Subject: A few notes on cooking designs

Greetings, crafters!

While it would be impossible for me to update you on every little change and revision, you all are very aware that crafting standards evolve, and things that are once acceptable may not be now. Due to recent chatter I overheard on this clan, I have decided to make a short post.

Things like 'mozzarella' cheese - you can describe cheese made from the milk of a buffalo! 'Alfredo' sauce - use cream/cheese/etc sauce. Describe the shape of a pasta, not the OOC name (the name linguini comes from a region in Italy that is not one we can access here so is therefore insane, but you can be creative in describing the shape of the pasta in question). Yes, they were approved before. Now, standards are higher. If you ever have a question, simply ask - though do know constant arguing and nitpicking may have the effect of me becoming tighter with my decisions.

Most items with obviously insane origins can be easily described with a bit of creativity - I have seen many of you do it! Use other crafters as a resource for this if needed.

While some may feel I am trying to make your life miserable, I assure you I am trying to uphold standards so that you all can have very deliciously-described food to create and choose from!

Kindly,
Amarisse, Secretary of the Crafting Guild

As per the above post and a subsequent discussion on UUC, and UUC news #339, a list of "Achaeanised" food stuffs and existing denizen food products are to be compiled for the necessary changes and references for future crafting purposes.

An alphabetised list of denizens (and other sources) whose foods need to conform to the new crafting standards:

• In the Actar_Valley, a small and cosy store sells cheese121148, "a chunk of cheddar" cheese described as: Yellow and hard, this chunk of cheese looks only semi-appetising. Its crumbly character indicates that it is probably a bit too dried-out for this type of cheese.

Suggestion - Actar goat cheese (the Achaean equivalent to Agios Isidoros, a hard yellow goat cheese)

• Artefact wedge of Shamtotan cheddar

Suggestion - a wedge of Shamtotan cheese.

• Artefact horn of plenty produces "a wheel of smoked cheddar"

Suggestion - a wheel of smoked cheese
