Cuisine
Rŷgälic cuisine is the cuisine of the Velutarian Empire, as well as parts of Udkaal.
The most important staple is corn, coming in various shapes, sizes, textures, and colors, it is eaten as cornbread, gruel, or couscous. The cooking of maize grains in alkaline solutions, a process called nixtamalization, significantly raised the nutritional value of the common staple. Other major crops include potatoes, beans, squash, peppers, tomatoes, giving the average Velutarian a well rounded diet, without any significant deficiencies in vitamins or minerals. Other minor crops include bananas, pineapple, avacadoes, papaya, peanuts, cashews, and dragon fruit.
Water, drinks made from fermented fruit, honey, wheat,and corn are the most common drinks. The elite take pride in not drinking that of commoners, and prefer drinks made from cacao, among the most prestigious luxuries available. Favored by rulers, warriors and nobles, it is favored with honey and a seemingly endless list of spices and herbs.
The Rŷgälic diet also consists of a variety of fish and wild game. They also have domesticated ducks, geese, goats, reptiles, and llamas as food, though llama meat is typically reserved for the high nobility.
