| - Food among the common folk of Westershire is plentiful and diverse. Many of the islands off the Dutchy’s western coast subsist on a diet comprising mostly of fish and shellfish, whereas those on the mainland subsist mostly on a diet of grains such as millet, barley, wheat, rye, and oats. Meat is fairly affordable due to imports from Centrafeld, and consists mostly of beef, pork, chicken, and mutton occasionally supplemented with fresh game. Cheese, specifically made from the milk of sheep and cows is a staple, and is used both as a complete dish and ingredient. Beer, particularly stout is a famed export from Westershire, as it isn’t warm enough for growing grapes for wine and the duchy produces a large surplus of barley. A common meal after a long day of work in Westershire consists of brown bread, a fish or beef stew with turnips, parsnips, onions, and carrots, typically cooked and served with a good helping of stout. The nobility tend towards fine roasts and elaborated baked dishes. Pasta has become a more common sight on the table of the Prince and Princess and that of more adventurous nobles. Pasta making is still an unrefined art, however, as it is in the process of being derived from a method to make noodles out of rice and buckwheat from Nobugo. Westershire nobles import a fair amount of spices and citrus from overseas, but tend to focus more on what they as a duchy produce. The exception to this is Ulyssian wine and Nobugohito rice wine, which have become extremely popular over the past few years.
