ALT On Orsimer Cuisine “A century ago, if you asked an average Orc to describe their cuisine, most would proudly admit to its simplicity and heartiness. Roast Echatare Beef, Horker Pie, Fermented Milk. Most dishes were prepared communally in a stronghold. At present, most Orcs would describe their cuisine, with a prideful smirk, as “Too spicy for you.” Orcish cuisine has embraced a variety of spices and garnishes introduced through the globalization of Tamriel. Orsimer have developed a palate for spice, becoming increasingly fond of harsh, intense flavours. Newer, spicier dishes continue to pop up. Stir-fried Eschatare, Blood Stew, Spice Meat Bun, Etc. Industrialization gradually kills many communal styles of cooking, especially in the wall of Orsinium. Which is a shame, because if you have never had a roast Echatere leg under the star in the Wrothgarian Mountains while listening to the deep rhythm of throat singing yet, then perhaps you have never truly lived.” - Antonius Bourdaine
