10000 Islands Wintreath Barbeque!

[Markanite]

Visitors from Wintreath are on the way!

So in advance of their arrival I thought we could start up the old XKI barbeques!



What would you bring to a snow barbeque?

Lets welcome our friends from Wintreath and make them feel at home!

[Wintermoot]

Heyyyyy! I'm glad to see a barbecue, cause nothing famishes me like nuclear war!

What's cookin'?

[Alkasia]

Ooh, nothing like a wintry barbecue to warm the spirits. That along with some hot cocoa and I'll be set.

[Baden-Wuerttemberg]

Grilling in winter means roast apples.

[Pogglind]

Any steak on the barbie?

One can only hope. A barbecue isn't complete without a nice steak or two.

[Wintermoot]

You know what would really be good right now? Some hot apple cider. ^-^

Today's one of those cool autumn-like days where I live offline, and I've found myself wishing I had some...

[Pogglind]

Never heard of that before. I'll have to have a hunt around where I'm at and have a gander.

[Deleted]

*passes out some warm spiced apple cider*

[Wintermoot]

Wintermoot nurses the cup in his hands, sipping at the warm beverage.

Ah, that's good stuff. ^-^

You've never heard of apple cider, Elbbsas? Oh, child.

Que pasa, amigos? Hope the barbecue is as good as it is here in Texas.

Wikipedia suggests that apple cider is rare outside of North America, and typically only ever refers to the alcoholic drink instead. A shame, the stuff is amazing...

I've actually never really had good American barbecue before. Korean barbecue and Chinese barbecue, tons of times, but those two things are completely different (both from each other hand the Western, and American in particular, conception of "barbecue").

[Markanite]

Make yourselves at home Wintermoot, Pogglind, Geramundo and taulover!

I've never had Korean or Chinese barbecue taulover!

That really is a shame. It's the absolute peak of autumn beverages. It's even better when you make it yourself.

I'm particularly fond of Virginia and North Carolina BBQ but I may be biased based on my own location. I believe I've had Chinese barbecue and I will say it is good, albeit different.

[Wintermoot]

You know, since I've gotten into e-sports I hear about Korean BBQ almost every day, but I've never had it...as far as I can tell there isn't even a place around where I live that does it. It seems all the rage though.

[Baden-Wuerttemberg]

Asturias in Spain is very proud of their cider, they even have a cider museum.

What are Chinese and Korean BBQ specialities?

As you can see, quite good, but in their own ways.

I've heard of it now. Google seemed to think I wanted to know more about Apple Cider Vinegar, but I got there.


I don't think there's a major difference between American Barbies and NZ's. Steaks, sausages, onions, snapper, Potatoes, and hundreds of kids screaming at the top of their lungs. ...Naturally the last items aren't put on the barbie itself. =P
Still, Chinese and Korean are top notch and those pictures are making me miss it. 

[taulover]

A shame Laurentus isn't around right now... last time we talked about BBQ, he brought up Braai, and Boerewors, and Braai Boerewors.

I miss Laurentus. D:

[taulover]

We need to make him (and Colby) Paragons sometime soon.

All three of us (and Aragonn) joined NS—first Aura Hyperia, then New Hyperion, then Wintreath—around the same time. A shame they're no longer around (at least, not much).

Now apple cider vinegar has a lot of good health applications...it's a good thing to have around, too.

Apparently:

Braai: South African version of grill/barbecue
Boerewors: South African sausage delicacy, typically braaied

Is it winter always in Wintreath? Is it on a planet without seasons?
Or do you have change between long and short days, but are too far North or South on our planet to ever thaw?

Time for a row of ice and fire cocktails!

[Wintermoot]

Most of Wintreath is far enough to the north to never thaw out, thus eternal winter. We do have some southern portions that are more temperate though. In fact, we had our Summersend Festival this year at a lovely beach cove and the weather was warm...not too hot, just comfortable to be out in. And in a few months, it'll freeze over and it could be made into a skating rank.

Though now that I really think about it, I'm tempted to change our lore to be a planet far enough from the sun to always be winter...I guess something to discuss in the region.
