Kharajyr Cookbook

[Lita 677]

A large, leatherbound book lays upon the counter of Metztli's Blessing, with a paper laying next to it, pinned down by a decorative paperweight at the top and bottom. The paper reads:

 

Kharajyr, please help the tavern improve! Write any recipies, drawings of ingredients, or fruits, or plants, and other such things inside of this book. Mul'ta greatly for your assistance!

 

Below the paper lays a quill, and an ink pot sits above the book. Perhaps you could assist with something or another?

 

[[Basically, I need some cuisine to add to the wiki. Anything and everything helps, make up some fruits or other such things! Remember, sugar is a great ingredient. Any images are much welcome.]]

 

The first page includes an entry.

 

Jorra Melon - A spiky fruit that can be sliced or cracked open. Inside, the fruit is very sweet and tangy, and can quite easily be broken with teeth or with a blade.

[Geo 1415]

Gunk Jacket - Whilst its arguably repulsive name puts most non-kharajyr consumers off of this particularly lovely Karakatuan dish, it is one most certainly loved by hungry Kharajyr all over Anthos.  Nothing more simple than a fillet of fish stuffed with the gunk of mashed fruits, more common than not, Kiwi.  Whilst it may seem simple to stuff this leathery fish jacket full of fruit-mash, only the best of Kharajyr cooks can prepare this sweet mushy treat correctly.

Saikaunaah spots the note laying on the counter. Out of her natural curiosity, she goes to inspect it. After she is done with reading it, she tilts her head and remembers some of the things she saw on the island, going to write them down in rather poor handwriting.

 

"Rock fruits - Saikaunaah calls them rock fruits because they are very hard, which makes it un-eatable. However, when you break it open, you will find a liquid inside of it. This liquid is very sweet and tasty! It can also be used in any sort of drink or food to make it more sweeter. These fruits are found on trees close to the shoreline and often fall off due to the branch not being able to support their weight"

 

After a while, she decides to head back after leaving as she remembered another fruit that she found.

 

"Glowberries - Saikaunaah gave them this name because Vena'vi seem to like them! She always sees them flutter around with their lights and rest upon them for no apparent reason! The berries themselves taste very bitter and are not tasty, but maybe somebody could make something with it! They're found in deeper parts of the jungle" [if mixed with something sweet, the biterness will quickly dissipate]

Lorei taps on the paper absently as she stares down, trying to get her thoughts together. After a moment, she took the quill and began to write leisurely.

 

Dust- An accidental seasoning that is made from mainly two ingredients, Blackfish ash and heavy amounts of sugar. The mixture of these two substances creates an odd and unique flavor that tastes well with meats and a variety of cooked fish. It has a tang of fish while having an undertone of sweetness that most kha enjoy. It is a sensitive seasoning, using too much or too little could change a dish completely.

 

Boar's Blood- A drink made of several different types of juiced fruit, including rockfruit. These small fruits make up a majority of the drink, making it extremely sweet. An alteration with this drink includes glowfruits, making the drink slightly more tame but still unbearably sweet to all outsiders (and some kha).

 

Muck- This odd dish is made with ground beef with mixed in mudsuckers and spittails. It is a visually appealing dish, usually decorated nicely with the meat neatly placed in the center of a plate and the fish additions cut into medium sized pieces however, it smells horrid and tastes questionable. It is either a hit or miss with this dish, the customer that orders it will either love it or hate it. The visual appeal is never forgotten as it often tricks curious customers into trying the dish, only to throw it away soon after.

Main Dishes

Mash- A dish that is composed of ground beef, chopped pieces of chicken and pieces of fruit. It is usually served with--

 

Surprise! - This dish is quite literally a surprise. The chef is expected to carve open a large fruit and fill it with different types of meat, seasons and fish, though other ingredients are welcome. The chef then closes the mixture with the fruit's skin and gives the warm creation to the customer. It is an entertaining dish that can either be incredibly digusting, interesting, bland or delicious. Kha chefs often record different versions of Surprise! so they can repeat successful creations.

 

Fish and Fruit Surprise! - A  successful version of the above dish with an edible skin, filled with salty fish and pieces of another soft, juicy fruit. It is the size of an apple and is commonly eaten as a snack. The outer layer of the Fn'F has enough apple along with the skin to create a satisfying crunch and interesting initial flavor.

 

Sauces and Seasonings

Rockfruit Sauce- A sauce that is used as an optional topping on many dishes. It has been altered so that it isn't as sweet as it would be if it was taken directly from the fruit and set out exposed to the air so that it can thicken a bit more. It has the thickness of syrup.

 

Sweetened  - A term used to describe a dish that may have originated away from the island but has been altered to better fit a Kharajyr's taste. Instead of just meaning sweet, it usually means to be showered with sugar or sweetened dramatically in some other way. Alternatively, a customer could ask for their dish to be "Unsweet" to be sure that the chef wont automatically sugar it.

 

Honeyed (unsure how to spell) - A term used to describe the drenching of a sweet sauce on a dish. It usually completely covers the entire food item.

 

Sidedishes

Sea Sand - A type of preparation that is used with fish. It can be used with any type of fish, save for the bonefish and others that have difficulty being chopped into slices. It is a fish that is chopped horizontally in many slices and served alongside a maindish. It can be served with the bones still inside and with or without the head. Rockfruit sauce is given with this dish.

 

Raw fish/ Raw meat - Simply raw fish or raw pieces of meat that compliment the dish. They are not usually seasoned.

Fish and Bits (Of apes) - A soup made of fish, and ape, preferbaly the ones who are short and live a short life. It has milk, fish, ape, sugar, ape blood. To prepare, you must cut the ape into bits, along with the fish. Pour a bit of the blood, milk, and sugar, into a wooden bowl. Mix it up. Once you have a thick looking bowl of a strange color, put the ape bits in a bot, and place it over a fire, and pour a bit of water into it. Wait till bubbles start to show up, and overflow the pot. Then take the burning ape out, and put it into the bowl. Follow the same steps with the fish.

Let it set for a bit, to cool off, and then enjoy. Do not keep overnight, or it will harden.
