  1. Okay, so I've been digging around a bit and I haven't found any recent posts about Rosharan food. If there is a post about it, apologies! I've always been interested in food and reading SA has made me curious about what everyone else imagines Alethi food is as they read about it. I know Brandon says that if he had to compare the Alethi to humans on earth, they would be a mix of the Polynesian and Middle Eastern/Asian races, so I've kind of always imagined Alethi food to be similar to Thai, Indian and Middle Eastern foods. Maybe even some Szechuan dishes to up the spice factor that is so present in the men's food? My focus is going to be Thai curry because I'm more familiar with Thai food than I am with the other too aside from Indian butter chicken and chicken korma... Just in case you aren't familiar with Thai curry: Green Curry: coconut milk and fresh green chillies, not necessarily sweeter than other Thai curries, it tends to be more pungent. Spiciest of the curries. Red Curry: made with dried red chilies. On the spicier end of the Thai curry spectrum. More savory than green curry Panang curry: a variant of red curry. Tends to be sweeter and more mild, nutty and thicker Massaman curry: influenced by Indian and Malasian cooking, most mild of all curries and tends to be on the sweeter side as well I didn't include all the varieties because there are soo many, but I think that's a decent sample size. Back to the food comparisons! Here are some excerpts from the books that describe Alethi "men's food": We see that men's food is typically meat kabobs, stews and curries and that they are spicy and full of peppers. I imagine that the men's food would include dishes akin to Thai green curry, Gaeng Pah Muu (jungle curry) and red curry, Indian Vindaloo, Phaal curry etc,. We also see a lot of flat bread type things that they use as vehicles to bring meat and vegetables to their mouths, similar to naan. As I mentioned earlier, I'm more familiar with Thai food than Indian and Middle Eastern food, so I'm sure I'm missing out on a whole bunch of dishes that could be compared/associated with men's food in the books. Now onto Alethi women's food: and this, So the women's food is little less Earth-like, but I imagine their food being more similar to Thai Panang (my personal favorite) and Massaman curries. They're both sweeter and typically more mild than other Thai curries are. Anyway, thoughts? Is it just me that thinks this obsessively about Alethi food and their Earth counterparts, or have others thought about this as well?
