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:
This is a working repository of Achaean origins for certain foods. A good rule of thumb is to ask yourself: ''Is this a brand or some other type of proper noun in real life?'' If the answer is yes, then it's probably not suited for the Achaean environment and you're better off finding an in-character equivalent.


This list is probably going to be rigorously debated, but foods listed on this wiki page should have:
*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 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
*A basic description of the flavour/smell/appearance/consistency when cooked/uncooked
*Appended note if there is a real world equivalent
*A note if there is a real world equivalent

Something to remember, per [[Sarapis]]' note on [http://forums.achaea.com/discussion/comment/291082/#Comment_291082/a 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 minimise those of course but we'll never be able to get rid of them. It's just too broad a subject matter."
