4.0 Culinarian recipe predictions [SPECULATION]

Now that we know we'll be able to gather underwater (Sonic-style countdown, GO!), I'd be curious to know what recipes SE might have in mind to justify this new twist on DoH classes.

Personally, the first thing that came to mind upon hearing this is sushi. What grows at the bottom of the sea? Seaweed. What's seaweed generally used to make? Sushi. I can't be certain which varieties will be given or what stats SE would have in mind, but is seems like an idea that is a long time in coming.

Considering the culture theme will be partly based on China I expect some spicy foods.

Diet.

With so few crops, the Ala Mhigan diet is a rather stark affair. However, as a stop on the trade routes, the city-state has adopted some fare from the Near East and Ilsabard. The foreign influence is said to be particularly apparent in the usage of spices. For drinks, it is customary to brew medicinal teas, such as ones made by steeping the ground horns of beasts in boiling water.

So far the place looks more Indian than chinese. Of course that still works for spicy food.

I just want all the kinds of kebabs.

You could just as well expect potato and wheat-based (non-spicy) food if we're talking Bejing. Or, something with Duck, if we're talking Nanjing. Remember, there's no one "Chinese" cuisine, and the truly spicy stuff comes from the west, Chengdu area.

I can already see/taste the new seafood recipes.
