New Harren: Difference between revisions

Line 222:

New Harren is a cultural crossroads of Urcean and Cusinautic cuisine traditions. High society cuisine - that is, major restaurants in Port St. Charles and the constituent capitals - represent the cutting edge of what is considered to be the culture of the emergent [[Nysdrine people]].

Potatoes are the staple crop item that makes up the backbone of both Urcean food and indigenous food. The potato has long been one of the most readily identifiable food product of Cusinaut, and its status as a sturdy and flexible crop meant that it was the first one grown by 19th century Urcean colonists as well. Almost immediately after their arrival, Urcean-born farmers not only used the potato with which they were familiar but more or less eschewed all Levantine introductions, trying to the extent possible to use plants known to grow locally. The earliest colonial cuisine, then, largely mirrored contemporary indigenous food in ingredients if not in style; the added advantage the Urcean colonists had that was not as readily available in the [[Northern Confederation]] were various spices traded into New Harren from the [[Burgoignesc thalattocracy]]'s holdings in [[Audonia]].

Long before the advent of [[Freedom fries|freedom fries]] as the norm of sides in Urceo-Levantine cuisine, New Harren was noted for offering standard Urcean fare in terms of protein but substituting most side pastas, pasta salads, etc. with potato-based offerings such as mashed potatoes or a type of hash brown; the growth of globalization and rise of the fast food industry, accordingly, has rendered New Harren's cuisine traditions less unique. People in New Harren - of both Levantine and indigenous extraction - tend to follow the [[Culture_of_Urcea#Food|traditional consumption habits of Urcea]], including the dichotomy of breakfast, the emphasis on hors d'oeuvres, and since the 21st century, a growing reliance on fast food. The consumption habits of the indigenous people have been greatly influenced by Urcean patterns in the decades since the [[War of the Northern Confederation]], leading to their gradual adoption throughout the Confederation.
