What is your nation's Offical Food?

Mine is low-fat vegan french onion dip. Ok that's really more of an official condiment, but my people love their crackers.

Lavenrunzians enjoy beef, range raised and tender. Beef can be eaten in a variety of ways but the favoured way is to roast it. No formal meal is complete without it!

The well cared for and beloved citizens of the Former Mordorians have all their needs provided for by the All Compassionate and All Providing ruler (may he live for ten thousand years).

In practise this means quite a lot of pulped trout stew.

The wealthier members of society however obtain the occasional treat, usually following the conquest of a nearby, corrupt, decadent regime that requires re-orientation. For several weeks after such a conquest our national dish becomes whatever the national animal of the conquered nation was.

It helps the newly conquered nation adjust to their improved status as part of the Former Mordorian protectorate, and helps take their mind off the necessary public executions.

(although we're also fond of tuna noodle salad, lubintau elixer to wash it down with, and a little kimchi on the side)

The people can choose whatever favorite food they want, as long as it is not meat.

Catholic Europe's national food is - Beef Madras. Yes, it's an import but the people can't get enough of it; loving it's hot picy taste complimented by delicious and succulent pieces of beef. Mmmm. :D

Wazzu
27-12-2003, 00:08
Pizza is the favorite, of course. Pizza with lots of cheese. Tons of greesy, oily, fatty, calorie loaded synthetic cheese.

Yes, thats right, synthetic. Wazzu doesn't have a lot of cropland. Most food is either imported, or made in factories (granted through a process of life, bio-engineered bacteria cultures rather then machines, but still synthetic).

Overall, the cheese is completely free of addictive substances (though drugs are legal in Wazzu, the law allows only independant citizens to mix them with food and beverages...with the exception of a certain kind of well labeled soda). Most also contains all the vitamims and nutrients needed for a keen, sharp mind. It helps for poductivity.

Unfortionately, it isn't very healthy for the body, and national figures show it. Wazzuians are some of the unhealthiest people around. This isn't only because of large amounts of cheese, but also the relative expense of meat, fruits, and vegitables...which all must be imported. Combined with the lack of a minimum wage, most people don't get much healthy food.

Not that they mind. That cheese is good, as is the bread (and alcohol) that most people make in their cramped apartments (grain is cheaper to import).

So yes, you can tell a lot about a nation by the food it eats.

Pizza.

I think you can judge a nation by its national dish - if everyone starts licking their lips and drooling when the foetus kebabs and grated firstborns get passed around, you KNOW there's something up.

Henleaze's national dish is a kind of souffle made fom the saliva of a rare type of yak that lives on the highest peaks of the mountains in our nation. It is incredibly expensive and incredibly foul-tasting, and as such is highly prized among the upper class.
Galdania

Galdania cusine is unique. When a person dies in galdania, it is culturally accebtible to cook and eat their remains. Some might say that the corpses of dead people are the national food, though there is no officially recognized national dish.

I'm glad Letila doesn't have an upper class.

It's definetly a high protien food. You have to eat it like raw oysters.

Fresh tuna sushi, oh so fine, from the depths of the deli section of your nearest QFC. A good plate of sushi and some pink champagne in the late afternoon is not an unusual sight to a Threaraparapalagoosian, along with a side of our fine cheese stock (Havarti, preferably).
And we make some darn fine cheese. :mrgreen:
Some of our more unorthodox residents have taken a liking to a series of dishes involving tofu and soybeans, although I utterly refuse to make either tofu or soybeans a national food. :roll:

Aerigia
07-02-2004, 07:52
Aerigia is a multi-cultural society, so the cuisine is an interesting mix between several cultures: Mainly consisting of Chinese, Japanese, German and British culture, brought in from the Harberians from the south.

Meals usually start with appitizers made of fresh sashimi. Warm radish soup or broshct is usually served with salad. Main dishes are various meats, mostly chicken, served in gravy with rice, vegetable and potatoes.

It's the snacks that truly set Aerigian cuisine from the rest, dumplings of all kinds: boiled, fried, in broth, perogies. The different types make dumplings as Aerigia's national food, although it is rarely eaten in a main course meal.
Effrenata

Effrenata has a delicious and varied national cuisine that blends the sophisticated tradition of the Seven Tribes with the more robust gustatory preferences of the Maccadoni tribes. The Svaldi regions have their own unique gustatory preferences for foods that come in the color white.

However, Effrenata's national food product, the one that makes us famous throughout the multiverses, is the ineffable quality of our fabulous


CHOCOLATE



You simply haven't lived until you've tasted Crunchy Frogs enfolded in a rich envelope of quintuple-smooth Effrenati chocolate....

Does Vodka count as a food?

If not, bread of all types would be our national food. We have large plains in the south for growing grain, hence we eat a lot of bread.

Depends on who you ask. The Scyldrs will almost all say "fried termites", or, if they have a sweet tooth, "chocolate-covered termites" (local or northern European only, none of that disgusting, waxy, mainstream stuff), while the Celdrs will be all over you expounding on the culinary perfection of... well, perhaps I shouldn't say, unless you happen to like that sort of stuff... and the Kolipoki and various other minorities will just shrug and say "whatever, dude", although there has been a notable increase in the popularity of pineapple pizza lately.
