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.

Something to remember, per Sarapis' note on forum post: "I also want to point out that this isn't black and white, even though approvals are by necessity black and white. There's a spectrum, and it's an immensely subtle and wide spectrum. There are no bright, clear, simple lines to be drawn and so it's completely inevitable, especially with something where we can't spend much time on it, that there'll be inconsistencies, both real and perceived. We work to minimize those of course but we'll never be able to get rid of them. It's just too broad a subject matter."

Cheeses

A list of modern cheeses and their Achaean equivalents.

Cheese Type Achaean Equivalent Description
Asiago TBA TBA
Blue cheese TBA TBA
Brie TBA TBA
Buffalo cheese aka Mozzarella Buffalo Cheese a semi-moist, semi-soft white cheese, typically from the milk of buffaloes of Sangre or Dardanic plains. Real world equivalent: Mozzarella.
Caboc TBA TBA
Cheddar Nimickan Cheese Borme uses this cheese in the recipes for the wares he sells, layering it with other ingredients, for example the plate of manaye, or grating it and sprinkling it atop a dish, such as in the potato bake.
Cheese curds TBA TBA
Chèvre Actarian Goat Cheese A white cheese typically known for its salty and slightly sour flavours and often pungent smell. Soft and hard varieties exist, with hard varieties taking on a typical yellowish cheese hue due to the formation of rind. On cooking, the cheese becomes more soft and pliable, or may take on a slightly molten consistency, but not to the point of runniness like other cheeses do. NOTE: May encompass any sort of goat's cheese, but typically all varieties of chèvre. Goat's milk may also be used as an alternative milk source for other types of cheeses, do adjust your recipe accordingly for such situations.
Colby TBA TBA
Colby Jack TBA TBA
Cottage cheese TBA TBA
Cream cheese TBA TBA
Farmer cheese TBA TBA
Feta TBA TBA
Goat cheese Dwarven Goat Cheese Due to the cold and mountainous terrain of Inbhir Ness and the Siroccian mountains, hard varieties of goat cheese are more prevalent among dwarven communities. The salty and tart flavours of dwarven goat cheese are augmented by the presence of their rind which adds a hint of powdery nuttiness.

Kasseri Lodi sheep's cheese The cheese Blaan gives to newbies who wish to enter the Black Warren is described as a ripe piece of sheep's cheese. Closer inspection reveals: Of exceptional quality and ripened so as to be tempting to even the most desensitised nose, this sliver of cheese is beginning to run.
