Cavern Cuisine

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 16212

The cooks of Suffex county had prepared Fred's victuals for the journey with painstaking care. It was made sure that he had plenty of meats of every sort, pieces of vension and slabs of roast beef, whole chickens, rolls of ham and bacon and sausages and lamb chops as well as veal. Neither could their Lord be suffered to depart without a proper assortment of exotic cheeses, assorted fruits and vegetables, chewtaffy and hard candy (as well as Fred's favorite cheese and strawberry pastries), neatly sliced pieces of rhye bread, dried sweetmeats and two flagons of raspberry ale. And it most certainly have been unthinkable to package so much food without the proper flavouring ingredients, ie salt, pepper, hot sauces herbs and spices from foreign lands, and marinades for the meats. Fred had also packed enough cooking implements and fuel to cook all of the food, but lighting a fire here and attracting attention to themselves could be tantamount to suicide.

"My goodness!" Diana exclaimed as Fred unpackaged the sundry. "It all looks so wonderful!"

She tried to reach for a piece of ham but Fred jerked it away in horror. "Surely you don't intend to eat without saying prayers first? We must thank Providence for watching over us and giving us this bounty even in a time when so many experience hardship."

"Pray forgive me, sire I have just not eaten anything in days," Diana said.

  1. Fred insists on proper religious observance before either one of them eat.
  2. Fred relents and gives Diana something to satisfy her hunger.
  3. Fred's suspicions are aroused again. "What kind of noble-bred lady would place her mortal hunger over piety?"
  4. The source of the noises they had heard earlier decide to attack them at this point.
