During my many travels across the lands of Aldenard, I have seen many culinary concoctions, both of the delightful and dubious varieties. But only one truly makes my heart skip a beat when I smell it cooking in the fires of Bismarck, my namesake and home away from home: Maccheroni & Sil’dihic Cheese

To the fledgeling adventurer, such a blend of dairy, grain and spices may seem indulgent, but with the many tastes of the realm, this casserole brings to me a comfort seldom found elsewhere and the background of this dish even further fascinates me.

The pasta has been traditionally formed and dried in the fires of O'Ghomoro, a blend of the succulent eggs produced by Vylbrand' native puks; and the tubed maccheroni is painstakingly stretched, folded and cut to allow an effective medium for the casserole it will become.

The golden aroma and flavor, however, comes from an almost ancient cheese, which has a rich history stretching as far back as the enigmatic origins of the lost city of Sil'dih. This dairy curdled from youngest milk-producing aldgoats has a sharp flavour and an amber tint.

The final step would be to carefully blend these elements together with butter & milk, adding powdered mustard and pepper to taste, and to finally bake under a layer of crumbed wheat flour.

In my adventures, I have only learned of the extensive history of this fine dish from the Ul'dahn Syndicate... and not without first paying a steep bribe.



"During the 5th umbral era, there was a brief declaration of conflict between then Admiral Xaviere Wolffe of the Barracudas, and the Uldahn Sultanate. Realising that the Lallafel Sultan had particular tastes, Admiral Wolffe conscripted the finest Lominsan chefs, led by the great chef Bismarck, to band together and develop a peace offering, which was a blend of the western fields of Vylbrand, and traditional foods of Thanalan".

...and this maccheroni was the result.



And so, as I continue on my adventure, I shall leave you with this: Grand tastes come from every corner of Aldenard... but you must open your eyes...and your mouth, to experience it all!

...with prayers of survival in this dark era... I bid Adieu... until a new dawn arrives!
