Malentine cuisine is largely dependent upon the exact demographic thanks to the extreme divide between the impoverished natives, the somewhat prosperous Mestizos, and the wealthy socio-political elites. For most indigenous groups, the most common types of food consumed is a mixture of large variations of fish, crustaceans, large insects, and lamb. For the elites, the types of food that are typically associated with them are often meals that derive various elements from each of the three elite cultures; this has often led to instances wherein cornmeal "grits", which is a Qabóri cereal, are often served with bacon made from turkey meat, which is a colonial Ardmori delicacy, and "crab juice", a popular North Songunese beverage flavorant. The Mestizos, being born into a cultural crossroads, tend to have a sort of fusion cuisine between the foods eaten by the indigenous groups and foods eaten by the elites. The sole two commonalities between all three groups is the ubiquity of corn cooked in a variety of ways which is often served as a dinnertime side dish, and the usage of a number of local spices which is said to bring out the flavor in many Malentine meals. | Malentine cuisine is largely dependent upon the exact demographic thanks to the extreme divide between the impoverished natives, the somewhat prosperous Mestizos, and the wealthy socio-political elites.

===Education=== | |||
The Malentine education system since independence in 1987 is largely based upon the Arcer education system which itself is based upon the standard Occidental K-12 school progression system. All schools are organized and administered by the governments of their home confederated republics, with the national government being ultimately in charge of regulating the school system through its Confederate Department of Education. However, there exists no mandates nor sweeping pieces of legislation that are designed to standardize the school curriculum nationwide, thus leading to each of the confederated republics having determined their own curriculums, with situations arising whenever a family from one confederation republic moves into another confederated republic only to discover that the schools in their new home may very well be teaching dissections in primary school and not in secondary school like in their confederated republic of origin. Incidents like these have spurred the formation of an educational reform movement which currently call for a nationwide standardization of the school curriculum. | |||
