Just wanted to point out the following while replaying sages route
The anguis street cakes are very very spicy to which I wonder
- if that was an anguis choice,
- an homage to escell being a jerk,
- a portrayal meant to symbolize the anguis family drama with the soup/wine
-or if house anguis simply wasn't particularly popular
Meanwhile the varela cakes were likely sweet, given child sage over-ate them when the vendor left some for the street urchins
which makes me wonder if that's got to do with many ilephta urchins in particular (non-canon), given that varela is the only ilephtan high house in Porrima. Maybe Rime's family, or at least their reputation didn't suck that much, since we know nothing about them, except that they were rich and religious if I remember correctly
