(no preference. while any modern human might find this strange, voryn does not, and it's because of his response after listening to sebastian's explanation of how he might cook a grand meal:) There is a finery to that process I have never experienced. The meals I ate were lavish compared to what would be placed on a commoner's table, but spartan compared to even these finger foods.

(in resdayn, one must eat what is on their plate or go hungry. riches can buy just about anything, but there is no stopping natural disturbances. diseases in their kwama mines, tempestuous weather, straying lava flows, ash—always ash, blanketing and choking the living but nourishing the dead by fertilization for future farmers. and what were they meant to import when trade had always been neutered, on foul terms with every race past the velothi mountains?

sebastian seems to come from a land of plenty, or a land where "plenty" can be easily bought. this is enviable, and voryn wonders what he might be introduced to here. he's even saved from having to ask if sebastian provides his services to others for pay, which the chimer lord smiles at.)

I honour your dedication to your art. Experienced chefs are rare if able to be found at all... I would try the lamb-and-vegetable dish, as it would very likely become my favourite. But I am otherwise satisfied by strong, tart flavours. Acidic things.

(and sweets—voryn is uncertain if he even likes sweets. they go unmentioned, though berry jams, if sour, are welcome on bread.)

As you have asked and it seems our worlds have ingredients that overlap, I will say that I am fond of seafood and crushed ash yam—a dense, fibrous root vegetable grown in the ashlands. These served with butter are a delicacy. We use many herbs to flavour things that otherwise have little going for them, however, so I am partial to having bold spices that may be overwhelming. Perhaps a combination of those things would create something unique.
