I've seen wines, beers, ales, and cheeses. But, I've never seen meat (other than "a good rothe steak") or fruit. Does anyone know of the delectable meat and fruit the realms have to offer?

| Aurora's Whole Realms Catalog has a sample of both. :) |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

Read some of Greenwood's books. I was getting near the end of Cloak of Shadows when a person pulled out a tombworm platter with some wine drenched brains of something and snail meat.  I'll stick with Rothe. I've had buffalo meat so it should be similar right? |

 I think that was one of the Malaugrym though. No doubt they have strange tastes.
Not that I haven't seem some strange (by my standards) meals eaten by humans in some books. |

I've heard it mentioned that people in the North like horse meat.
In the Dark Elf Trilogy, House Do'urden halted a caravan of grey dwarves in their way and confiscated some crabs, which I believe were implied as a delicacy. |

And in the early part of Daughter of the Drow, Liriel and a couple of companions go spear-fishing for pyrimo, a smallish fish of the Underdark's waterways.
(Pyrimo is a predator fish, incidentally, combining aspects of both pirahna and fugu: it's attracted to blood in the water, usually travels in mass schools which can strip a corpse to naught but bone in moments during a 'feeding frenzy', and its flesh is poisonous to most humanoids if improperly prepared. In other words, it's an almost quintessentially drow delicacy.  ) |

I just got back into this, okay? Give me time (or better yet money) - I'll catch up soon enough.  |

I seem to remeber in Realms of Elves Storm made a dish requiring fresh vipers or something. Yet another stomach turner. (I hate snakes!) Twould seem some people of the realms like it as unusual as possible.  |

I'm in the process of putting together a list of FR foodstuffs, both original and real-world equivalents.
