Description

Fall has come—the season of harvests, of feasts, of people buckling down for the winter and anticipating all the sweets and treats that come with its many holidays. It is the season of eating!   Aside from being a staple of survival, feasts have been a staple of literature since time immemorial. A proper feast allows the characters to sit down and talk, to demonstrate their character through their etiquette and interaction, and it allows us as worldbuilders to add a little—pardon the pun—flavor to our settings.   What’s a famous food in your world? Who eats it? How is it served? How rare is it?   Is it a sacramental offering to the old gods? Is it the holiday centerpiece? Perhaps it's a common comfort food. Whatever it is, we want to hear about it!
