Arcer cuisine is largely based on its Ængle roots and Ardmori | Arcer cuisine is largely based on its Ængle roots and Ardmori cooking styles, with traditions and recipes associated with the Ardmori Isles as well as with influences from Gaelic peoples. It has evolved after centuries of different societal and political change and is considered to be a blend amongst different cultures, with a specific focus and basis in foodstuffs found native to Arcerion. The cuisine consists mainly of foods and crops farmed in the Arcer Heartland, fished from the Songun and Malentine Seas, and grown on the Moorden coastline. In Foxhey for example, chowder and seafood stews are extremely popular dishes evolved from maritime and fishing traditions. | ||
The greatest impact to cuisine has been the influence of Indigenous cultures and native dishes to Arcer cuisine. While Occidental methods of subsistence farming as well as modern agricultural practices helped grow the amount of available foods to the Arcer population, frontier settlers often had to eat similar diets and dishes to the Indigenous peoples they were settling amongst, as their farms had not yet begun to yield. Baked corn and maize, wild rice, turkey, and syrup taffy were all staples of the frontier diet. Many of these dishes became popular and in modern Arcerion are served as "Early Arcer" dishes. At histroical fairs, it is also common to find Indigenous reenactors making these pre-settlement foods. | |||
Arcer peoples in the Heartland also have made barbecue, or grilled and smoked meats, a significant part of their diet due to the large cattle ranches and sheep farming. Barbecue ribs, pulled pork, and other 'cowboy' style dishes are cooked over an open coal fire or smoked in special smokehouses and sold. Barbecue and jerky continue to be one of the main aspects of Arcer cuisine that tourists enjoy the most, with barbecue products sold at major national holidays, carnivals, festivals, and sporting events. Barbecue dishes are often accompanied by potatoes and cabbage sides grown in Moorden or Norham, the two main crops grown there. | |||
Arcer culture also makes use of its wheat, barley, and rye crops in addition to other grain produce to distill multiple kinds of alcohol, the two most popular being gin and beer. [[Arcer Wine|Arcer wines]] also have played an outsized role in the Cronan alcohol market. Arcer gin has been a staple throughout its history, including usage in the [[Royal Arcerion Infantry Corps|Arcer military]]. | |||
