But in my life I never meant to cause no harm

[inaurate]

Who: Claude (inaurate) & You!
What: Claude's hosting his own birthday party a multi-cultural feast and everyone's invited! If you would like your character to contribute a recipe, please see the top-level within to do that!
When: The evening of July 24th (forward-dated) but this will also cover prep.
Where: The Festival Green (basically dead center of the island/town, you can't miss it!)
Warning(s): Will update if any apply.

There is a notice about the event posted to the community bulletin board in early July. Below it is a small wooden box with an open slot in the top.

Those who Claude knows personally will also receive an individual invitation with the same information.

On the evening of the 24th this month, there will be a feast held in the Festival Green, and all are welcome to attend! I invite everyone to submit a recipe from their home, and I will do my best to recreate them here. If it will require off-world ingredients, please get it in sooner so I can make arrangements with everyone's favorite skeleton pirate merchant. (Donations of citrus fruit for payment to our dear captain are appreciated but not necessary.)

Along with plenty of food and drink, the musical stylings of Cormac and the Banshees will be featured, and there will be bonfire jumping after nightfall.

You are also welcome to bring your own dish if you so wish!

Looking forward to spending an evening feasting with you all!
~ Claude von Riegan

Recipe Submissions

[inaurate]

Please comment below with the recipe your character has submitted, either to the box at the bulletin board or to Claude directly. OOCly, this can be as vague or specific as you like. ICly, if your character just writes the name of a dish down and Claude has no idea how to make it.... you get what you get.

Please be sure to include the name of the dish and whether it is an entree, side dish, dessert, or drink, and if it requires ingredients specific to your character's homeworld.

Please note: While Claude has skill to cook, he can be uh... experimental in the kitchen. He will be trying in general to stick to the recipes but there will be a dice roll to determine how well he did at that.

First Aid doesn't know anything about cooking, but when he heard that Claude was collecting recipes and dishes from other cultures he got a sudden burst of inspiration and paid one of the town vintners to use berry juice to dye several bottles of wine a deep, creamy blue, a little bit like --

"Energon," he explains to Claude. "It's a type of fuel my people invented a long time ago to keep our bodies running efficiently. Of course this is just wine, but I thought the other guests might think it was a fun novelty?"

orz backdating you say.......

[inaurate]

Claude has no cultural context for why that might be weird to say, someone from a world with cars, so the fun blue wine is just a fun blue wine to him. "I think it's a fun novelty, so I'll go ahead and say you're right on that one. Thanks! It's not actually the first blue drink I've seen-- there's this flower where if you make a tea out of it, it comes out blue, but if you squeeze some lemon juice in, it'll turn purple. Some merchants try to market it as 'magic' but it's just a neat party trick."

"Oh, that sounds adorable!" First Aid is just glad that his offering is going over well. "Sometimes we like to add little crystals or mineral salts to our energon for similar reasons, to make it turn funny colors or go fizzy, but I was a little worried about accidentally poisoning someone so I just went with the basic look."

Argentine Style Empanadas

César brings his own beef empanadas, Argentine style the day of, but he speaks with Claude earlier to give him the recipe in case he wants to try his own fillings. :) Have fun experimenting.
