Food! The Delicate Gastronomic and Sensorial Cuisine

Funny - I almost forgot to post this and then I remembered when I was eating lunch.

So, whenever you're reading something, there might be a detail that you overlook (except when you're reading The Hobbit) and that is food.
It can seem so simple, so unimportant, who cares what the character is eating - y'all want to see the next action scene, yet food is not only fun to describe, but can be a crucial point for getting your characters to talk and slow down.

When you create your own world, you can also create your own food. The angels are the ones who have the most delicate and refined meals which makes sense, vampires drink blood and merpeople are presumably vegetarians of a sort. Not all of the food listed makes an appearance in Island Whispers, but I'd certainly like to try some of them. Here are some of the things that I made:

Tailwind berry: Created by Divia. “It was a bit soft, a thin layer of skin to cover the flesh. He took a bite, the flavor of the meat of this fruit stole over his taste buds. It was succulent and sweet, he chewed it slowly savoring the strange taste, noticing that it was laced with strong desire.”

Leona berry- orange, with black seeds, tastes like vinegar.

Elder Tree: Light, lovely crunch, can soak up juices.

Cloudberry- ripe= golden yellow, soft, juicy, tart, fresh. over-ripe=creamy like yogurt and sweetened. Raspberry fruit, pale red to amber in autumn. (So this isn't actually a made up fruit, I just thought the name was so fitting for an angel to eat)

Nut Twister: Whole nuts, variations include a syrupy part or the nuts coated with something.

Cirrus Juice- Gives one lots of energy.

Whipped Shake with sunbeams: sweet and has its own light that makes it glow.

Raspberry water

Honey-leaf tea -

Blue drink-

Stalaca Roots- Look like carrots. Strong silky fibers that are used for clothes. (Demons).

  1. When it said blue drink I immediately thought of Blue Milk from Star Wars ^_^

    1. That's funny. I never thought of that, but it's cool. Star Wars has lots of interesting food too!
