Cuisine of Lanborg
By Cuisine of Lanborg, the cuisine of the region of Hófasviði is meant, which historically was part of the Lanborg Empire.
Lanborgian cuisine is difficult to describe, as it includes a wide range of foods. A lot of them are made with marination, have a chilli-like taste or are sweet and fruity dishes. It is considered one of the richest cuisines of the world, as historically seen, Lanborg was a trading hub where people of many cultures came together just as came a wide variety of ingredients and the chefs that impressed the monarch would get a massive bonus.
Notable Foods
Heitare
Heitare are steamed peppers which are then cooked with meat. The meat is cooked for 12 hours, as historically, Kalkduians wanted to take revenge on Einar for the genocide he caused (see War of Dignity). As the heat doesn't transfer well through the pepper, the dish can stay warm for a long time and is served with cold sour cream.
It can be found in almost every Lanborgian restaurant and is a vital example of Lanborgian cuisine and to this day is a symbol of resistence against the Einar and the War of Dignity.
Melon foods
Melon-related foods are also a vital part of Lanborgian cuisine and identity, a whole square was erected for them too (see Melon Square). They come in many different varieties, including melon popsicles, golden melons, melon juice and various cocktails. They are best enjoyed during the warm summers of Lanborg on the Melon Square, which has a reputation for being the best spot for fresh melons in the city, as they were historically imported into this market.
Gúlás/Goulash
Lanborg is also known for its goulash, made of its regions peppers, beef and normal bell peppers. Depending on the variant, boiled potato or rice is added. As the Goulash is mostly liquid, a piece of toasted Lanborgian long bread is added, sometimes with sour cream. The dish is eaten with a spoon, two forks (if bread is added) and a knife (if potatoes are added).
It has been called out multiple times for being one of the tastiest dishes someone can try, as the intense flavour of the bell pepper broth goes well with the beef. They can be found in Lanborgian restaurants around the world, but are even more common in Lanborg. As Lanborgians enjoy alcohol, rarely a small amount of alcohol is added.
Make sure to ask your local restaurant waiter for more information regarding the alcohol content in your food
