How to use food to seduce a Dark Lord

Table of Contents

Because of my plan to seduce and marry the Dark Lord, I need to consider the topic of food, and all the sacrifices I'll have to do for the sake of politeness... Refusing to eat anything is extremely rude, regardless of how disgusting it is, so I'll have to endure whatever is served to me at elite gatherings. Once I'll finally have enough clout to host gatherings myself, I'll also have to be careful not to serve anything the Dark Lord would not like—not that he would force himself to eat anything, but him not eating would be a great public insult against me! This all means I'll have to be tactical...

Elites' food

Characteristics: capital, elite, rich

Starter: fish, very elaborate—Ok, but careful of risk of not being hungry anymore afterwards!

Main: wheat-based, creamy sauce, hunting meat or exotic meat—Meat sometimes very strange especially with one-upmanship, most sauce excellent but can be too rich.

Cheese: cow and goat milk, compressed paste & non-baked, soft & creamy, very smelly & strong taste—Smell disgusting but delicious.

Dessert: very whippy-cream cake—Disgusting, too sweet & lack consistency + new trend from Illinie! Who even likes Illinie? Why are we imitating them??? No way I'm eating that!

Note: study vanishing magic.

Dark Lord's family food

Characteristics: poor, Eastern local

Starter: only vegetables—Size perfect, but salad sauce rarely good.

Main: potatoes, fruity sauce, often mixing sweet & sour taste—Unusual but very interesting, explains why Dark Lord always prefers fruity-stuff -> adding fruits is great way to please him!

Cheese: cow milk, compressed paste & baked, hard, mixed with fruits & nuts—Hit or miss, some combinations too strange.

Dessert: fruit tarts with vanilla custard and/or chocolate & nuts—Delicious, I need to try new recipes! Could even try baking myself as a gift? Or too plebeian?

My family's food

Characteristics: mix elite and Northern local

Starter: small mix of meat and vegetables—Size ok, content likely to please Dark Lord.

Main: less exotic meat and prefer to eat all parts of the animals as is done in traditional cuisine—Taste great but weird out other regions, don't serve to Dark Lord!

Cheese: cow or goat milk used to make baked cheese with compressed paste that are hard and surface-ripened (gruyère, emmental, comté)—Dark Lord likely to consider them dull, serve with quince jam?

Dessert: real chocolate cakes & other cakes with consistency!—The absolute best, especially melting-heart chocolate cakes! Can mix them with strawberries for Dark Lord.
