Hello, and welcome to March's contest:

The King's Hungry Brother! (Winners below!)

Lord Porthur, the Royal Duke of Keppen and King Sigurd's younger brother, has traveled a long, long way to be with his brother. His long road has taken him through many friendly territories and he has sampled many unique and tasty treats, but none of them hit the spot.

He's still hungry.

This is where you come in. You have been asked to come up with the ultimate Illyriad-themed treat for the Duke to eat. It can be any combination of ingredients but MUST be edible, tested by you (we hope) and then shared with the rest of us.

Here's what you do.

Come up with a cool recipe, something that fits within the world of Illyriad. My recipe, for example, is Tusk Soup. I used large-noodle chicken soup and string cheese to look like tusks. It was disgusting and made me want to vomit. Hopefully, your recipe will not be so incredibly horrible. 

Take a picture of your dish and post it in this thread. You can use these guidelines to learn how to upload and host a picture. If you cannot figure out how to do it, IGM me the recipe and picture and I can do it for you. (Try first, OK? If you have questions let me know.)

Post the recipe and picture so that the players can recreate it if they want.

This contest will run all month long -- ending on 23:59 server time on the 31st -- and we will probably have to take a few days to judge. We might even put up the finalists for a vote.

The winner gets a full set of armor, a mount and weapon for one of their commanders (players choice, minus certain weapons like the Spirit Bow) a medal of their design (money is no object) and 200 prestige. The winner can also pick out any forum title to display on the forums, and we will detail the winner in a blog post and over social media.

Now all you need to do is GET TO COOKIN'!! The Duke is feeling faint...

A Meal for Kings!

As the sun shines through the top floor windows of the  5 storyed, Dew Drop Inn, the floor reserved for the Hostess and personal friends of Diva. She is already awake and calls out sleepily for the serving wench to enter, bringing her porridge sweetened with honey, a portion of ham, a small biscuit and hot tea for her morning meal.

Diva can already smell the beginnings of the meal that will be served from 1pm to the closing of the Dew Drop's dining hall with it's huge fireplace sending out heat to fill the room with a warmth that belies what the temperature is outside in the colder months. The bar on the other side of the wall, has a huge hearth as well.

As usual, Diva expects many merchants and buyers passing the Dew Drop Inn from the peninsula Trade Hub of Sebring to the south of the inn. Her business acumen has already rewarded her a thousand times over the location of the Dew Drop Inn.

She hired a head cook from Larn to the east of Elgea almost 4 years ago, hearing about the woman's scrumptious recipes for dishes made for Kings and peasants alike from a traveling Warder from Tar Valon. 

Upon interviewing the portly woman name Glendawynn and putting her to the test in Diva's spacious kitchen down on the lower floor,  Glendawynn served a meal in her clean, white apron (which has never appeared in 4 years otherwise). Diva has been happy since her first tasting of Glendawynn's meal of roasted scritcher, with savory spices, vegetables and bread made fresh from the kitchen.

Glendawynn has been most diligent in hiring young lads to make fences for sheep, pigs, and goats at  the cattle ranch a few miles away and to feed and care for the animals plus a yard full of ducks, geese, and chickens for cooking and their eggs.. She gets her milk, cheeses and butter from her well kept herd. If it is to be a special meal requested for pheasant or scritchers, the lads, of course, go on a hunt. Coastal and lake fish were brought occasionally throughout the week to make diverse dishes. Many fruit trees have been planted around the ranch ... including peaches, lemons, limes, mulberry, apricots, figs and apples.

Glendawynn has also made a large garden behind the stables at the Inn, that the lasses and serving staff are responsible for growing vegetables such as tomatoes, green beans, peas, onions, cabbage, carrots and potatoes and keeping the garden weed and critter free. 

And amid the vegetables, fresh flowers for the rooms of Diva and guests.  Glendawynn has been resourceful as well, putting up vegetables for any tough winter solstice when the ground is hard and bitter cold and pressing the flowers to beautiful pictures of art in the dining hall among the many hand-woven tapestries that decorate the walls.
 
Diva favorite meal of roast scritcher, already on a spit being turned continually by a serving lass, slowly over one of the fire hearths. It could reasonably hold 3 large scritchers if needed for festivals in the kitchen. Another hearth with a stew pot over the fire boiling greens with small chunks of ham adding such flavor (she is aware they are dandelions normally thought of as weeds) from around the fields in the the small village. Fresh potatoes have been dug and placed in the hot coals of the bread oven. The bread is fresh and hot throughout the day. Many a client has gifted Diva's kitchen with rare and exotic meats procured from far off lands.

Tea, beer and mulled spice wine has been bought from Sebring and stored in the cellar, kept cool and dark.

When the Lady Diva is so inclined, she travels to Sebring to buy tabac for the smoking pipes of her clients, new bolts of silks and linen for her clothing and decorating the rooms of Dew Drop... She also purchases rice, salt, spices, oils, vinegar and other supplies for cooking to be stored in the cellar for new and exciting dishes she has tasted from Glendawynn's long list of recipes. All may share for the gold coins jingling in their pouches, a delicious meal at the Dew Drop Inn.

Roast Scritcher recipe:

3 - 4 lb scritcher  *pork roast*
about 15 garlic cloves

Cajun Seasonings (found in most grocery stores as Zatarains or Tony Chachere)
------------------------------------------------------------------

Cut small slits all over scritcher roast, and insert garlic pieces over entire roast.
Season with cajun seasoning from the Southern most parts of Broken Lands.
Wrap entire roast in aluminum foil and place in roaster/oven.(55 minutes per pound @350F) Roughly 3 1/2 hours until tender.

Shred cooked scritcher roast into a 4" deep roaster add bell pepper and onions and a 16oz can of diced tomatoes. Cover again over roaster with top or aluminum foil and cook approximately 1 more hour, remove top for last 10 minutes. Add more cajun seasoning to enhance flavor to roast as needed. 

Serve with rice or mashed potatoes, fresh rolls and green salad or pasta salad.

Sharproot is a "violent purgative."  Are you sure it's safe even in this small amount?

On another note, I'm glad to finally see another use for brascan seeds.  Hopefully the market will improve.
