Many visitors to our fine city have asked me about
some of our unique ingredients, types of foods, and
the delicacies we serve here in Muspar'i. It was
from this questioning that I wrote this guide, to
explain about some of our delicious foods.

I should also mention that most Musparan foods are
either very hot or very sweet -- these are the tastes
we most enjoy. The natives also prefer (though we
are not limited to) soft foods. In this blistering
desert, there is more than enough *crunch* from sand
getting into everything.

'''Hhyssk'et Berry '''

Hhyssk'et is a nut-like berry. Its name means
"bitter fire," and this fruit is aptly named indeed.
The hhyssk'et grows on a thorny ground cover of the
same name. Injury from the thorns produces an
instant "chill-numbing" like effect that lasts for a
few seconds before a burning sensation erupts at the
site. Imagine a single nerve ending on fire, then
magnify that by all the nerve endings around the
injury site. It is, as I am sure you are now
imagining, quite painful. The 'seeds' go from a
leathery shell to rock-hard as they become ripe -- it
is similar to a coconut shell. This protects the
hhyssk'et berries from the yeehar, as those lumbering
beasts are known to have quite the sweet tooth. The
berry is about the size of a plum. The shells are
carefully peeled open to obtain the thin membrane
that lines the inside. The fiery hot membrane is
then carefully removed to maintain its shape for
stuffing with a highly sweetened fruit and meat
mixture. The choice membranes are colored from a
bright red to a deep burgundy.

'''Hhyssk'et Juice '''

The hhyssk'et juice is just the opposite of the
membrane and is very sweet when the seed is fully
ripened. It is said to often be an ingredient for
making poisons palatable. The clear juice appears
inside after the membrane "dies off" and become a
deep, glistening onyx-colored lining on the inside of
the shell. Only the texture of the exterior shell
reveals the inner contents. When the shell is
leather-like, there is a pepper membrane, and when it
is rock hard, contained within is sweet juice.

'''Hhr'pao Bread '''

Hhr'pao is a flat bread. The dough is formed by hand
in a flat circle about 6" diameter, then placed on a
flat rock to bake all day in the sun. This served as
the traditional bread for the nomadic tribes, as its
recipe was handed down from mother to daughter. With
the introduction of civilization, ornate mosaic tiles
were created to be used for the same purpose in the
more influential homes so that, when not in use, they
are aesthetically pleasing to the eye and blend with
the home's decor.

'''Iroepi Root '''

Iroepi is a crisp root vegetable, shaped like a
turnip, and containing a very spicy sweet taste. It
is very durable, and requires special treatment to
make it softer and more edible, where it is used as a
flavor enhancer to almost every dish. Because it is
so sturdy, though, the root grows virtually
everywhere in Velaka, making it a staple part of
S'Kra meals.

'''Three Brothers Stew '''

The three brothers stew is a popular dish. The stew
is tied into popular folklore, relating to the
legends of the three brothers and the maiden that
formed S'Kra civilization -- Zaarin, Mhalush,
Dhrakhh, and Norayaz. It is made by a mixture of
three different types of meats, each meat
representing a different brother. After that is done,
the par'i dumplings are made and added, these
representing the Maiden of Peri'el, Norayaz.

'''Sand Spiders '''

The sand spiders are an infestation in Velaka,
appearing everywhere (though they particularly prefer
narrow, sun-blocked gorges). This would be a great
annoyance, but fortunately, we've found them to be
quite tasty, when prepared well. Their meat makes
good cakes. Their hearts, their spinnerets, and
their legs all make good dishes also.

'''Yeehar '''

Yeehar meat is an important part of the city's
cuisine, much to the dismay of the Sand Elves.
They've repeatedly attempted to get us to stop
poaching the beasts, but the yeehar meat is of such
high quality taste (though it is a bit too muscular),
and their livers make excellent side dishes and
alchemical ingredients.
