Flavor Lore

# ENVIRONMENT

Produce shines in wine country cuisine, and dozens of small farms grow heirloom vegetables and fruits, from tomatoes, beans, and lettuces to berries, stone fruits, and, of course, grapes.

Peacocks are Boa Vista’s pigeon equivalent

Colugos are a common sight (this is what they look like):

Alaeis Organic - Boa Vistas largest organic producing farm, they own farmland that stretches for miles outside the city. Noone realizes that the owner is a druid who uses magic to amplify the growth and quality of their produce.

Everyday police presence in the city includes a substantial Mounted Police division that works in tandem with Boa Vista’s Police Helicopters

# SPACE

-Overall we have space travel (to the closest sister planet, not beyond), an international space program and a lunar base.

-The total number of moons visible at night is three, any other astronomical bodies are not covered by this. The Third Moon is shattered in half.

-The names of the moons are Lunaris, Ferros, and Mana. Ferros is the shattered one.

-The moon base is on the shattered moon, the core still glows at night, and Orthodox astrologians think it's the eye of a dead god.

-No technology-obstructing Kessler Syndrome, but shooting star showers are very common.

-Only one Sun

- Our space Technology is basically the same as real world, but we got super into moon exploration for obvious reasons

- Boa Vista’s night sky has the lovely 12 signs of the Zodiac (crazy coincidence!). In addition to those, it also has some more unique constellations presented below:

# FOOD AND DRINK

Major Local Soft Drink: Vista-Vita (rivalry with Jerrido’s)

Comes in the following flavors:

-Goodberry Burst

-Blue Riptide (Blue Raspberry)

-Pineapple Punch

-Tropical Wave

-BV Cola

-Dr Boa

Jerrido’s Pear Soda. BV’s most iconic drink. 50 cents a can for the past 80 years. Stuff has gotten BV through every kind of age. Stuff’s a legend, and Jerrido rests up there in heaven with the BV greats I reckon. Any time they try and change the formula people riot in the streets. The jerrido factory has to have 24 hr police protection anytime they run through shortages of the stuff. (rivalry with Vista-Vita)

Local Beer: Breadwater Beer

"Party Popper", a 52 oz. 50/50 blend of malt alcohol and caffeine that promises to be the one and only drink you'll need to have fun from 5 pm to 4 am.

Chip Brands:

Spud Shards! Crack into Rest and Relaxation. Now in Taijin and Mango!

P.G. Chester Wimbledon’s Fresh Sarakan Coffee! Rich and bold profiles. Product Purveyed through P.M.T.C and its subsidiaries

They say it’s the world’s finest coffee, but we all know this stuff is so sifted down by the time it gets here it ain’t premium shit anymore. Nielsbath and the PMTC get the good stuff first and we get the rest. Still, its coffee. So you drink it.

Delicacy of the Old World! Azadaserian Currant Flavoured Vodka, finest Zebrowkan product.

Now this stuff is straight foul. It tastes great of course. But that’s when you realize this stuff is 80 proof. And before you know it you’re so blasted you didn’t realize you drank two bottles of vodka. Stuff goes down so smooth it doesn’t even need a mixer. Currant Vodka’s mighty deceptive

Almeirosan Cherry Wine, smuggled Imported Straight from Almeirosa to Boa Vista. First Quality Wine, no additional sweeteners added.

We all know nobody can get their hands on the real stuff. Real Almeirosan cherry wine always goes to the rich first (and the nielsbathians.) plus it doesn't help that Almeirosa has an embargo on BV. So the only way to get their wine is through good ole fashion bootlegging. Course that usually means we get crap stuff. They call it cherry wine but it’s just cherry hooch with barrels of sweetener dumped on top.

Nielsbathian Peach Brandy. It’s the cheapest alcohol you can get, mostly because its so abundant. Great for those 2 dollar drinks, terrible feeling in the morning.

Fah Karak - orcish for fresh water. A brand of those cheap ass 40 oz.

Voynazhin, a less common product. They say it looks, smells, and tastes like motor oil. Moonshine, brought over from East Zebrowka. I think it means War Gin. But who the hell knows, it gets you drunk fast.

Trenell’s Rum, product of the federation. Who would have thought that a country situated with some of the finest coastlines in all the world would have a monopoly on the world’s sugar. I guess it makes sense. But I can never get the rum to taste like those daiquiris they sell in Ivoth.

Pixie Biscuits ™️ , a brand of wafer cookies that are so high in sugar, that it's been advised that parents closely monitor how much their kids can get

Lil' Devil's Snacks & Foodstuffs featuring:

- Vista Sky Cakes (Vanilla Frosted cupcakes)

- Chocolate Snaps (Chocolate dipped cookies with crunch)

- Funni Bunnies (Flavored Marshmallows in the shape of bunnies)

And for hungry Devil's on the go:

- A variety of frozen dinners

Orevi's yard long jerky sticks, featuring a caricature of a minotaur in a farmers hat, the caricature faces controversy for being offensive, but nothing's been done about it... the jerky's good though

Voltan Blood Brew. Don’t ask me what this shit is, I have no idea. They say it’s 150% alcohol by volume. They also say it’s got real human blood in it. All I know is it’s a fighting drink. And its banned as an illicit substance. Most of the folks claiming to sell blood brew are just selling watermelon flavoured vodka. Real blood brew is something different and I hope I never get the real stuff.

discount moonshine mixed with pig blood

Texcaxochi Hooch: Equivalent to moonshine

There are way too many dwarven IPA's to possibly name them all, there a couple of bars catered specifically to them

Ed’s, boa vista’s only international contribution to the food scene. What started as a small blue food stall outside the meat packing plants in lower BV became one of the fastest growing chains of restaurants in the world. Specializing in the unique cuisine of Boa Vista adapted to be served quickly. You’d have a hard time finding anyone who doesn’t know Ed’s.

Desmona's Vineyard, a Wine brand that's made locally from the fruits grown in the vineyard by the city

Shoya™️©️, a signature fruit of Ivoth's House Grauwall. Some are all uppity that they went and made their own fruit, but really it's just like someone combined an orange and a watermelon. No, I won't elaborate on what that means. Copyright's real strong on this one, hear some guy got killed for trying to grow them after swiping some seeds. 'Course, the plant's totally sterile. Gotta license 'em from the House every season, who loves their cut of the profits.

Citrus fruits, melons, and berries are abundant here and there are several trees and bushes throughout the city where people really can just pick stuff and eat it

Questionable if you should considering it's subject to the public and anything could be on those fruits but more power to you if you wanna eat em

BV has some of the best, high-quality fish in the world

Goat Cheese and Milk is highly available

Boa Vista is really into vegan/vegetarian iterations of food just out of circumstance

Rainforest Cafe is a themed restaurant with animal golems/animatronics, yes this is exactly what you think this is

Local specialties:

A wine-infused seafood gumbo served in a hollowed out king crab's shell

Paella

Clam Chowder
