you could make it less bland with careful usage
fatty ground beef mixed with garum and egg as a binder garum is basically fermented fish sauce, and works similarly in cooking to Worcestershire sauce.
wrap in a smokey peppered bacon to get your needed seasoning, which provides most of the seasoning you need.

really, the only problem is how dense this is, since we aren't using breadcrumbs or something, but it should be fine. wtih the crumbs, milk right in the body would be fine. without?

I'm no historian, or dietician, but I imagine most climates are not able to support the various fruits and vegetables required to sustain a person without meat all at the same time. Like you can't grow peanuts in the same place you grow fruits.

That being said, most of Asia functions on very little meat. Beef is "rare" or at least expensive in Japan. I imagine that most medieval villages or farmers had a fairly low meat diet compared to what we eat today. More like once every few meals, rather than every meal having meat.

That's due to Asia eating a lot of bean and nut-based dishes as well. Where it can be found, fish is abundantly present and several kinds of reptile are considered delicacies. There are Chinese street vendors that can pick out, slaughter, gut, prep, cook and wrap an entire boa in under 15 minutes for you.

Within their forested realms they are strictly carnivorous. To do any harm to the sacred flora of their ancestral groves is blasphemous. Cannibalism is not frowned upon. Outside their realms their diet is comprised mostly of vegetables, since the foreign vegetation an elf consumes empowers the groves. Once all the natural world has been consumed, the elvish realms will absorb the material plane and the elves will reclaim True Immortality, to be gods among gods as they were in time antediluvian.

Why do you think they eat almost any animal, insects included? Because meat wasn't that easy to come by before modern refrigeration and supply systems.

there's an ongoing ethnic feud between my settings snakemen and lizardmen. One set is from a distant cosmic realm, the other is an ancient race of cavern dwellers, and mixing them up or failing to distinguish which is which is the only sure way to make both sets of reptile folk stop fighting and lynch you.

The odd thing is that the snakemen have the most humanoid hands/limbs, of which they are very proud, and will mock the lizardmen for having less developed claws with various racial epithets, but the lizard men still call them limbless, as well as deriding their 'cold-blooded sloth' despite having the same trait. Both are mostly tan to green, and bear large slitted eyes, scales, and fanged teeth, and take enormous pride in their ornamental features, like forked tongues and spines. Lizardmen bear glorious frills, Snakemen have none the less splendid hoods. Again, confuse them at your own risk.

I will never understand this shit. Being a vegetarian and not eating steak, or fish, or drumbsticks I understand.

But not eating eggs or dairy products? As long as the animals are free range then what the hell is the harm in eating those? Especially eggs. Eggs are fucking chicken periods. They are going to pop them out no matter what, why leave them around to rot and then cause all kinds of nasty mold and insect problems, not to mention the scent will attract predators.

You are actively harming your chickens by leaving their unfertilized eggs laying around. So why not eat them instead of throwing them away?

Just god damn stupid ass tree huggers.

Elves of all people would understand the symbioses between milk animals like cows and goats, and egg animals like chickens.

You actually reminded me of an NPC I had help my players once in Pathfinder.

She was an elf, and a druid, but her bond was with plants. She even had a plant companion. (Treesinger archetype)

Because she was supposed to keep plants in check and act as a bridge between them and humanoids, she was forbidden from eating any plant matter. Strict carnivore.

I stole that bit from the Bosmer and I'm not sorry at all. My players don't even know TES, so none of them cared.

Hmmm, do you think that maybe elves are actually biologically herbivorous rather than omnivorous like humans. That could be interesting.

Low and no meat diets are cheap and healthy. Historically the vast majorly of people had meat only as a rare luxury and got most protean from grains and legumes.

This is true, but you need to KNOW YOUR SHIT if you are trying to make sure a baby's brain develops appropriately without lipids from animal fat. In some states, if you don't have an appropriate degree or a nutritionist on retainer, it's considered neglect to try and raise children vegetarian during certain age gaps.

I guess, if elves have human-like brains, and they get their lipids from specialized plants, then they must have some evolutionary/behavioral adaptations highly valuing those crops. Maybe that's why they are SO territorial of ELVEN WOODS, because there are certain woods where the crops that are necessary to their survival as a species are located in sufficient number to sustain a society. Maybe they don't even understand where the instinct comes from.

Being biologically vegetarian instead of omnivorous actually explains a lot about elves.

The largest soybean producers are the United States, Brazil and Argentina, but it's a very common crop worldwide for animal feed and food additives. It's unlikely you live more then a long car ride from a soybean farm right now.

>>54513877
Cheese is, compared to legumes, a pretty sorry source of dietary protean but a great source of supplementary calories and the only real premodern way to preserve dairy. A pre-modern pig had a market weight of roughly 220 pounds, yielding roughly 110 pounds of pork. Dried, salted or smoked you'd be looking at about 70 pounds prepared.

So.. enough for special occasions, and to add a LOT of flavor to other dishes, along with vital nutrients and ingredients (lard from hogs was very useful for a lot of stuff). The fact that most people got 90% of their daily nutrition from beans, grains and rhizomes doesn't mean meat wasn't an important part of their diet, and one that people were willing to spend money on. Their diets were, generally, nutritionally complete without meat, but supplemented with it when possible.
>>
>>54512612
Oh this idiocy..

Most people got their meat from the anual slaughter tradition usually done during fall right before december hits.

Salted or smoked pork was the main food of peasantry.
Cheeze and eggs came in second.

The average European farmer was well fed with pork when armies didn't torch down their fields or steal their cattle.
Which is when potatoes came to spread to Europe it allowed the countries who used it to eliminate 90% of starving cases.

Meanwhile French folks considered it to be the Devils food because it grows underground and had some of the most widespread food-shortages in all of Europe which somehow led to the French revolution.

That's pretty remarkable. I mean, getting all their food once a year when their preservation methods could keep pork for between 3 weeks and 6 months. Were these people able to survive fasting for 6 months at a time?

The mistrust for potato was because they strongly resemble the nightshade they are related to and bread has been the staple of the European diet for thousands of years. While pigs fed on agricultural and kitchen scraps were a vital part of the European diet, meat cattle were not until the early modern period.

Without debating the value of a vegan lifestyle, the Elves in my setting are more like Bosmer - they're the plains-dwelling steppe barbarians to the North, migratory hunter-gatherers who are more a part of nature than the "civilized" races. There are others who've forgotten, and built great cities and become stagnant stereotypical elves, but the "true" elves are one with the woods.

They eat what they find. Berries, nuts, mushrooms, wild fruit, and mosses, supplemented by fish and game meats, with seasoning and medicine handled by herblore.

Medieval Asia ate just as much meat as Medieval Europe, which is to say as much as they could afford.

Beef was expensive in historical Asia because they used oxen as draft animals, making them too valuable to slaughter for the majority of the population. That means they used other meats like pork and chicken as their staples instead.

Night elves eat meat whenever they can, often preferring venison. Wood elves enjoy mutton the most because that's what was most available in their surrounding regions, and high elves like meat, but basically have to eat kosher because of their weaker constitution.

No, but they don't like food that is too processed.
They will happily eat cockroaches, but cheese is just very spoiled milk to them.
But they also hibernate in winter, so they don't need as many food preservation methods as humans do.

>Vegans in medieval Spain.
They would be so mocked an entire genere of literature would have been born about them. Novelas veganescas. Probably they would have made them wear a special robe with something like dunce in a hat like they did with the false converted jews than were forced to wear a sambenito. Probably even some town would have special festivities related to them. carnivoros y veganos like they do with Moros y cristianos, but in that regard Jews, Moors and Christians would moke them to ded.

There haven't been many big high fantasy anime or manga in recent years that aren't isekai wish fulfillment bullshit.

When anime plays high fantasy (and certain sci-fi) straight they usually play elves straight too, with both men and women. See RoLW, Crest/Banner of the Stars, Tales of Symphonia, Slayers, etc.

It has the word in its name but it's not quite that genre though.

Normally shows like that are about a person from the modern world finding themselves transplanted or reborn in a fantasy world with strange power and is oft a power fantasy.

Restaurant to Another World is about an out of the way but popular western style restaurant in Japan that's closed on Saturday.

That's because the owner solo operates the establishment as its front door appears in multiple places on another world easily attributable to a generic D&D setting.

Travelers, wanderers, and those who happen to find one of these doors get to enjoy the taste of our world.

And, for the Saturday service, he takes on a young destitute Tiefling woman as a waitress when a door manifests a few hours early where she was hold up.

So far the story is about establishing how some new customers have come upon this place, as well as established diners and their history with the current owner/chef and his predacessor.

Kind of want carnivor elves now. It would explain why their population remains low despite having incredible lifespans. They simply can't sustain the same size population in an equivalent area as other races.

Wood elves could be exclusive hunters, while high elves are those cultured enough to raise livestock.

No. They eat "regular" food except it tastes and looks better than most other cuisine because it's got some magic in it and they got a lot of recipes involving very fresh local ingredients taken from a magic forest. Yeah that's kind of a "Elves are humans but better" kind of thing but that doesn't really matter cause Elves aren't a playable races in my setting. I like keeping them as NPC fae races inhabiting the Seelie and Unseelie Courts so they can stay nice and magical and fantastical. I dislike most fantasy races as playable. I feel it makes it a lot harder to not have them becoming "Humans but [blank]". Human with [fantasy race] blood in their family is fine though.
>>
>>54523069
Hate to rain on your parade but that's an incredibly shitty idea. Elves, dwarves, orcs, etc. etc. have become so mainstream these days that a lot of people will be put off by not having the option to play them no matter how fantastic and mysterious you make them. You have D&D, World of Warcraft, and a plethora of fantasy RPGs to thank for that.

You're better off making brand new races from scratch to be unplayable, fantastic, and mysterious.
>>
>>54523684
That's not really my problem. It's my setting. It's meant to appeal to me not the MMO crowd. Besides, what you said is completely wrong. People more than ever are into gritty human centered fantasy with magic being there, but either muted due to certain reasons or just in the background hidden from the every man.

It is when it comes to interactive fantasy worlds.

Game of Thrones and other human-dominated fantasy worlds are mainly the realms of movies, TV shows, and books. Otherwise, it's hard to come up with any famous examples of video and roleplaying games where players can design their own characters from the ground up.

>>54524451
The Witcher series. Dragons Dogma, the Gothic series, though that is older. The Albion MMO just came out so that remains to be seen if it'll keep it's population. Mount and Blade though that barely possesses any Fantasy components, still an RPG.

Closest thing to "Elves" in my setting are Nordic looking raiders that subsist on whale meat, fish, and the various shrubs and lichens that grow in the frozen continent and ice floes they call home.

They raid and capture stuff, but a lot of it goes to market when they decide to trade. The sharp teeth and pointed ears are about as "elf like" as you get
