The Standard Recipe

The Tribe of the Vast Sea had a stew based on oysters, leeks, and basil. It was delicious.


The Nomads of the Three Valleys traded with the Tribe and adapted it to use pickled oysters, spinach, and basil. It was warming.


The Mountain People couldn't get oysters of any kind, so adapted it to use salted goat, silverbeet, and basil. It was fortifying.


One of the Tribe on a personal quest encountered this stew and, unaware of the origins, reworked it with smoked salmon, okra, and basil.


It was terrible, but he wrote the book so it became the standard.
