A luxurious dinner where everyone received a portion of meat greatly satisfied the villagers' deep-seated cravings.
Even though the temperature silently dropped toward freezing as evening fell, filling the air with a damp chill, the fiery excitement of the banquet kept everyone warm. Steam practically rolled off their bodies as they chatted and joked, completely oblivious to the cold.
Once everyone took their seats, the dishes arrived in an endless stream.
There were crispy yet chewy baked flatbreads. Beef and potato stew exuding a rich meaty aroma heavily spiced with black pepper. Blistered peppers marinated in white liquor, offering a spicy kick with a hint of sweet and sour. And finally, the garlic sprouts they had cultivated since their time on the ship had grown enough to harvest!
Paired with a few pickled side dishes, the assorted meals assaulted their senses with an overwhelmingly appetizing scent.
