Introduction

This is a working repository of Achaean origins for certain foods. It is probably going to be rigorously debated, but the basic minimum for an entry would be:

• A credible point of origin (i.e. Actar is known for its goats not sheep, it's more likely to produce a goat cheese as a regional specialty)
• A basic description of the flavour/smell/appearance/consistency when cooked/uncooked
• Appended note if there is a real world equivalent

Completed and approved entries will be entered into the guild's manuscript in Delos for IG reference.
