The foods! FOOD! - Aeiteil Strand - 06-18-2013
So I was just curious about the foods that races and cities possibly eat!
Example being that Miqo'te probably eat a lot of meat, Little people eat fruits and such..
What types of food do your characters prefer to eat and or hate?

JJ, having adventured most of his life, eats pretty much anything. You ain't picky when you're lost in the wilderness. Bigs (big or small), fish, vegetation, things on meat-haunches (big or small)... He, of course, favors large plates of meat. But he's not beyond hanging out in a fruit tree all day nomming on fruits. Overall he's an opportunist.
RE: The foods! FOOD! - Aysun - 06-18-2013
Aysun has a stereotypical taste for fish, raw. She also greatly enjoys pastries and sweets, and they are a real treat, because they are expensive for her to purchase and she can't make them herself. Tea is a must, she finds her own leaves and makes her own usually (and is really terrible at it, usually with quite a bit of dreg still in it, but she clearly makes it to her own taste). She doesn't care for fruit, because they're /too/ sweet, but will eat them. Doesn't care for red meat / dodo / mutton either but won't turn it away. She really dislikes crayfish. A lot. Disgusting things. But again, you eat what you have to! And of course, she had developed quite a drinking problem over the last year or so, and is very partial to any quality rum or ale.

Sun lemons~ Â Like, by themselves. Â Eva even wrote a poem about that once!
Eva is a character who used to be drastically overweight and has since lost much of her body mass, so she still eats very sensibly - small portions of meat, fish, rice, lots of fruit and vegetables, and an wonderful overabundance of tea.
She does still have a weakness for chocolate, but it's a little more under control now. Â
Buuuuuut if we're talking about what the diet of the average adventurer from Thanalan consists of, or the average duskwight elezen, I'm not sure. Â There are merchants in each of the city-states from each of the other city-states so there is a great deal of variety from which to choose.

K'haz's favorite is Rabbit. He's not crazy about fish though - didn't grow up with it being raised in a desert and all. He loves ice cream though. He's willing to try anything once but really prefers meat. Ice cream with bits of bacon in it? He'll kill a man for that.

Do they have pizza in Eorzea?

Haha but no seriously, who knows? I don't think they'll ever be a list of foods that are lore appropriate on the official web sight so I say wing it.Â
Though I am a little curious about Gridania. Do they have to be careful what they farm so not to upset the elementals? And what about Ul'dah? I haven't really explored it yet but are there farms? I mean they're in the middle of the desert. They can't just rely solely on trade, can they?

Konner likes coffee most times as it is easy to prepare over a camp fire and stale bread and molded cheese....Traveler's lunch/breakfast/supper you know?
RE: The foods! FOOD! - Orlog - 06-18-2013
Marmot roasted over a campfire! ...No, really. Bea made it for Misericorde a ton back in 1.0 due to being dirt poor and marmots being readily available. But, even after coming into some money she's acquired a taste of it, much to the dismay of her fellow team mates.
RE: The foods! FOOD! - cranlet - 06-19-2013
Melle loves anything bitter or spicy! When it's enough to make you cringe and make your face contort weirdly, she'll probably want it. But knowing how it is to have nearly starved, she won't really complain about food (unless she's in an establishment known to serve good food and possibly point out the lack of spicy/ier dishes).
RE: The foods! FOOD! - ForestGuardian - 06-19-2013
If you hadn't considered it yet, the Culinarian class and information about it might be a good resource.Â
http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Culinarian
http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Category:Foods
Other than that, I almost think it might be acceptable to draw from real world influences... Let me know if I'm totally off base here, but-...Â
Roegadyn might have some dishes that resemble german cuisine.
Sunseeker Miqo'te might have some dishes that resemble native american or mexican cuisine.
Wildwood Elezen might have some dishes that resemble french cuisine.
Dunesfolk Lalafell might have some dishes that resemble middle eastern cuisine.
Just some assumptions, based on naming, geography, etc. Either way, it will be interesting to see how the game shows these kinds of things.Â
My own characters? I think Hyltwakka will have less of an appetite than most Roegadyn, but smoked salmon (or whatever fish exists) will be a favorite, and he'll be perfectly happy with whatever's common in Gridania or to the Wildwood / Moonkeepers.Â
I really don't have my Sunseeker figured out too much, but I imagine he'll be reluctant to eat anything that he hasn't killed or that someone he's close to hasn't killed. He'll want to know what everything is, how it died, what the person who prepared it was like. Maybe. It sounds like an interesting sort of quirk, and I sort of base it on the fact that he'll be from the Antelope tribe, and he (at least) will feel a sort of honorable, reverent relationship between himself and his prey / food.
edit: There is something called a Tomato Pie... Sounds like pizza.
edit: I might have been a bit off. Maybe.

-http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Stuffed_Cabbage (Sea Wolf)
I'm going to try guessing a little here...
Common with Sea Wolves?
-A fresh, raw oyster, shucked and splashed with a squeeze of sun lemon. (Raw Oyster)
-A tiger cod salted and dried in the sun. (Salt Cod)
-A traditional Sea Wolf dish consisting of pike wrapped in cabbage and steamed until soft. (Stuffed Cabbage)
-Chopped midland cabbage pickled with salt. A staple on all Lominsan trade ships, as it is said to prevent the scurvy. (Sauerkraut)
-A light soup of butter-sauteed whitefish and vegetables. (Fish Soup)
-A complimentary acorn treat baked by the Mizzenmast Inn. May contain nuts. (Mizzenmast Biscuit)
-Apkallu eggs beaten and then cooked in rich butter until fluffy and light. A favorite in Vylbrand's coastal hamlets. (Apkallu Omelette)
An apple-filled pastry shaped to resemble the legendary sunfish. (Pastry Fish)
-A rich bon-bon made from sweet white chocolate infused with heavier-than-air bubbles. (Pearl Chocolate)
-This dark green variety of seaweed found in all five of Eorzea's seas has been known to grow up to a malm in length. (Malm Kelp)
Common with Sunseekers?
-Cactus leaves roasted like a steak and slathered in a colorful vegetable sauce. (Roasted Nopales)
-This vegetable soup is made cold and then heated by inserting a scalding rock. (Stone Soup)
-A roasted artichoke stuffed with a savory blend of pungent cheese and succulent crab meat. (Stuffed Artichoke)
-A thick strip of lean buffalo meat dried in the sun. (Jerked Beef)
-Simple, unleavened bread made of flour and water. (Flatbread)
-A tough piece of meat taken from the upper-leg of an antelope. (Antelope Shank)
-A thick, spiny-leaved cactus indigenous to the southern continent of Meracydia. The Miqo'te are known to treat severe burns with the cool gel-like substance found inside the leaves. (Aloe)
-An edible, oval-leaved cactus brought back by explorers of the New Continent. (Nopales)
-The fruit of a sunflower, this small seed is covered by a thin, black shell. (Sunflower Seeds)
-Hundreds of sweet yellow kernels adorn each cob of this vegetable native to the recently discovered New Continent. (Millioncorn)
Bleh, so many kinds of food... It would be really difficult to try and pin all of it to a certain race, since there's most definitely a lot of cross-over. But I did what I could, and it's still probably not 100% accurate.
RE: The foods! FOOD! - ForestGuardian - 06-26-2013
I don't even know if Roegadyn would refer to food in the old tongue, but they seem very fond of both tradition AND food... So I put this together, using the Roegadyn dictionary. I just might have to make my Roegadyn a Culinarian...Â
Some words might be off slightly. I wasn't sure what to do to make Herb/Smoke/Boil into Herbed/Smoked/Boiled, so I chose either ING (n) or Y (i) depending on what sounded right. If something seems completely off, let me know. Also, some dishes / ingredients might not seem typical for Roegadyn, but might be something other races eat. Frog Legs, for example, I would relate to Wildwood Elezen (their names sound very french). Anyway, this isn't completely "done", so I might edit things in or out.
