Do the Fair Folk have jobs? Do they have their own currency? Do they have their own government?
Of course they do. Whatever needs to be done, they'll do it. For example, if someone decided they wanted to have some Frytour blaunched (a kind of almond-filled pastry baked in honey and wine) they would need to have someone to grow and harvest almonds, to grow ginger, to grow and process sugar, to pan for or otherwise obtain salt, someone to keep bees and to obtain their honey, wine makers, someone to obtain the oil used in cooking, and of course someone to package and send off all of those goods, someone to transport them, someone to receive them, and if the Faerie in question wasn't making it themselves they would also have someone to actually make the pastry. That isn't even taking into account all the labor involved in making just the pastry dough. For something like that you would need butter, which necessitates the keeping of dairy cows or goats. You would need eggs, which means that someone needs to keep whatever kind of birds the eggs are from, or at least go out and collect them. Flour would require tilling and planting and harvesting. And saffron, if you're inclined to be traditional, would need to be gathered as well. The Fair Folk, if they want to continue playing their games of human courts and societies, must have people to do all of those things. However, unlike our world, the folk do not necessarily need to eat. At least not to live. But eating is nice, and they would delight in grand feasts and an extravagant variety of dishes and desserts.
Some of these they used to gain from humans, as offerings. But there is much they would have had to obtain for themselves, by stealing, or by hard work. Yet unlike human society, the Fae cannot be forced into such a position unless it is what they themselves wish to do. No threat of death or starvation, and an assured eternity of doing whatever they wished, what could possibly force them to live a life they didn't want? Many of these fae do the work as a hobby, something they enjoy for the doing of it. The beekeeper likes the bees, they sing together in the soft evening light, and the bees trust them more fully than they would their own. Winemakers have perfected their work over centuries of effort, cultivating it far beyond a mere process to an artform. Assuredly there are many jobs that the fae might do. Some might carve wood into furniture or toys or mysterious wardrobes that lead to places they shouldn't. Others might make shoes or clocks or wind chimes. Whatever it is they want to do, they simply do. Those in the courts will play their own games, games of lords and ladies and power, games of kings and governments. And as long as the rest of the folk are content, then things will remain. But the memory of the Fair Ones is long, longer by far than humanity's. They are not easily preyed upon. As for coin, no. I do not think the folk have coins of metal such as humans have used throughout the ages. Yet there is much to trade that they value. Promise or deal, unbreakable once made. A memory of their own or from another. Anything can be traded. Moonlight, starlight, wind from the hilltops. Do you sell fruit from a country that no longer exists? Or buy only last edition poetry novels which will never be printed again? Or trade in beautiful fabrics of your own work? A name dealer? A seller and buyer of souls? What are you willing to give for what you want? What are you willing to take in order to give what is yours? Sometimes, if they wish to facilitate the game, or merely enjoy the work but have little use for the fruit of their labor, they might simply give it away, happy that it is being put to good use. For them, that is payment enough. Humanity is so concerned with buying and selling, so worried about the worth of things. The Folk, the Faeries, they are more often concerned with the enjoyment of life, and that to them is of the most importance because they have an eternity of it to live. So they find things to do that they love, that are meaningful to them, that bring laughter and song. So that you too might find something of their joy, here is a recipe for Frytour blaunched.
INGREDIENTS:
Finely ground almonds
Ginger - the powdered spice, not the fresh root.
Sugar
Salt - use to taste.
Pastry dough
Oil
Honey
Wine - red or white & slightly sweet.
DIRECTIONS:
Mix almonds with sugar, ginger, and a little salt - this should be a sweet, slightly spicy blend. Roll out the pastry dough. You may now make the pastry several different ways: by cutting out circles of dough, placing filling in the middle, and folding into a half-circle; by cutting out circles, squares, or triangles of pastry, placing filling in the middle of one piece and then covering with another piece of dough and sealing the edges; or by making small stuffed squares or rectangles, egg-roll style. In any case, make sure the edges of the pastry(ies) are securely sealed. Fry the pastry(ies) in hot oil until lightly browned; remove from oil and let drain. In a pot, bring the honey to a soft boil, then reduce heat. Skim off the scum as it rises. Add just enough wine to make a thick sauce. Thoroughly coat the pasty(ies) in the wine sauce, then place on a baking sheet. Bake in a hot oven for several minutes. The pastry(ies) may be basted with additional sauce during baking or immediately afterward.

Medieval Mac and Cheese recipe
(As demanded by yall)
Macrows
“Take and make a thin foil of dowh, and kerve it on peces, and cast hem on boiling water and seeth it wele. Take chese and grate it and butter cast bynethen and above and losyns. and serve forth.”
-> from the ‘Forme of Cury’ p. 46, compiled about A. D. 1390.
The more readable interpretation as set down in Cariadoc’s Miscellany is as follows:
Ingredients:
2 cups flour
⅔ cups cold water (approx)
3 cups grated cheese (approx). They used swiss and parmesan.
4 tablespoons butter (approx).
Knead flour and cold water into a smooth, elastic dough. Roll it out thin and cut into broad strips (1”-2” wide). Boil it about 5-10 minutes (until tender). Put it in a dish, layered with grated cheese and butter. You may want to heat it briefly in an oven (although the recipe does not say to do so).
Happy cooking!

favorite sekanjabin
I grew up on the classic cold mint and apple cider, but I know some people will use different vinegar and will also add other stuff. What's your favorite and do you drink it hot or cold?
My sister and I are now on a mission to find a couple of combinations for a thing we're doing in our household, so I need your recommendations. Yes, I realize I can just google suggestions, but that's not what I want. I want to know what YOU personally have tried and liked and recommend.
If you have no idea what I'm talking about, BOY HAVE I GOT A TREAT FOR YOU.

I'm about to get very pedantic and nerdy here, but it irritates me that, when I search for how people might have tried to recreate the foods mentioned in Tolkien, the first Google result takes for granted the word of some "food stylist" who worked on the Hobbit FILMS who claims that elves are dainty vegetarians who eat nothing but salad and cake. 🙄😒 So... we're just going to ignore the canon references to hunting and the fact that Bilbo and the dwarves are attracted to the smell of "roasting meat" coming from the fires of the Mirkwood elves? Cool. Cool. (I am not cool)

Made medieval mashed beans with figs. Or rather "Muos vonn bonen mite feygn"
The recipe is from H. Jürgen Fahrenkamp's book "Wie man eyn teutsches Mannsbild bey Kräfften hält", which is a compilation of historical medieval recipes from different places of what are now Germany and Italy, with a few French and Spanish dishes mixed in. Mr Fahrenkamp has added measurements to the recipes, which was not done back in the day, so following along is very easy and you can achieve delicious meals with very few ingredients.
So in short, i love this book a lot and am glad that I bought it last year on my trip with @marquisevonobst and this is the recipe I have now made at least a dozen times :3
The added veggies are oven baked parsnips, carrots and celery stalks, which go great with the beans. They are leftovers from yesterday.
