The Giant's Meal of Ravensburg

---

Preparation

Boil the quail eggs until hard. Mix the yogurt with minced garlic and one to two diced cucumber as well as some olive oil, salt, and honey, and stir diligently. Then, cut all but one tomato into slices or quarters and slice the remaining cucumbers.
Heat up olive oil in a pan. As it does, place some dill into the oil after cutting off the stems, making a bed for the herring to fry on. Once the pan is hot, place the herring and fry it. This should not take long, since it is a small fish, you'll see when it is ready. As you turn it (twice), smother it in some lemon juice and sprinkle salt, pepper, and spice mix onto it.
Place the herring on the plate and halve most of the eggs, arranging them to one side of the fish. Place mushrooms, tomato and cucumber slices, a corner of honey comb, and the tiny carrots on the plate and decorate with the whole quail eggs and the remaining uncut tomato.
Serve with the yogurt sauce and some milk.
Enjoy.

A closer Look

The Song of Jörgensmahl

This song tells of the tradition of the giant's meal, which honors the first High King of the Fiefdoms of Ravensburg, Jörg the Greater, who was thought of as a giant for his enormous stature. The High King is elected by the jarls that rule the different Fiefdoms, and Jörg was so beloved that new High Kings are judged by his standard and fed this meal of tiny things to make them feel the weight of responsibility that rested on the giant's shoulders.

On some of the Ingredients and their Origin

Herring of Loch Môrdryn
The Kaltani Fiefdoms of Ravensburg are located largely around Loch Môrdryn, which is frozen over for more than 200 days of the year. The Ravensburg Kaltani trade large quantities of silverback trout to the Glade of Druith each year in exchange for the magically enhanced fruit picked in the Druith orchards all over the year. Herring, frozen in the ice, is also cut out in blocks and served year round.

Altonar Spice
Altonar, the City at the Water Vent, is the central power of the Axis of Steel (both politically and geographically). Their allies, Svalbrynd to the South, and the Fiefdoms of Ravensburg to the North, have profited greatly from their technological advantage, however, cooling elements and transportation aren't the only thing, Altonar brings other things to the table. For one there is also its famous Altonar Spice: A mixture of Svalbrynd sea salt, black pepper of Nyingma, red chilly peppers of the Yellow Sands, and locally grown cumin. A fiery mix, which is well liked far and wide.

Fruits of the Glade
North of the Brammenwoods lies the Glade of Druith, just past the great Lake of Glazglubin. Home to the nomadic, spiritualist people of Druith. By the power of their schamani animancy, their lush trees are laden with juicy fruit most times of the year, and they have taken to trading that fruit with neighboring powers, such as the Fiefdoms of Ravensburg.
