Meal Time in Your Nation

Postby Themiclesia » Sat Nov 22, 2014 10:56 pm

In classical Themiclesia, there were four meals taken every day.

Levee: 4:00 a.m.
Spend about half an hour dressing; people with servants dress with servants, and those without help each other

Breakfast
    Time: 4:30~5:30
    Typical Menu: hashed, boiled, cooled oats and cereals; fermented rice-cake for the very wealthy or gluttonous
    Typical Drinks: water, boiled wine
    Company: because people get up at different times, the food is served in a common room, buffet-style, and people dine in silence as the sun rises

Tea
    Time: 8:30 ~ 9:30
    Typical Menu: porridge; salt or honey for the special occasion; dried fruits, pickled vegetable purée (imported from afar) for the affluent
    Typical Drinks: water, diluted wine
    Company: if at home, shared with family at individual tables; if at work, shared with colleagues on a common long table

Dinner
    Time: 12:30 ~ 14:00
    Typical Menu: porridge; dried fruits and spices are common occurrences (unlike at Tea where they are considered extravagance)
    Typical Drink: water
    Company: this is the last meal of the working day, so always shared with colleges if at work; if at home, shared with everyone at home

Supper
    Time: 18:00 ~ 20:00
    Typical Menu: baked cakes from wheat or barley flour, with minced fresh fruits as filling, boiled vegetables
    Typical Drink: water
    Company: usually taken with family because everyone is at home; the chatting flows; children typically skip this meal for playtime

Sleep: 21:00.

-----

Special meal after services at the ancestral shrine:
    Time: after service
    Typical Menu: the leftover dried meats (mostly whole filets & tenderloins) not burnt during the ceremony, sliced and served on a platter
    Typical Drink: the leftover wine
    Company: principals of the ceremony and relevant family members
    Note: scouring the meat is seen as poor etiquette -- meat is not a proper menu item for formal dining, but for the supplication of the dead!

Special meal on the equinoctium and solstices:
    Time: dawn
    Typical Menu: diced fresh and dried fruits, boiled fresh vegetables (no oats or staple!)
    Typical Drink: honey diluted with water, some diluted wine
    Company: the whole community

In the Holy Parhic Empire we have the traditional three meals. With most meals each individual is given rice or noodles with a wide array of shared side dishes. Of course there are also regular Western style dishes with much less emphasize on side dishes. Similar to America, however, breakfast tends to be devoted to often more wheat varieties of food.

Ragnarans oddly enough are not very fond of hot drinks; If it was any hot drink it would be a hot chocolate, which is a rare thing to want to have anyway.

Breakfast - 6:00 - 11:30
Common foods: Cereals, Bacon sandwich, Cheese on toast, Marmite or butter on toast/crumpets, assorted fruits; particularly lemons. Yes, actual lemons.
Common drinks: Orange or Apple juice, Other fruit juices

Lunch - 12:00 - 14:00
Common main courses: Assorted Sandwiches, Yoghurt's, Flavoured Noodles or Pasta, Smoked cheeses
Common deserts: Assorted chocolates, biscuits and/or small cakes.
Common drinks: Coke*, Juices, etc.

*Ragnaran coke is practically a rip off of the original one, its actually a bit cheaper and apparently tastes slightly stronger.

Dinner - 17:00-21:00
Common main courses: Involves plenty of grilled or cooked meat, particularly chicken, beef and venison as well as mushrooms and lots of green vegetables such as broccoli and peas. Things such as pasta and potatoes appear a lot, usually in some kind of pie or bake. Ragnaran cooking also makes use of flavoured sauces and strongly flavoured and thick gravy.
Common deserts: Cakes, Meringues, Ice creams, Very strong Ragnaran cheeses
Common drinks: Coke, Juices, Alcoholic drinks; usually beer, wine or cider[/quote]

Meals are consumed whenever the tribe feels it is safe to consume it. It usually consists of berries, small reptiles, small mammals, fish and water. Sometimes a tribe may come across a dead dinosaur, in which case they may stop to feed, or they may manage to kill one on their own and eat it. Meals are usually brief, as scavengers, carnivores and violent herbivores could pop up at any minute.
