Food

Potatoes, Carrots, Turnips, Beets, Wheat, Cabbage and other hardy crops

Meats from wild game, seafood, longhaired goats milk & cheese, ranging cattle.

The foods are made fresh when possible, and the meats are all cooked to a very well done state, usually over a hearth. During the long hard winter, the only source for vegetables are those preserved in earthenware jars. These tend to be high in salts and overpowering herbs to help them last the long winter. Meats can be salted and dried for the winter to come, or kept in a locked box outside to keep the animals from getting to it, but keeping the meat frozen and fresh. The Skoll tend to eat more meats and dairy as they have little access to fresh crops.

Meals are eaten with the entire family. The eldest of the family leads them in thanking Yrsa. There is as much talking as there is eating during meals. Most things are eaten with bare hands and talking with a full mouth is never a rude thing to do. Valgarins tend to avoid the use of spice where ever possible as they like to be able to taste the food that Yrsa has blessed them with, and because of the over seasoning of the foods during the winter months.
