The Zeko Cherry Smoked - Bosk or Siamadow
This excellent tasting dish is served with a lot of controversies. This dish even creates some hated of the Zekoshi culture. Because those involved with the Bosk Druids and those living in Siamadow are needed for a Zekograft.
This dish is a Zekografts of meaty flesh with no unique adaptation smoked to perfection. Nevertheless, the Zekoshi people love the taste of it. However, they know it is very controversial, but they continue to consume it.
History
The discovery of the Zeko Cherry Smoked - Bosk or Siamadow leads back to the exploration of Lenord Gaff Zekkin to The Harvesters Paradise. Lenord Gaff Zekkin wanted to invent a way of prolonging one's life with science instead of magic. However, in the process, he discovered Zeko Magic. This was a process of making living grafts of creatures hence named Zekografts. These would create new body modifications or even interesting cures for various ailments.
In discovering one of the prominent locations of The Harvesters Paradise, Lenord Gaff Zekkin came across a beautiful Cherry Tree forest known as the Cherry Bloom Bosk. Living here was a strange but peaceful race of Firblog. These Firblog tended to the woods under the guardianship of the Bosk Druids. However, the curiosity of what this race of Firblog could due as a Zekografts made Lenord Gaff Zekkin go crazy. He learned that these Zekografts would provide a layer of fur to the modified person, but the smell of the flesh was delicious. So with the aid of trees in the Cherry Bloom Bosk, he smoked the Zekografts and consumed them.
It wasn't until learning the creatures in Cherry Bloom Bosk, and even Siamadow were sentient creatures that this practice of harvesting Zekografts was almost completely outlawed. However, just like everything wrapped into tradition, the Zekoshi culture only allows the hunting and consumption of Zeko Cherry Smoked - Bosk or Siamadow only during a Zekoshi wedding. After that, it follows a strict process and procurement of the Zekografts.
Execution
This is the process of procuring the proper Zekografts. For example, step one is a couple wanting to get married and betrothed to one another. The couple should have already gone through similar processes of harvesting Zekografts in the past via Zekoshi courting rituals.
After they have decided it's time to get married, they would need to seek a proper license from the local Expert Examiner. This is done by demonstrating to the Expert Examiner that they know how to harvest Zekografts properly without killing or harming the creature they come from. After they get the license, the following steps can be done at any time or together.
The now engaged couple will need to acquire cherry wood from the Cherry Bloom Bosk. This is as simple as cutting down a cherry tree or gathering cherry timbers from the Cherry Bloom Bosk. The hardest part is acquiring Zekografts from Bosk Druids or denizens of Siamadow. This last step could take a couple of years to complete pending their method of wanting to aquire said Zekografts.
There are three main ways a Zekoshi would seek out these Zekografts. First, some will pay the Bosk Druids or Siamadow for assisting in their marriage ritual. This is the most ethical and highly sought method by the upper-classed Zekoshi. However, a proper Zekografts of this nature could cost many Platinum coins pending on the betrothed individual. Another technique is usually ethical but might not be accepted as appropriate in some cultures. It would be done by acquiring a Zekografts of one that has recently died in the past 24 hours. These are typically free for those that want to consume living flesh off of dead Bosk Druids or Siamadow. So this is the method sought out by the lower class of Zekoshi.
The last option is the most immoral way to acquire these special Zekografts. This process is one of the reasons the hatred is brewing for the Zekoshi by the Bosk Druids and Siamadow denizens. The newly engaged couple would seek out and hunt the Bosk Druids or Siamadow denizens and forcefully take the Zekografts. This is typically against Zekoshi culture but has turned a blind eye lately. This is generally done by those that dwell at the bottom of Zekoshi culture and tend to practice shady doings.
Regardless of the method to acquire the Zekografts. First, they would need to be smoked in a kiln with the Cherry Wood. Once it reaches the right temperature, all the hair or fur will be burned off the piece chosen for consumption. This piece would have to be twelve inches long and two inches wide. The engaged couple would then provide a taste to each family member, with them all refusing. If one doesn't decline, it means they don't approve of the wedding or how the dish was prepared. If all family members refuse, they can consume the Zeko Cherry Smoked - Bosk or Siamadow. Suppose a family member accepts a piece to be tasted. In that case, that family member has the right to tell the engaged couple they can no longer be engaged or try again. If able to try again, the engaged couple has to denounce their engagement and start courting again. In a year, they can try again. An engaged couple that is told they can't get engaged must anathematize their engagement, move on, and vow to no longer see each other.
