Oh yeah, the patrons are around. I've met a few of them in the last year. Some of them are even pretty helpful. This time last year, Cloverfield hung around the shore a lot. He's huge, but he's very gentle as long as you're nice to him, and sad.
Yeah, not sure I'd use the lake water in the kitchen in it's truest form, but I've heard you can extract the salt from it for cooking.
Yeah, I mean, they're people too. They just look different, and act different, and at least some of them sound different. But that doesn't mean they're without feelings.
I've never tried cooking with ocean water myself, but I think I've heard that before, yeah. I kind of just stick to simple recipes, and after being a squid, it's kind of hard to look at seafood the same way?
I don't know if I'd really consider them gods, exactly. They're a little more hands on than that. I guess you could consider them comparable to either Greek or Roman gods if you're looking for that kind of comparison. Just where they all do have emotions and particular interests and stuff.
Yeah, therefore been a few things I've kind of stopped eating since coming here. I was never really crazy about seafood to begin with.
A little bit of both, really. You can find all kinds of information on them in the Archives, and sometimes just from talking to people who've had their own encounters with them.
Yeah. The mushrooms here are pretty good - and because they're such a staple most people have figured out a really wide variety of ways to cook them. Did you know some people make them into tea?
I don't know how common it is. Some people seem to get lucky and find people they know from home here, though. I was the only one from my world here - well, between here and Deerington - for about a year.
Oh, burgers are usually ground beef patties on a bun. People put all kinds of things on them - tomato, lettuce, ketchup, mustard. Whatever you like. Here, sometimes you can get them with mushrooms instead. They're a pretty good substitute.

Date: 2022-10-23 06:27 am (UTC)Hah hah very fair! But, if it is of any comfort, think of it as the natural predatory order of things. Sea creatures eating sea creatures, as it were.
Though, it probably means eating squid could be seen as cannibalism, unfortunately.

Date: 2022-10-28 05:23 am (UTC)I've heard of such a thing. But I've yet to try it myself. I can be a bit particular about tea, I'm afraid.
no subject
Date: 2022-10-30 02:14 pm (UTC)Yeah, I haven't been quite that brave yet either. Mushrooms feel like the kind of thing that are best left to other recipes. Like, you know. Soup.

Date: 2022-10-31 02:32 am (UTC)Ahaha yes, indeed. Soup and stir-fry.

I'm afraid I am unfamiliar with 'burgers'...

no subject
Date: 2022-11-11 09:43 am (UTC)I think there's a few places around here you can get them. Or you can always make your own too
no subject
Date: 2022-11-12 07:03 am (UTC)Is that so? I'll have to seek them out sometime.
no subject
Date: 2022-11-18 06:16 am (UTC)Yeah, I'd recommend them.
