I was contemplating a revamp of the meat drops for fish and animals for a wider range of cooking recipes. First, it would be fun to seperate the meat into certain types: Beef, Pork, Poultry and Venison (all deer and maybe dog?). Each would be easily cookable over the fire for standard roasted variations, but the different meat types would make a cooker have to seek the correct type of meat to fill each recipe. Beef for jerkey, pork bacon, venison spicy roasts, chicken noodle soup, etc. I think lamb is a seperate category for some reason, but we don't have lambs anyhow. It would be interesting to make the chickens harvestable somehow, perhaps by buying them from a farmer, or making them a neutral, independant faction that wouldn't enrage the guards.
Fish meat types and at least 2 recipes each for cooking would make the craft of fishing a bit more fun. Smoked salmon (salt, salmon, charcoal), fried catfish, sushis of all types, soups, or eat it raw as sashami. Carp is pretty good steamed with rice, ham and a sweet'n sour sauce. If the pearls chipped from the oyster rocks came with complimentary oysters, ah man... soup em up with creamy alfredo, fry em in a pan, use the mill to add some noodles and *stomach growls* I haven't eaten in awhile, hahah.
So Anyhow, here come a few recipes.
Eggs
----
Hardboiled eggs: 1 bucket, an egg, the oven. Great for a mobile snack
Eggs Sunny Side Up: 4 eggs, salt, butter
Breakfast in Bed: 3 eggs, salt, butter, orange juice, 2 pieces of bacon and 2 slices of toast (roasted wheat bread). Just like mum used to make on sick days!
Lumberjack Slam Omellette- 4 eggs, 1 hunk of cooked pork, 1 onion, 1 pepper, 2 salt and butter
Deviled eggs- 3 eggs, salt, milk, 2 peppers, 1 onion, 1 salt, protection from good cast in the making
Pork
----
Bacon- One hunk of pork yeilds 6 pieces... all one shot eating, but darn they're tastey!
Glazed ham- one hunk pork, 1 cup honey, 1 cup sugar, 2 peach juices (mixes witht he honey and sugar for the glaze)
Pork Tenderloin with Cranberry-Onion sauce- 1 hunk pork, 1 serving chicken broth (made in seperate recipe), one onion, 8 cranberries, 1 serving orange juice, 2 pieces of rosemary
Sweet and Sour Pork: 1 hunk pork meat, 2 salt, 2 pear or pineapple (both taste great), 1 onion, 2 servings cornmeal, 1 sugar, 1 filled bucket, 3 servings steamed rice, 1 honey
Spicy Porkchops: 1 hunk pork, 2 garlic cloves, 1 serving corn flour, 1 salt, 1 vial of almond oil
Beef:
-----
Beef and Mushroom Dijon: 1 hunk beef, 1 cream of mushroom soup (made in seprate recipe from water, milk, sugar, eggs and mushrooms), 1 onion, 1 full water flask, 6 black mushrooms, 1 clove garlic
Beef Stroganoff- 1 hunk beef, 1 filled flask, 1 onion, 1 corn flour, 3 salt, 4 egg noodles or steamed rice, lots of spices
Beef with Orange Flavor: 2 hunks beef, 2 corn flour, 4 oranges, 2 salt, 1 garlic clove, 1 pecan oil, 3 honey
Pepper Steak: 2 hunks beef, 3 corn flour, 2 peppers, 1 onion, 1 bottle wine, 2 salt, 4 black mushrooms, 1 serving beef broth (could be a broth for each meat with just a bucket of water, 3 salt and 2 onions)
These are the ones springing to mind so far. Much to Albert's delight, onions are a staple in a vast amount of popular recipes. If implimented, I have no doubt he would eat them raw, constantly.
I would have finished the list, but I just got incredibly hungry... *zoom to the $10 chinese buffet*
Feel free to add to the list of possible recipes, especially using the CNR components we have growing all over the place already. All those mushrooms and piggies and beehives make me look around and want to eat the world. Particularly fish recipes.
