#crannogmen

" Long ago, the histories claim, the crannog-men were ruled by the Marsh Kings. Singers tell of them riding on lizard lions and using great frog spears like lances, but that is clearly fancy.

Were these Marsh Kings even truly kings, as we understand it?"- TWOIAF -The Crannogmen of The Neck

Moomin aka wild rice Using duckfat for cooking sometimes Duck meat in general Duck or rabbit confit** "Fishing" for brackish and fresh water crustaceans Smoking fish using peat Lizard lion sausage (might have snake, rabbit boar in it as well) A sort of a moomin dirty rice (which is basically cook up meat and veg then dump in already cooked rice think of it as like fried rice) If lizard lions meat is like gator meat: The tender meat is the tail, jaw, back strap, and flank The meat that needs beating etc is the whole neck, and the legs I was very little the last only time I had gator and yeah the old joke "it tastes like chicken" does apply but the texture is different can't say how just that it was different enough I did not want more. Also their fat is not good for cooking why idk just isn't.

**confit isn't just a fancy french menu item it's an old way of preserving meat in fat with sealed crockery and also a way of cooking salt cured meat into something tender

Howland Reed left his bog once to have some fun at a tourney and ended up killing the most skilled warrior of his time in the middle of a desert, just to return to said bog right after and not bother anyone for 16 years.
