Westgate Food and Culture

Food and Drink
Waterdeep food and drink is relatively plain, favouring simple staples, e.g. bread, meat and beer.
For seasoning salt, for sweet things, honey.
Westgate, being as it is, in the middle of Ferune has a much more diverse range of food and drink.
Food is usually spicey and peppery. The bread is commonly in bagette form than the usual round loaf
of Waterdeep. The most common meat is pork, beef is rarely seen. Rabbit is eaten more commonly than
chicken.
Westgate has many rice dishes, such as piella. Rice dishes are often wrapped into flatbreads and
deep fat fried. A common food sold by street vendors in Westgate is a 'Bunny in a Blanket'.
This is a chimichanga with rice, beans and rabbit meat.
Poor people eat flatbreads and rice (often in porridge form) and for meat eat rabbit or even rat.
Rich people eat 'long breads', flavoured and coloured rice, pork and (imported) beef. Usually prepared
in spicey forms
Westgate mainly drinks red wine. Beer is rare and usually imported. Some local dwarves brew their own
beer called 'Badger Fantastic' but is is pricey.
Poor people drink local rot gut red wine (often fortified into port) while rich people drink aged red
wine and sweet sherry.
Everyone in Westgate loves the sweet fortified wine imported from the north known as 'Mederina'.
(Most people think there is a place of this name up north somewhere, but in actual fact this was the name
of the first merchant to bring it to the city. Any palatable imported fortified wine could be called
Mederina.)
It's rather pricey though.
Mostly everyone in the pub drinks the local brew called 'Fastbuck'. It is a cheap, sweet fortified
wine. It is watered to taste.
Local beer is available, but compared to Waterdeep its goat piss.
