Dyeaxiaon Cuisine

A CUISINE FROM A SPARSE, BARREN OR REMOTE REGION IN YOUR WORLD
Dyeaxiaon is a desert moon orbiting the planet Sorr'aan. Food is often limited in both quantity and quality. In recent years, however, Dyeaxiaon cusine has become noteworthy because of one large factor.    A hefty root vegetable grown in the arid plains is taking over he taste buds of foodies across Sorr'aani.  Durgian is highly flavorful and tender and is used mainly in soups and sandwich like foods on the moon itself but is becoming very popular in high end restaurants in "fusion" cuisine and gourmand sets. It can be sliced and fried as chips, or dried and floured, it can be boiled or mashed or braised or shredded. something like a potato/taro root.
Its long growing cycle makes it susceptible to the short but powerful Dyeaxiaon monsoon season which can wipe out crops. However, the crop needs the monsoons to drive the roots deeper and to grow bigger. They are harvested by hand on most farms. Larger outfits have harvesting machines.


Mills Ogrinarc owns 3000 acres outside of Specuron in southern Dyeaxiaon. He is brokering deals for some off moon restaurants and grocery stores and setting himself up as a fair-trade farm. 
"Oh my god, this is gross." sam said with a disgusted face around a mouthful. "Yes, it is." he nodded with understanding. "And I get 340 a pound for it." She paused in the act of spitting it out and stared at him. She pointed to her mouth and said, "for this?" Sam shook her head and spit out the rest. Mills laughed, "It is a delicacy." Sam continued looking at him like he was crazy. "I'll ask Corilla to make them sliced and friend in Hurendimo Sauce for you. I promise, you may not love it, but you'll appreciate the appeal." "I'd rather not."
