House Aquila Cuisine

Food and drink is an important part of Aquilan culture, known to incorporate influences from the many different cultures across Acheron Rho due to the cosmopolitan nature of the Imperial Legions, it was not until receiving Diomikato as their homeworld that Aquilan cuisine truely developed its own style. Modern Aquilan cuisine largely focuses on using native Diomikaten flora and fauna in their dishes, alongside general imports for more staple food stuffs.

## Culinary Staples

Barbecue is a quintessential part of Aquilan and local Diomikatan cuisine, outdoor cooking and parties are a big part of the Aquilan social scene. Aquilan feast days are observed without fail, the Feast of Mars, the Feast of the Lady, and the Reawakening of Phoenix Mons are just a few of the most important days on Diomikato. Noted for their spices and exceptional flavours, Diomikaten meat dishes are praised throughout the Empire and are widely regarded as the best barbecue in the sector.

If barbecue is the quintessential food, then wine is the quintessential drink. Made from grapes grown on Diomikato, Aquilan wine is famous for its quality as luxury product. Aquilan noble families often have their own vintage with some of the most popular vintages being those produced by the Aurikusu, Aelius, and Golden Vale vineyards.

## Traditional Ingredients

### Meats

 **Yellowstripe** | Yellowstripe Cervols are a staple source of meat for Aquilan cuisine and traditionally when hunted, all parts of the Yellowstripe are used. High in protein and low in calories, its meat is a popular export to the other system in Acheron Rho and can be eaten as steaks, tenderloin, roasts, sausages, jerky, and minced meat. Yellowstripe Cervol has a flavor reminiscent of beef, but is richer with a gamy note. Yellowstripe also tends to have a finer texture and is leaner than comparable cuts of beef; however, like beef, leaner cuts can be tougher as well.

### Fruits and Vegetables

 **Stonefruit** | Stonefruit are one of the largest berries in the sector and, as with all true berries, are entirely edible with a fleshy exterior and no interior pit. Stonefruit are often used in wines and desserts for their sweet flavor.

## Dishes

 **Phoenix Egg Supreme** | Considered one of the heartiest breakfasts for a legionnaire before a battle, Phoenix Egg Supreme is an omelette made from Phoenix  eggs, Yellowstripe sausage, and sliced salted olives before being placed within a thin wheat pancake, sprinkled with crushed Lava Fruit seeds and drizzled Petramel. The pancake is then folded so it is hand portable, and the juices are contained within. Legionnaires who are eating it on the go are advised to be careful not to get any on their uniform before the morning parade.

## Processed Foods

 **Legionnaire Ration Pack** |  Legionnaire Ration Packs were created for use within the Aquilian Legions in order for active duty soldiers to have a high in calorie, protein, and other nutrient meal that could be carried into the field. These rations provide three square meals of Grade-A A.C.R.E. meat and potatoes along with added gravy or Aquilian spices that are stored in separate sealed packages. These spices are used to invoke just enough memories of home to bolster a soldier in the field without distracting them with nostalgia. In addition, the ration packs contain a small jar of salted olives, a packet of boiled honey candies, and two bars of chocolate. These are added to ensure a soldier has access to simple sugars when they need a quick energy boost.
