Vernossiel ♒ - cooking/food headcanon
Okay, to be honest, I only know who Vernossiel is because I googled it recently because people were talking about her. So for other people like me, Vernossiel is the Scoia'tael Commander in Witcher 3 who you run into while tracking down the "monster" that killed a Redanian patrol.
There's not really a lot of information about her, but as a Scoia'tael Commander who has probably been through 2 Nilfgaardian wars (and the first one was where they were fucking betrayed by Nilfgaard), I think her feelings about food would be complicated. Because even before famine struck the realm and food became... idk, rationed? Restricted? by the Redanian government (because all worthwhile goods should go towards the war effort), she and her unit probably never had a lot of food. The Scoia'tael really do starve in their forests, especially if there's not enough game to hunt and food to gather. 'cause elves never learned agriculture the way humans define it (i.e. sowing crops into the land) and the very existence of agriculture changes the ecosystem of an area. Which means that even if, once upon a time, their forests provided them plenty, since humans came around, that became less and less.
I feel like I went on a tangent, so um... I think Vernossiel considers food to be fuel first and foremost and doesn't care about taste anymore. But sometimes, she thinks back on the berry pie her mother used to make and she can almost taste the extinct berries on her tongue and her stomach twists and there's a knot in her throat and she needs to go kill something for a bit.
