might harm people nearby. But there are also entitled bastards or people with barely a brain cell who get themselves into trouble at the park.

Schnee doesn’t tolerate any nonsense in the park and is often called to handle the problematic visitors.

Schnee was the strict parent but he doesn’t go overboard in discipline. Most of the punishments when Evonie did something wrong was just household chores while he explains to her why it was wrong. He makes sure to properly teach her without being too harsh as he knows that children will be children.

He is the tough love kind of father which contrasts Rote’s parenting style.

Character’s name derives from “Ebony” with a few letter changes while her last name, “Apfel” is the German word for Apple.

Evonie can’t eat any other fruit raw besides apples, it’s still a mystery to her as to why. They’re fine when it comes to desserts or even jam but the raw product never fails to make her dislike it.

Despite her confidence, she actually can’t stand anything related to horror. She will shriek and hide away.

Her early concept was supposed to be a more confident and badass, Snow White. Her first two designs looked too similar to Weiss Schnee from RWBY, so she was redesigned.

Fever and Firelight

"How is she?" Yennefer asks, pulling over the rock that encloses the four of them in the large cave just east of the pontar river. Her basket is full of wild vegetables and fruits, while Jaskier pulls the carcass of the large boar she had taken down with her magic. The poor bard had lost his breakfast when Yennefer had gutted it, so he was stuck dragging it behind them, two thick ropes binding the hooves in each hand.

Geralt glances up at them both from his position, laying in the makeshift bed that Yennefer's magic had conjured a couple days before. He glances back down at the girl who lays on top of him, adjusting his hand on her back.

"No change, still wheezing." He replies, watching as Jaskier finally lay the body down on the floor, wheezing just as much as Ciri was, hunching over and clutching his knees. His eyes flash to the girl still sleeping on top of her protector, pushing back against the cave wall to hold his weight.

"Alright, big man, switch." Jaskier lollops over. "The bitchy witch won't get her hands dirty, and I am sure to hurl once again if I should ever see that boor beasts insides again." He finishes, opening his arms to take the girl from the witcher.

"Clean up, first. She's hardly likely to improve breathing in your sweat and boar blood." Geralt grunts, his arm wrapping tight around her back.

"Who's a clucky mother hen, then?" Jaskier laughs, poking Geralt's nose. The witcher growls at him, and Jaskier chuckles, stripping off his red leather coat.

Yennefer is silent as she starts separating the vegetables from the fruit. Her heart hurts, and she can not help her pain when she watches Geralt treat the girl with such kindness and gentleness. Big hands capable of such violence and pain gently running across blonde curls, holding onto her little body with such care and tenderness that Yennefer proposes that anybody who speaks ill of this witcher may be struck dead. This man is so gentle, nurturing, and protective, and she hates herself for hurting him and hurting the thing he cherishes most above all else.

Geralt and Jaskier swap roles as the Queen of Cintra's bed, with the witcher taking a moment to stretch his muscles, before going over to the body and kneeling over it. One of his daggers skins the beast, while the other begins to cut out all the muscle he can find. The bones have their uses, for broth and a couple of his own ilixr recipes. The offel and giblets make Jaskier nauseous, but he's sure they can make use of them in some way. Even sell them to a butcher if they get desperate. Vesemir always told he and his brothers to never waste a kill.

He thinks he should spend a few hours making the boar skin into a blanket for Jaskiers pony that he had named Oatmeal, for its mane was the colour of gruel. Ciri had laughed at him when he said it, her own Astoria even snuffling in disgust as she headbutted the horse in greeting.

He hopes she will be as amused by the name as she had been that day whenever she would break this impressive and terrible fever. Be the same fiesty and firey and fierce little warrior sorceress Queen he had always known her to be. And the logical part of his brain says she will, but the frantic part worries that the fever will be tok great and reduce her to a drooling invalid who would be taken out in the night and that be that.

"Calm down, Papa wolf." Jaskiers voice calls out. "Keep that face up and we won't need the magic floaty candles, you'll burst into flame."

He grumbles at the purple bard, who grins at him. Yennefer comes closer, and Geralt tenses as he had since he had put all the pieces together about Yennefer's deception and betrayal.

"Here-" she lays a handful of leaves next to his knee. "found these for her. Chamomile, I believe. With a few sprigs of cinnamon. Should help her."

Geralt takes them in his hand, letting out a quiet hum in her direction as the great and mighty sorceress begins to cop the tops off carrots and slice their stringy skins to get to the bright orange within.

He looks at her, and she looks at him.

"Oh, no, you fucking don't. You do not get me holding the baby while you make moon eyes at each other. You want to do a jot of bedsport? Go outside, you couple of animals." Jaskier throws his sweaty coat at the two of them, laughing as Geralt growls at him once more.

Kingdom Come Deliverance Alchemy Recipes

This is a list of all the alchemy recipes in the game. There seems to be a lot of mistakes around as to what the different recipes actually require, this to such a degree that even the books in the game contains them, as well as the fandom wikis. I can't promise that these recipes are all correct, but they have worked for me, both when it comes to unlocking the recipes as well as unlocking the auto-brew option.

The first step of brewing starts with adding a base to the cauldron. This is a free ingredient at every alchemy station. They are: Water, Wine, Oil and Spirits.

When I mention boiling for a certain amount of turns, I usually define 1 turn as 3 pulls on the bellow, until the bubbling has once again stopped. Multiply this by as many turns as you need. Worth noting that you need to add 1 extra pull if the fire isn't lit or has gone out.

When you get the Trial And Error perk, it is also quite safe to stop boiling entirely, which makes the brewing process a lot faster.

Some of the recipes mention letting the mixture cool before continuing. I usually find it adequate to wait until the bubbling has stopped, but you can try to wait until the fire has gone out too if you are having problems.

#Kingdom Come Deliverance #Alchemy #Potions

[tastesoftamriel]

Greetings from Finland! (Or I suppose it could be considered Eastern Skyrim) What are some of the spices or ingredients that could be used in food making from each race? I plan to make up a recipe of my own. And how about most famous meats for every race? (And possibly their real life counterparts for some of the meats?) Best wishes, thank you!

Hello! You can find a list of commonly used Tamrielic spices here. With regards to meats, there are a range of different meats preferred by the races based on geographic regions and subsequent availability.

Altmer

Summerset favours fish over most other meats, but the High Elves also farm a range of more common mainland Tamrielic livestock such as cows, chickens, sheep, and deer. However, indrik heart is the most prized of all meats, and is highly sought after due to the illegality and difficulty of killing these magnificent beasts. The preparation and consumption of indrik heart is purportedly painstaking, and is a closely guarded secret of Altmeri gourmets. It is my goal to one day try this coveted dish!

Argonians

Guar, bantam guar, and chickens are the main meats favoured by Black Marsh Argonians, primarily due to their ability to cope with swampy conditions. Grilling, baking, and frying are the most common ways of preparing these meats, whether they're served on their own, with noodles or saltrice, or salads.

Bosmer

If it's meat, the Bosmer will eat it. Whether it's wild boar, deer, timber mammoth, or even monkey, all game is fair game in Valenwood! Timber mammoth steak with blue timber mammoth cheese sauce is one of my favourite foods in Tamriel.

Bretons

If there's one race who's mad about mutton, it's the Bretons. While High Rock is also known for its pork dishes, today I'm focusing on all things mutton. Mutton stew, mutton chops, mutton casserole, and even Orcish-inspired mutton curry are favourites both at home and in taverns. One of the more popular ways of consuming the meat is a mutton and rosemary sausage, that is served fried with eggs, goat cheese, and roasted artichoke hearts.

Dunmer

Aside from guar, the Dark Elves love nix-hound and nix-ox in equal amounts, with the former being more akin to crocodile or turkey in texture, while nix-ox is named such due to its uncanny similarity to beef in flavour (though not in texture). As they are bugs, however, you're not going to get thick steaks or drumsticks as you would from other animals. Instead, nix-ox and -hound are best served minced or stewed. A staple dish in Dunmeri households is nix-hound casserole, made with finely minced and baked nix-hound with saltrice, hackle-lo or ash yams, and scuttle.

Imperials

Imperials love beef the same way that Bretons love mutton. However, the most unique and exciting beef you can find in Tamriel is Cyrodiilic wagyu, a special kind of fatty, marbled beef that is exquisite as it simply melts in the mouth with a rich, meaty flavour. Whether it's served as tender filet mignon or thinly sliced as carpaccio, Cyrodiilic wagyu beef is an expensive but absolutely divine treat.

Khajiit

There are many exotic meats that are native to Elsweyr, and jerboa is probably the most popular. These small (and unfortunately very cute) rodents are delicious when deep fried or roasted in moon sugar sauce, though their small size means you'll have to eat a few to fill up. If you don't mind picking bones from your teeth, jerboa is a must-try for adventurous foodies.

Nords

Beef, chicken, elk, goat, horker, rabbit...in Skyrim, if it moves, we're probably eating it. However, the consumption of specific types of meat, and whether it's processed or fresh, really depends on where you are in the Province. Major towns and cities are more likely to eat fresh farmed meats like poultry, mutton, and beef, while rural areas rely more on wild game. Whether it's Markarth barbequed goat skewers or Dawnstar horker casserole, there's a whole new world of regional dishes out there for meat lovers visiting Skyrim.

Orcs

Echatere, chub loon, horker, and mammoth are the cornerstones of Orcish cuisine, and they're enjoyed in abundance. Wrothgarian Orcs in particular love their echatere, which are lovingly hand-reared or hunted in the wild. Either way, it's delicious, albeit with a rather acquired taste and gamey aroma. Echatere meatballs topped with crispy chub loon bits and an echatere cheese and frost mirriam gravy are a timeless classic hailing from the region.

Redguards

If goats were ever to become an endangered species, the last place they would disappear would be Hammerfell. Anyone who's visited the Alik'r will know that despite the sandy, Oblivion-hot depths of the desert, these hardy creatures will survive just about anything. As a result, goat meat plays a central part in Redguard cooking. Goat koftas, kebabs, shawarma, curries...no matter what form it's in, you're bound to have a tasty, meaty meal no matter where you are in Hammerfell.

Sender take a stab for reciever.

Tess and post shadowlands Sylvanas

thank you so much!! fic below the cut :D ngl i haven't written tess in a long time and i've never written post SL sylv before so pls be nice to me!

  She’s been struggling with her memories since the soul fusion.

  Some of the faces she guides out of the Maw are familiar, their names or their deaths hovering on the tip of her tongue, just out of reach; their consciousnesses brush hers, screaming wordless obscenities at her, stabbing her with cold, condemning anger as she sends them on their way. Not once does she flinch. Not once does she fight back. She keeps her eyes down, and her focus on her penance.

  One soul, brimming with youth and broken optimism, breaks ranks and rushes at her in a swirl of Thalassian tulips, a smiling mouth open and calling her name-

  But she flings them up before they can. Insults in Darnassian she takes in stoic silence. To hear herself condemned in her own tongue would… hurt.

  There are no days in the Maw, and Sylvanas rarely allows herself rest. She stumbles from one lost soul to another, worn down like a cog in the Azerite machines she can’t quite remember the blueprints for anymore (were there three levers or four? One goblin operator or two?) On occasion she cleans her leathers. When her boots go into holes, she hunts Maw-touched beasts to replace the soles.

  There are no hours in the Maw, no sunrises or sunsets, nothing familiar, nothing she can cling to. But no matter the circumstances, no Windrunner would be too tired or disorientated to recognise she was being followed.

  Followed by the living, no less.

  They’re good, she’ll give them that. Their footsteps are too soft even for her hearing. They cling to the shadows like a child to a blanket. But they are still human, and so she guides one more soul upwards, flinching at the psychic bellow of IHATEYOUIHATEYOUMURDERERBUTCHER it jabs her with as it’s pulled away.

  Then she turns to the rock beside her, and folds her arms.

  “Princess Greymane. An unexpected- surprise.” She has to pause to cough mid-sentence. She’s had no need for words since her sentence began; her throat feels dry and clogged. “What brings you- ahem- to the Maw?”

  “Oh, bollocks to it,” comes from behind the rock, and Tess Greymane emerges, brushing her own breeches off. “I should have known the Banshee Queen would sniff me out. What gave me away? Did I leave a footprint?”

  “To your credit, no. I did indeed sniff you out.” Sylvanas shifts her weight onto one leg. “You had roasted Gilnean boar for lunch, with a seasoning mixture from the Gilnean royal family’s cookbook. My spies were nothing if not thorough.” And, when Tess only blinks in response: “Though the recipe originated in Quel’Thalas. The Dawnstrider family. No. No, the Dawntreader- no- why are you here?”

  “Well, make your mind up!” Tess’ fists are clenched above the pommels of her daggers. “I want you to lead me to Liam. The Arbiter says he hasn’t passed through yet. He’s still down here somewhere and… well, I… you’re uniquely placed to…” She pauses. Her mouth works silently. “Erm, locate him,” she finishes, uncertainly.

  “… And who is Liam?”

  The screech that rips itself from Tess’ throat has Sylvanas stepping backwards sharply. “I beg your- how dare- what do you mean, who is Liam?” She lunges for Sylvanas, eyes wild. “My BROTHER! You MURDERED him!”

  “You must understand-” There are so many I killed here, how could I possibly know where one is, which one was he-

  “You fucking murdered my brother and you don’t even REMEMBER!” One flailing fist grabs Sylvanas by the collar; she jolts forwards with a grunt. “Let me enlighten you, you rotting bitch, you conquered my homeland and you slew my brother, yeah? Sound familiar?”

  “I-”

  “Don’t give me that shit! Nobody fucking forgets something like that! I don’t care if your fucking Scourge brains are turning to fucking liquid between those knife-ears, I want you to find Liam so he can be at peace, so that my family has justice, and so that my father will finally fucking accept he’s gone!”

  “What did he look like?”

  “Like me!”

  Of course. But long red hair in a ponytail, where hers is raven-black (like Minn’da’s). Steely faced- it was obviously his first battle. He was on horseback. A blade in one hand, a blade with gleaming runes, the dewdrops froze on her skin as he charged her down no he held a torch he was another human prince it impaled her and it stole the air from her lungs, it cut her so deep, cut her soul

  “-Windrunner! Fucking snap out of it!”

  She jerks back to reality as Tess Greymane slaps her in the face.

  “Ow,” she says, on nothing but instinct.

  And Tess- actually rolls her eyes, like a gossiping maid-servant. “Oh, come on. That didn’t hurt.”

  “No. No, it didn’t. Though if you want to tell everyone on Azeroth that you hurt me, I’m sure they would be delighted to know.”

  One hand still gripping her collar, Tess tilts her head, staring at Sylvanas. “You know,” she says, and wets her lips with the tip of her tongue, “I always thought of you as this malevolence. This wordless evil in the dark. A brooding, ruthless assassin who stole my brother away. And you’re just a-”

  “You’re not the first to call me a monster, and you won’t be the last.” Tess’ brows furrow. “For what it is worth,” Sylvanas continues, and gently untangles Tess’ fist from her shirt, “I had no quarrel with your brother, nor your country. Garrosh- whom I did have a quarrel with- he gave me the “choice” of staying together and risking my people’s annihilation in a hopeless, pointless war with Gilneas, or watching my people be carved up into regiments and thrown at the Alliance until none of us remained.” She shrugs. “Obviously, I chose the former. I cannot apologise for acting in my people’s interests.”

  “Well,” Tess snaps, “I won’t apologise for acting in my people’s interests.”

  And she slaps Sylvanas hard enough to send her stumbling backwards.

  There’s a pause, as Sylvanas silently prods at her teeth one by one with her tongue.

  “No ‘ow’ this time?”

  “My apologies. Ow.”

  “Huh.”

  The silence falls again.

  “I… fuck’s sake. I thought this would give me closure too. But I knew it was Garrosh. He admitted it all at the trial. I-” Tess’ shoulders slump. “He… he was really going to do that to the Forsaken? Deliberately send you to your deaths?”

  “Yes.”

  “Why didn’t you tell us or something? Pretend to invade? We could have-”

  “You would have slaughtered us on sight, like every other human nation.”

  Tess opens her mouth, the beginning of a protest on her lips-

  And promptly closes it. Sighs, heavily, and plops down on the rock beside her. “Yes,” she admits. “Yes. We would have.”

  “And Garrosh knew that too.”

  “Fuck him.”

  “That,” Sylvanas says, and prods her face to check for any blood, “we can agree on.”

  “Yes.”

  Finding nothing but dry, cold, lifeless skin, Sylvanas straightens herself up, hands folding behind her back. “If you are willing to help guide me to him, I am willing to find your brother. It may take some time. The Maw is a hostile environment to living creatures.” Even now, a presence is creeping nearer, and she readies herself for another psychic bombardment from a night elven soul. “Many adventurers died here in their attempts to stop Zovaal, and many condemned entities remain even after his demise. Entities that will slaughter anything living they come across.” Is that a soul? Do you need guidance?

  No, comes the guttural answer. Sylvanas stiffens.

  Tess stares at her, oblivious to the shadow materialising behind her. “But our reports said there was nothing-”

  “MAWSWORN!” Sylvanas shouts, and dives at Tess to throw her away from the dagger that lodges in her stomach instead.

  The Mawsworn rears back with a screech, dragging a second blade from its holster and Sylvanas yanks the dagger from her belly just in time to parry the killing blow with it. “He’s gone,” she cries. “Zovaal is gone!”

  “BETRAYER!” Their blades clash so hard it sets Sylvanas’ ears ringing. Her feet scrabble desperately for purchase in the dust. “THE WORLD MUST BE BROKEN!”

  “He,” she pants, feinting this way and that way for some sort of opening, “is-”

  There THERE her blade flashes in to puncture its heart just as Tess’ buries itself in its back and the Mawsworn screams in agony, flailing at her wailing at her and they jump back from its death throes.

  “Dead,” she finishes as it dissolves.

  The cloud dissipates to reveal Tess, one shirt sleeve bloodied, staring dumbly at her.

  “You… you saved me.” A hand comes up to point at Sylvanas’ belly. “You- you actually took a dagger for me. You did.”

  Sylvanas looks down at herself. At the black blood oozing lazily from the stab wound to her belly. The sluggish, half-forgotten ache of her cold body going through the motions of mending.

  She looks back up at Tess.

  “Oh, right,” she says. “Ow.”

Does Riverclan eat roe or milt? I assume that if they see fish eggs on the river they leave them so they can grow into fish later but if they happen to catch a pregnant fish would they eat it? Also i found looking up 'weird foods' helps a LOT with coming up with cat foods since majority of it (unfortunately) is made of bugs, organs, or generally things humans think is gross but cats would Loovee. Also apparently you can make bone marrow into a sorta cheese or butter, the normal recipe uses plantains but would there be a substitute the clans could use?

I had a cookbook on preparing offal I looked at a lot, but I misplaced it.

Roe is DEFINITE. They will definitely be eating that-- fermented goldfish eggs are actually a delicacy in some places. If they catch a female who was full of eggs, that's a delicious bonus. She's dead by the time they figure out she's pregnant, it's too late for those eggs to get fertilized anyway.

Milt I'm less sure about including. Not because the Clan cats wouldn't happily eat that, but I don't even know where to begin on tagging it lmao. Same with other... sensitive male parts of various animals, especially the salmon from the autumn salmon run (another delicacy) and wild boars (bully sticks).

Plus, there's plenty of other things to cover without getting into that.

Like developed eggs, which you didn't mention! They would think it's a treat to snag bird eggs that are developed enough to be meaty, but not enough to have solid bones and annoying feathers. Even just finding big clusters of snake eggs would be a treat, especially since they'd be so easy to bring back to camp because of how they stick together.

Or frogspawn, and toadspawn. Toadspawn comes out in a big line. Forbidden Spaghetti.

As for bone marrow butter, someone actually mentioned that in replies once and I looked into it a bit, but it looks like a "cricket flour." Not ACTUALLY a substitute for butter, but added to butter to make it stretch further.

I haven't been able to find any actual recipes that fully substitute marrow for butter. Just, "1/4ths marrow 3/4ths butter" :/ Which sucks because it would be extremely helpful, since Clan cats don't have dairy products.

BUT they will be eating marrow, in any case. That's delicious. I'LL eat marrow. I'll suck it right out.

#And when it comes to weird foods you will get no weirder than ''traditional english dishes'' lmao #Just wait until I find out where to get suet so I can adapt Spotted Dick for warrior cats #Or when I drop stargazy pie on all of you like the wicked witch of the east #And aspic. Rabbit aspic. #tw butchery #tw animal death #meat #warrior bites #Dark Bonefall show me the forbidden warrior bites entries

I see the Chain with a tall s/o and my brain just delved into One Piece territory cause the character heights for that show are RIDICULOUS. 6' for the normal person is short as there are quite a bunch of human characters who range from 9' to almost 20'.

My brain came up with the super hilarious about Four having a human spouse taller than FD, like a solid 15'7 in height. Tall enough to hug all the colors at once which they love. No one really knows where they came from as Reader doesn't like talking about their past. What is known is that they're one hell of a chef.

Fresh ingredients straight from their personal garden, home crafted seasonings and they hunt or fish their own meat. Reader outclasses every chef in Hyrule to the point they get offers for cooking positions by the dozens. All these always gets declined cause Four's spouse only cooks for fun.

Unlike with Hyrule and Wild, our dear smithy does have a letter sent to Reader explaining he'll be on a journey. The Minish helped deliver it since his lover can see them too. Four is honestly the kind of guy that likes talking about his lover to people.

Something he does once comfortable with the rest of the Chain. I can imagine some Links were skeptical about Reader even existing since no human can get that BIG unless they are part giant. (Four, of course, asked them when the two first met and he was told they didn't have any giant blood.)

He practically ignores his skeptic friends cause the looks on their faces when they meet Reader would be so satisfying. And then the group is dropped into his Hyrule. None of the Chain seen Four run so fast before as he practically a blur entering Minish Forest.

The smithy knows his lover would go hunting in the forest at this point of time. Reader always follows a strict schedule when it comes to food in general . The group catches up and can only gawk upon the sight of the massive unarmed person staring down a Gohma.

Four has to hold his companions back as they don't know Reader is far from defenseless. His spouse was a 'combat chef' specifically one whose strength could be considered monstrous. Especially when it comes to their kicks as he seen them break BOULDERS with a single strike. The Gohma lunges for a body slam and it was the last mistake it made.

Reader: Anti Manners Kick Course.

Everyone but Four is speechless as the cook delivers a 180 degree kick straight into the monster's torso. The strike was so powerful that not only did it send the Gohma but the beast was slain before even hitting the ground.

Reader: Damn pest for scaring off that boar.

*Notices Four and the group*

Reader: Hey sweetheart, I see you got some company. Lunch should be done cooling soon as I decided to make some gumbo.

Four: YES. I missed you and your cooking so much, darling. Also all of ye owe me Rupees. *Looks at Twilight, Warriors, Wild, Legend, Sky and Hyrule*

The Smithy is a 120 Rupees richer while his comrades bombard him with questions. Wild definitely wants to learn some recipes from Reader. Meanwhile Time looks at the Fierce Deity and smugly sends the thought 'Shorty'.

I almost spat out my drink at the end XD

Four get to be loved on by a gentle giant- until they're pissed off. XD

Wind would probably stare up at Reader with a slack jawed face until Reader finally notices and looks down.

"Yes? Can I help you?"

"....How far can you throw me?"

(An adult of the group.) "Wind! NO!"

"Wind! YES!" Wild cheers him on. "Me next after him!"

"Absolutely not!"

Random facts about my setting because I'm bored:

Plants and animals have adapted magically to the permanent night. Lots of things glow, in other words

Vampires are the best at magic, both natural magic and their own specific type.

Humans can channel and use natural magic but certain ones still have access to true human magic.

I still don't know what I'm gonna call the vampire/human people (not dhampires, they don't fit that archetype) but they can't use or channel any magic, but can still use items created or enhanced by them. They are deadly allergic to true human magic.

Trans people are so common there isn't a proper term for them. If needed terms like "woman-born" or "man-born" are used, but that's about it. Gay relationships are also common and accepted.

Many recipes involve edible flowers.

Dragonics are vegetarian dragons, highly intelligent, that are used instead of horses. Why? Because I said so.

Eclipses are common but the triple moon eclipse is considered extra powerful by vampires and is deeply feared by humans

The vampires used up so much stone in their time of control that there are no more mountains in the kingdom. Buildings in the capital are either left overs from their rule, or were made from materials taken from them.

While she is the Goddess of Suffering, she does not cause it. Rather, she experiences/has experienced it and comforts those who are in pain. 'Taking the hand of the Goddess' is a metaphor for praying.

Many human surnames come from what their ancestors did during the vampire rule. Valuable metals and stones are the descendants of miners. Plants and animals indicate farmers. Virtues and emotions were given to those the vampires had special favor for.

Black Velvet Castle is on the very edge of the capital, closer than most estates are to it in the kingdom.

Pork is taboo. No pigs are raised in the kingdom, but wild boar may be hunted and eaten if you're brave enough to try. You don't want to know why.

cyanide candy hearts, wyler

pairing - wednesday addams x tyler galpin

summary - tyler gives wednesday candy hearts the only way she would eat them (heavily inspired by coffee and change by itsallbachsfault on ao3, chapter sixteen: february).

warnings - use of blood, bone, cyanide, and other gruesome items in baking

word count - 1,333

“The day I eat one of those chalky, colorful candy hearts with mass-produced sentiments printed on them is the day they start filling them with cyanide.”

So, Tyler did, along with a few other things.

When he started he made two lists: items he needed and the recipe to make the candy hearts. Over weeks, the piece of paper he wrote the original recipe on became wrinkled, creased, and stained with a few drops of his blood as well as a coffee ring or two, and ingredients were crossed out and replaced with more gruesome ones after failed attempts.

(The list of items was thrown out on the twelfth attempt.)

The emergency ritual kit he had gotten from Grandmama was able to supply him with the ingredients needed for his test runs but to make the amount of candy hearts he wanted for every day had known Wednesday he would need more and that’s where Mrs. Addams (“call me Morticia, sweet boy”) came in.

When the words “I’m planning a surprise for Wednesday and I need help left Tyler’s mouth” Morticia instantly agreed and the next day the ingredients he required were on his bed in a steamer trunk with a card on top from Mrs. Addams that she “hopes the surprise goes dreadfully well.”

She was the best.

His dad was out of the house that day and Wednesday was continuing to craft Viper’s gruesome death for a side project so it was the perfect day for him to create her spine-chilling treats. The rain clouds and gloomy atmosphere outside made it even better.

“Okay.” Tyler clapped his hands and rubbed them together in preparation suddenly feeling intimidated by the ingredients in front of him.

The original recipe called for: 2 teaspoons of light corn syrup, ¼ ounce or two teaspoons of unflavored gelatin, ½ cup of water, 2 pounds confectioners’ sugar, plus additional for dusting, a few drops of food coloring, assorted, and a few drops of flavoring extracts, assorted, as well.

Tyler’s recipe called for: 2 teaspoons of his own blood, ¼ or two teaspoons of powdered collagen from a wild boar (“it’s Wednesday’s favorite,” Morticia explained), ½ cup of water, 1 pound of human bone, all ribs, again Wednesday’s favorite, plus additional for dusting, food coloring, midnight blue, Venetian red, plum, and black, and, of course, cyanide.

The difference was very obvious and perfectly tailored for Wednesday’s macabre tastes.

Tyler grabbed the microwave-safe bowl in front of him, poured in his blood, water, and powdered collagen, and mixed the ingredients together before putting it into the microwave for thirty seconds. When he was playing with the recipe he accidentally warmed it for too long and the blood became a jelly-like substance.

He pulled it out when the microwave beeped and poured it into the bowl attached to the large stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. He poured in one cup of human bone and began mixing. He added another cup and mixed until it became a brown sugar/syrup-like substance, continuing with this until the full pound of human bone was added occasionally stopping to scrape down the bottom and the sides of the bowl.

Finished with that step, he turned and dusted the only empty counter with flour and scraped the mixture onto it. He dusted the top of the mixture with more flour before beginning to knead the treat mixture. Folding the dough on top of itself and then using the heel of his hand to press it down before turning it a quarter and repeating. (His hyde strength came in handy here.) Dusting it with flour when it began to stick to his fingers.

After the mixture was finally kneaded to a proper form. He pulled on some gloves and grabbed his food coloring and the cyanide, which was a faint blue.

He began dividing the dough into four portions, one portion for each color. He colored each portion of the dough, a collagen and bone-filled dough with the food colorings that he had chosen to match the colors of the bruises he had seen on his neck a few mornings ago.

He hoped Wednesday would enjoy it.

Tyler grabbed the black portion to start with and flatten it against the counter until it was ¼ of an inch thick like the store-bought candies before taking his special cookie cutters that he had found on some morbid baking website. The cookie cutters were miniature anatomically correct hearts… that were very disturbing. There were no veins of anything just the general shape of the heart with valves.

Periodically, he colored all of the portions, flattened them, and cut them into heart shapes.

Soon enough, he had four different pans, that were lined with parchment paper, of anatomically correct heart treats. He couldn’t call it candy anymore even if Wednesday would find his blood tasty. Each pan had different color treats: midnight blue, plum, Venetian red, and black.

Sadly, he now had to let them dry for twenty-four hours.

He had no idea how he was going to hide them from his dad.

(Wednesday excitedly sedated his dad with a strong sedative to make sure he stayed at the station all night without even asking why.)

Wednesday sat in front of Tyler, across the table in his dining room. Her hands rested in her lap and her stare was on him like she was peeling his skin off, cutting through his muscles and bones to stare directly at his heart.

He didn’t care. She could have it. He would claw and tear it out of his chest in the most gruesome way possible and present it to her but right now all he had was treats.

“These are for you,” Tyler said, presenting a tin to her and sliding it across the wooden table. The metal created a grating sound in the air as the metal moved against the table. “I think you’ll enjoy them.”

Wednesday narrowed her eyes at him. While Tyler did have a habit of giving her gifts they were usually in the form of bruises around her neck from attempted strangulation, at her assistance, and claw marks that never went as deep as she wanted.

And she knew this was neither.

Wednesday pulled the tin closer to her, feeling the metal beneath her fingers, and steeled her gaze toward it. She leaned towards it and took a quick sniff before leaning back and narrowing her eyes at Tyler.

The smug look in his eyes made her want to bite his carotid.

(“The tin is scent-proof, dear. She won’t be able to smell anything until it is close to her nose.”)

“You’ve been in touch with mother.”

Tyler knew it wasn’t a question, she was stating a fact.

Wednesday took her time opening the tin and sat the top down beside it, the metal making a soft thud when she placed it on the table. She looked down at the treat that lay inside before looking back up at him, “hearts?”

Now, that was a question.

“And not the immature, incorrect, mainstream kind,” Tyler added, a tentative smile on his lips. “You still have to taste,” he continued. He was glad she couldn’t see the way his leg bounced from nervousness under the table.

Wednesday reached into the tin and pulled out one of the treats turning it around in the air before bringing it up to her mouth and taking a bite.

The crunch made him want to flinch.

Wednesday chewed slowly before her eyes widened.

“Cyanide.”

“And human bone, ribs,” Tyler suddenly spouted out unable to keep the words in anymore. “Wild boar collagen, and-”

“Your blood,” Wednesday interrupted and put the rest of the treat in her mouth and swallowed before continuing, “acceptable.”

Tyler smiled, brightly. She liked them.

“Acceptable” from Wednesday was an off-the-charts rating from anyone else.

“...And creative,” Wednesday continued.

His work had paid off.

“Do you have a glass of your blood to wash them down with?”

shadow spiels!

cannibalism is the new sex (coming tommorow) was suppposed to be the first thing i posted but i read coffee and change was struck by sudden inspiration and this is what was crafted. the official candy recipe is here. find someone who makes you anatomically correct candy hearts.

National Salami Day

Salami is cured, fermented and air-dried sausage, popular in Italy and the mediterranean, as well as around the world. This meat is convenient due to its relatively long shelf life, and it can be used in a variety of delicious recipes. Plus, it now has a special day just to call its own. It’s National Salami Day!

History of National Salami Day

Salami has a relatively unknown history as its creation cannot easily be traced to a particular time. However, some researchers believe that the ancient Romans would eat salami as a part of a larger food group that used salt as a preservative which is probably where it got its name, since ‘salare’ is Italian for salt.

Most people consider salami to be an Italian food–and even the word is Italian! The English language simply used the pluralized form of the Italian word ‘salame’ to indicate the cased meat but, in English, ‘salami’ is singular.

As an air-cured pork meat, salami is a cased meat that was originally wrapped in a natural skin made of other parts of the pig. Sometimes it is also made from beef, wild boar, goose, venison or even duck for unique variations.

Meat for salami comes from different parts of the pig (or other animal), and should include a mixture of lean meat as well as fat in order to get the flavor just right. That’s why the look of the inside of the meat has a marbled looking texture. Although ‘lean salami’ has been popularized for its health benefits, most artisanal salami makers would say that the flavor is not as good.

To make salami, the meat is ground up to a fine texture and then flavored by adding spices or herbs. Some of the most popular flavorings include garlic, white pepper, vinegar or even wine. (Salami’s flavor is not as strong as its popular pizza-topping cousin, pepperoni.) Once stuffed into the casing, salami is usually aged in a fermentation and drying process that lasts between one and three months–or sometimes longer, even up to several years.

Today, Europe is a huge producer of salami. In fact, between Germany, Italy, France, Hungary and the other countries that produce it, several hundred million pounds of salami are produced and eaten each year.

National Salami Day got its start fairly recently, in 2006. Started in Henrico, Virginia by a group known as the Salami Appreciation Society (SAS), the idea was that the salami is a meat that is far too often overlooked and it needed to be given its day in the sun. The official National Salami Day website offers fun tidbits and ideas for celebrating.

How to Celebrate National Salami Day

Enjoy Salami with Friends, Family and Coworkers

National Salami Day encourages people all over the globe to explore the world of salami by trying new and adventurous types of salami, and enjoying salami with friends at salami-themed parties.

Instead of cooking dinner, create a lovely charcuterie board that includes salami and other cold meats served with cheeses and fruits. Or take a deli platter filled with salami, cheeses and veggies to work to encourage the whole office to get involved with celebrating the fun that comes along with National Salami Day.

Take a Picnic with Salami

Salami is actually an ideal picnic food because it does not require refrigeration and can be packed into a basket with bread, cheese, fruit and other delicious items that can be spread out on a picnic blanket to enjoy with friends.

Plan a Trip To Italy to Enjoy Salami

Considered to be an important staple in food throughout the country, National Salami Day might just be the perfect excuse to take a trip to the beautiful Italy. Here, it’s easy to find lengths of dry cured salami simply hanging in butchers or grocery stores.

Slice it thick or thin, depending on the style of meat, and enjoy it on a fresh baguette (which European bakeries are famous for) topped with a hunk of fresh cheese. Of course, don’t forget to enjoy a few olives and a glass of lovely red wine with it as well. Italy is absolutely delicious!

While in Italy, it would be a shame not to visit the Salami Museum in Parma. Located in the lovely cellars of the Felino Castle, this museum boasts the history of salami using documents dating back as far as 1436. It also houses various instruments related to butchery, as well as other artifacts and showrooms.

Or, pop over the charcuterie museum, called the Museo della Salumeria. (It’s located in a castle, Castelnuovo Rangone, in Modena, Italy, which is actually less than an hour’s drive from Parma!) It offers an insider’s view of the production facilities as well as displays of machinery, herbs, spices and other salami related items.

Make Some Salami Recipes

While this might be a surprise, some big fans of salami believe that it is as versatile as bacon when used in cooking! It can certainly do more than simply be sliced and slapped on a piece of bread with cheese. Try out these ideas for cooking with salami to add some unique flavors and interesting takes on culinary adventures:

Salami with Fried or Scrambled Eggs. Whether using it as a side to go along with a fried egg, adding it chopped up into an omelette, or making it into a delicious hash, salami makes a great meat to be paired with eggs–at breakfast or any time of the day.

Salami with a Bowl of Pasta. A new version of Pasta Carbonara (pasta with bacon), chop up some salami finely and add to a red sauce to place over pasta.

Salami on a Grilled Cheese Sandwich. It’s true that today’s grilled cheese sandwiches aren’t just for kids anymore! All kinds of different gourmet options can be created for this delicious and easy favorite sandwich–including a grilled cheese with salami slices.

Salami in Soups. Salami is a great meat to add to soups that are thrown together and made with whatever is on hand in the kitchen. Try salami in a bean soup or vegetable soup. Or channel that inner Italian and throw some salami into a minestrone soup recipe.
