Heyo. Zed here. So I had this thought that I’d start doing a series of posts about making real life versions of food from video games. This sounds like fun. I tried to figure out what game I should do first. I thought maybe Horizon Zero Dawn. Then I realized there isn’t food in that game. I did some digging and the health potions are made out of meat. From their description they’re made of a broth of animal ingredients that restores health. Cool. That sounds like a good place to start. Soup.
Then it got weird. Like, real weird. Like this thing doesn’t understand what meat is. The ingredients for the health potions are different ratios of bony meat, rich meat and fatty meat. Dude. Man. Dude. Man. You make broth out of bones. Only one of those meats has bones. Man. No.
Also you mostly get meat from hunting foxes. Really, again, not good. Foxes are apex predators. They’re not edible. And sometimes you get an item from one called a fox bone. They can be traded to one person halfway across the map from where most of the wildlife spawns for one specific item you don’t need. Apparently only some foxes have bones. Good to know. These people clearly did well in biology 101. Thanks. Not doing it. I need soup. Back later with soup.

Hello. C J here. I've got four new recipes for everyone here. We have everything from Chinese chicken to homemade hot apple cider. Enjoy. The Emperor’s Potatoes Here we have the first food item I ever finished designing for Food of the World – Carthia. I tried three combinations of traditional Asian ingredients and pasta under the assumption that I was doing Italian-Chinese food for the book. I could not for the life of me get any of them to be exciting. They were fine. I don’t eat fine. I got bored of the pasta thing and then thought to myself, ‘what happens if I swap the pasta for another starch? What about a potato?’ It worked. Really well. It worked so well I named them The Emperor’s Potatoes. They’re mashed potatoes and I left the skins on because I like vitamins and then that got me thinking about the traditional medicinal food of Ancient China, ginger. Could I put ginger in a potato dish and have it work? Yes. I can. That surprised me. Be warned, these are almost dangerousl...
