As I said in my introduction, the english language used by all spacers is sadly not my mothertongue, so I try to write the best way that I can.

I hope that you find it, at last, understandable, and, moreover, enjoyable.

Really, though, I'd describe these as "fusion food"; you're probably more likely to find them on Jita 4-4 than anywhere on Achura.


As a new spacer, and not really the most educated one on the field of sociology, there might be some mistakes here and there that I'll be glad to correct, given time.

HRP I tried to achieve a "fusion food" feeling for my recipes, so I take that as a compliment .

Really, most Amarr can't even own slaves, only the Holders can. As for the Brutor Bowl...

6 beers actually seems pretty reasonable, considering the way it renders down as the alcohol boils off. You'll be left with a kind of wheat broth, with the alcohol boiling off and the carbonation both helping to keep things from settling too much. You might want to look into Tsuivan, as well. I'm pretty sure it's originally Vheriokhor in origin, but plenty of Clans among the other Tribes have picked it up as well, including my own.

We Stornauga also tend to make a pretty mean Protein Pizza. Uses lots of meat when we can get it, and lots of flavored suppliment paste when we can't. Sebiestor jury-rigging, I suppose.

To everyone else... he's new. He's been told a lot of things about the other empires. And he's Brutor. He's not going to be genteel and effervescent. Give him time, and forgive any early missteps. He'll learn the truth of different parts of the cluster, and then he'll have informed opinions everyone can get offended over, just like the rest of us.

The beers are for the cook, else you'll get some kind of soup...

But thank you for your kind welcome, I'm feeling a bit lost in all this idle gossip.

I give you credit for a nice lamb recipe. I like lamb. I also reserve the right to ride directly over your rotty face with a horse if you so much as suggest again that any Amarr woman ought depend on a husband to shoot a laser for her.

Make some Khanid food next. Go on.

English? Never heard of that language, but it probably exists since the Universal Translator picked that up no problem.

I'm speaking Minmatar Standard, by the way. I am sure the others are also using their own mother tongues that I may or may not understand if spoken straight to me. However, the Universal Translator implants included in our capsuleer augmentation package help sort out the babble soup whenever we speak to each other.

Most of the time at any rate. Some words and phrases don't really translate well.

I figured that was actually a software error in the UT, myself. I know there's an 'Ingles' (IN-glez) Clan with some members over in Eystur, it might've mangled a reference to a patois he's heard among the traders over there? Either way, it's not worth worrying about—he'll adjust.

Idle gossip's about the primary use of the IGS. If you have any questions, anything you need advice on, please, feel free to ask. One thing you can be safely guaranteed around here: if you bring up a topic people know something about, they'll tell you.

At length. Be ready for that.

The Only Time an Amarr Lady would have a Husband or other Man fire a Laser for her, is when her Outfit does not Lend itself easily to the wearing of a Holster for a Ladies Laser Pistol.

Carthum Conglomerate and Noble Appliances both Manufacture several ranges of Ladies Laser Pistols, and Accessories, such as Thigh Holsters, for wearing under a Dress, as well as Other Concealed Weaponry, which allows a Lady to fire a Laser from Several Unexpected Locations.

Ah, cooking. I'm quite fond of baked goods myself. Both actual ones, and as metaphor. The Cake of Lies and so on.

Anyway !

Here's a simple walnut recipe.

Ingredients: A Bunch Of Walnuts.

1. Take the Walnuts and

2. Throw them away, because Walnuts are an Abomination.

I'm exploring in various site, digging various relics, looking for ancient Khanid recipes. Unfortunately, I have to sustain my expeditions, and I need to work on some other projects to fund my gastronomic expeditions.

It can't be that hard, pilot. They've basically had four thousand years of spacefaring civilization at this point, so the easiest way to conduct that dig is probably ...

... buy an old cookbook?

Or just check GalNet. Or check out an old Amarrian library. We probably even have a few resources like that at the Lamp.

Not the least of which is probably Ms. Qerl, come to think of it.

I will help! :D Make something that is sheep, goat or horse. Eat it with something that is cheese, milk, or yogurt. If a vegetable so much as looks at you while you are cooking, the dish is ruined.

I am joking, mostly. But a lot of the most traditional recipes are a bit like that, even if plenty of us live where there are lots of fruit and fish and where a sheep would die of the heat and cook in its own skin. There is still something comforting about airag and dumplings, even if the airag is bottled and the dumplings are from a frozen bag.

Every once a year, during the Winter Solstice, far flung members of Clan Egivand, well, some of them at any rate, will go home to the Enclave to feast upon several whole goats, whose less fleshy parts tend to be cured in lactic acid.

Elmund where are you even getting enough lactic acid for not just a goat, but GOATS, to pickle in? I mean yes, milk does that, but do you know where milk comes from? GOATS!

You cannot pickle a goat in its own milk. There isn't enough milk and also you won't go to Paradise if you do it.

A) Yep, you can totally do it with enough goats' milk. You just have to have more goats than you're eating. Also doesn't hurt if you store the milk up for a bit in refrigeration.
B) Buahahahaha paradise.

Ask the Preserver Circle about it. I'm just an engineer. Who is just as likely to demolish something as I am to build something.

Also, why do I want to go anywhere that's full of Cartel?
