This is what a typical Vhasshalan meal looks like: Bread, cheese, pickled vegetables, and (if you're well off) seasonal fruit. But if you're rich, the fruit is usually soaked in some sort of booze.
Bread - Traditional Vhasshalan bread is made from sweet pine with other various tree barks mixed in. It has no leveling agent so it's more like hard tack. It stores well though and a lot of northern remote villages still make them to keep during the cold months. But most prefer the human version of bread made with grains, despite it being more expensive. White bread is considered a status symbol and typically only the wealthy can afford it.
Cheese - As it's rather difficult for giants to milk cows or goats, all dairy products are acquired through trade with smaller folk. Fresh cheese (like farmers cheese or cottage cheese) is especially desirable for the wealthy as it shows they have access to copious amounts of fresh milk.
Pickles - Pickles are very common in Vhasshal and most families have their own special recipes and preferred types of vegetation to use. Cabbage, young river reeds, thorny ferns, and even sunflower heads.
Plums - Plums are the only fruit native to Vhasshal that giants actually cultivate and farm. Wild berries are too small for them to bother with and it's considered good land husbandry to leave them alone because they attract game animals like elk and boars.
