Mawun Cuisine

=== Mawun Cuisine ===
Due to the climate and the soil of the isles being poor for agriculture and lacking in forageable plants for much of the year, the traditional mawun diet consists mostly of meats. It is not uncommon for mawun to eat raw or frozen meat without any sort of preparation beforehand. Soup is a popular dish of the mawun, with meat or mushroom typically added. They are also quite fond of teas made from herbs native to the isles.
=== Food Sources ===
Hunted Meats: Mawun hunt sea mammals such as walrus, seal, and whale. Whale meat is able to feed a whole village for nearly a year from its meat, blubber and skin. Seal meat is also often the largest part of a mawun hunter's diet. Various native birds are hunted for their meat and eggs. Mawun food also relies heavily on saltwater and freshwater fish. Mawun meats are preserved through methods of freezing, salting, fermentation and smoking.
Cultivated Foods: Due to the harsh arctic conditions of the mushroom isles it is not possible to cultivate native plants. Instead mawun traditionally gather a select group of berries, herbs, tubers, mushrooms, roots and seaweed native to the region.
Spore Bison: Herds of spore bison are tended to by groups of mawun families who are a part of larger nomadic tribes. Herders follow the same migration paths and have a communal sense of the land. Spore bison are slaughtered for their meat which possesses large fungus growths often considered a delicacy. Mawun also consume spore bison milk and cheeses.
