/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I always wanted to have a taste of this.

I've made several interpretation recipes of lembas bread, just a sweet honey bread from what they have it as, but doing a quick search this one actually looks like bread.

I know that feel OP. And I eat that kind of stuff all the time. Nothing like some good hard cheeses and cured meats along with a dark, crusty bread and a smoky red wine. Making myself hungry thinking about it. That's also the kind of food I eat when I travel. It's simple and doesn't require refrigeration or anything, you just cut/tear off however much you want to eat.

You can totally make delicious gingery spiced apple cider. It's not even difficult.

>>4554765
I was thinking about making seed cakes just yesterday like this

>>4554866
Is there a way to cure your own meat, what exactly does 'curing' cover. Smoking it? Or making it into jerky?

>>4554940
Found an awesome blog about just that the other day. curedmeats dot blogspot dot com

>>4554948
oh yeah that looks way beyond my abilities

>>4554968
Shouldn't be too hard if you stick with something simple. The main challenge is having a storage space at the right temperature and humidity, but an old chest freezer can handle that, as commonly done in the home brewing scene.
I've never actually done it myself, but definitely something I'd like to try, along with cheese making.

Here's what Bilbo served the Dwarves in the Hobbit. Jackson was pretty faithful to the books and it turns out all of this fantasy food was based on Middle ages era British food.

They are. All of that food looks great.

According to Wikipedia lembas may have been modeled on bannock bread. Try it or another variety of quickbread? Soda bread is pretty easy to make.

When I read Game of Thrones, I would always get hungry as fuck whenever any of them ate anything. I would enjoy the fuck out of a flagon of wine, some freshly roasted meat, a brick of cheese, and some good bread. Fuck me.

bless you

There's an actual printed Redwall cookbook, but it seems to be a children's book so who knows if the recipes are any good.

I'm sticking with the video game thing.
Return to Castle Wolfenstein had those cold meals throughout the game that gave you health. I always got hungry as fuck for one when I played it.

I have several links saved from a tumblr devoted to food from video games (I'm sharing the ones from elder scrolls)

I've also got a few links for places that have medieval recipes, some for norse cooking, and a couple for different ale and mead recipes, if anyone wants them.

>>4555094
Go for it man. All of this fantasy style medieval food looks great.

>>4555104
Alright.

Norse food:

-http://www.thevikingsworld.com/Skald/recipes/index.html
-http://www.housebarra.com/EP/ep07/05banquet.html

Other medieval recipes:
-http://www.press.uchicago.edu/Misc/Chicago/706842.html
-http://medievalcookery.com/recipes/ (just click on the country or category)

Ales and Meads, respectively:
- http://www.brew-monkey.com/recipes/recipesbycat.php?id=10 (these are all American ales)
-http://www.stormthecastle.com/mead/mead-recipes.htm

Personally, I like the meads better than the ales, but that probably comes down more to personal taste.

And if anyone wants recipes from other games, I can probably find them.

Bought this in a museum in France.

It's boar cooked with apples, a Gaul meal. I ate it with this small bottle of reproduced Gallo-Roman wine I bought in the same place.

It was good. Bittersweet and spicy.

>>4555211
Don't you guys eat pig with apples?

>>4555211
>in france
>clearly in australia where everything is upside down
Did you really do that? Just post lies on the internet?

What kind of sauce was that, h-homie?

>>4555211
are you sure it wasn't a museum in Australia?

>>4555211
man, check your images before posting

>>4554765
I'm suddeny hungry for a giant seedcake and a sweetroll

>>4555081
Brian Jaques always made the food in those books sound delicious.

Hazlenut cheese, elderberry wine, rhubarb scones & "deeper n' ever turnip n' tater n' beetroot pie" ftw

They'll be a guide for mead around here somewhere. My friend made some, it was ridiculously strong. And not particularly nice. But we still got wankered on it so it was fine.

Seriously though, please don't make me flip my screen.

OP, Mah nigga, let me help

Oh man, I still feel bad for not buying their book. I have yet to try a lemon cake recipe, but I was planning on trying this one before: http://notyourmommascookie.com/2012/04/game-of-thrones-lemon-cakes/

Thanks for starting this thread, OP. This is probably one of my favorite threads in 4chan ever.

>Liking Skyrim
>Being a faggot

Pick 2

Anyway, I've always thought cartoon food is WAY more appetizing.

>>4555956
Yeah, there's something really cute about them

Video game food?

>>4555948
No problem, I really didn't know this was a thing other people liked.
And this thread isn't about skyrim, more like.. rustic fantasy food. I really don't know how to put it.

bump

>>4555081
there's also a long-running fansite that compiles fan interpretations of the foods in the series, although it hasn't updated in quite some time.

http://www.redwall.net/kitchen/

Shit, I know that feeling all too well. I've attempted a mead based around a Skyrim recipe which turned out really tasty (grilled leeks too, but that's hardly worth mentioning since they're so easy and not exclusive to the game), and eventually I want to plan a dinner party based around the opening scene from The Hobbit. http://recipewise.co.uk/tea-in-the-hobbit The great thing about a lot of high fantasy novels is that when they mention food, it's usually based off realistic medieval recipes.

Have you heard of feast of fiction?

For some reason, the fish Bilbo served to the first dwarf looked really, really good to me

>>4558620
i just sat here and watched all of their videos

>>4558706

>>4555051

You know this exists, right?

Homeboy, this was my favorite part of fantasy adventures. The effort put into the different designs of food, the vivid descriptions...
Basically, I share your feel.
