    Imam Bayildi -- Needs olive oil

    Imam Bayildi is a level 70 4 star food.

    Current Flavor text:
    Miniature Doman eggplants stuffed to bursting with juicy marinated vegetables─and enough peppers to knock a trained Fist of Rhalgr monk out cold.

    Ingredients: Doman Egglplants, Gyr Albanian Carrots, Dzaemel Tomatoes, Highland parseley, and cyclops onion

    İmam bayıldı is Turkish, meaning "the imam fainted", or the fainted priest. This is reflected with the monk knocked out cold, but they claim it's due to the peppers. The wording implies that the peppers are so spicy, they knock him out.

    Crimson Pepper flavor text:
    A pungent spice with just a hint of bitterness behind its bite.

    Crimson peppers are not spicy.

    The reality is, imam bayildi in real life is not spicy, but has a lot of olive oil. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%B0...%C4%B1ld%C4%B1

    There are different accounts to the origin of the name, but the ones that include "fainting" are due to the olive oil. Perhaps due to the cost of the oil, or due to the scarcity of the ingredient that makes the dish so delicious, olive oil is very important to the lore of the dish. This is not represented in the recipe.

    I petition you change the Gyr Albanian carrot with Olive Oil. There are no carrots in real imam bayildi. The cost factor can reflect the fact it would have been expensive to smuggle olive oil into occupied Ala Mhigo. This should also be reflected in the flavor text
