Cuisine of Nismiram

The cuisine of Nismiram is easily separated into two distinct forms. Northern Nismiram has a much more restricted range of foodstuffs and fuels, and is notably less diverse than its southern counterpart.

Northern Nismiram

Fuel Source
The main source of fuel is moss from peat bogs, as well as brush from shrubs and small trees. Fish oil is sometimes used as a limited fuel source in costal areas.

Cooking Equipment
Pottery vessels are most commonly used in cooking, with a significant amount of metal and glassware being brought into the region through trade.

Food Preservation
Foods are commonly preserved through drying, with coastal areas using salting as well.

Cooking Method
Foods are typically cooked by stir-frying, pan frying, or occasionally boiling. Meats and vegetables are typically cut into thin portions to allow for faster cooking.

Southern Nismiram

Fuel Source
The main source of fuel is hardwood, especially from the lila tree. The fiberous outer bark of the lila is particularly suited for use as kindling.

Cooking Equipment
Pottery, metal pots and knives, and glass bottles and jars are all used extensively.

Food Preservation
Foods are commonly preserved through salting or pickling. Salt is obtained through trade from coastal regions or from the continent to the south.

Cooking Method
Foods are typically cooked through pan frying, roasting, boiling, or baking. Deep frying is occasionally used in times where there is a sufficient supply of fat.
