Cuisine of Gnomeregan

Gnomish cuisine is a highly experimental and unusual culinary experience. While the magi of Dalaran are well known for creating unorthodox but delicious dishes, even their sense of adventure pales before the often bizarre and sometimes downright insane products of a Gnomish engineer-chef. While they are also responsible for a number of more conventional offerings - especially sausages, sweets, and preserved foods - even these wholesome products are usually engineered rather than 'cooked'. Vitamin fortification, mineral additives, anti-caking agents, caking agents, gelatinizers, smootheners, unsmootheners, homogenizers, coagulants, colours and flavours all play a role in Gnomish cooking, and even the simple Gnomish sausage may contain unexpected surprises (above and beyond even the unexpected surprises that are, well, expected of sausage.)*Vitamin supplements.*Ice cream and frozen custard.*Gumdrops.*Gnomenbrau.*Liverwurst, courtesy of the RPG.*Beer bongs. God help them.*Delicious binary brew.*GNERDS. Gnomes like sweet things, apparently.==Growing International Market==One peculiar side-effect of the Gnomish fascination with technological cooking is the increasing demand for certain Gnomish foods throughout the Alliance, the Independent peoples, and even the Horde. Ice creams have proven to be an unceasingly popular delight, while military provisioners increasingly work to provide troops with nutritious foodstuffs. In the most recent example, the True Horde forces utilized vitamin supplements in their Kodo, Ready-to-Eat meal packs, stolen from Alliance shipping. Fortified breads and drinks are also in increasing demand in poorer communities as Gnomish notions of nutritional science begin to spread.
==Rationale and Disclaimer==*That is the sum total of what we know about Gnomish cuisine. There are the gnome bakers in Dalaran but they may not represent actual Gnomish food, to complicate it.*Gnomes apparently like to get far too drunk and then eat sweet things until they go into a diabetic coma. So, watch out for that. They'll vomit on your shoes if you go to a birthday party.*No, the beer bong thing isn't my idea. It's from the RPG, and while I shy away from that a wee bit much of the time, there just isn't enough information on gnomes for me to do so. So step on up and try the most fabulous gnomish invention of all time.*Once you have vitamins, nutritional science proper isn't far behind. The difference between real nutritional science and Gnomish nutritional science is a hefty dose of SCIENCE! and magic in equal measure. Miniaturized bite-size whole chickens, anyone? All the protein you'll need for days! The difference between Gnomish nutritional science and Goblin nutritional science lies mostly in the amount of potentially toxic and completely untested additives, volatility of those additives, and likelihood of food production plants causing mass oil spills.
