Orcs arenāt known for their great cuisine. Orcs prefer foods that are readily available (whatever can be had by raiding), and portable with little preparation, though they have a few racial delicacies. Toughs strips of lean meat, bones scavenged from recent kills, and dark coarse bread make up the bulk of common orc rations.Fire roasted rothe femur (marrow is a rare treat) [beef femur], Strips of dried meat (of unknown origin) [homemade goose jerky], foraged nuts, only edible by orcsā¦.nut cracker tusks [brazil nuts], coarse black bread, made with whatever grains can be pillaged [black sesame bread], Pungent peppers [Habanero peppers stuffed with smoked fish and olives].

The Duergar (gray dwarves) are the hated subterranean cousins of the surface dwelling Shield dwarves. Vast Duergar kingdoms exist in the Underdark beneath Torilās surface.

Ogre Holiday PlatterĀ (This is a MEAL/Party Fare and not a travel ration):
Ogres are well known for legendary feats of horrendous brutality, torture, and savagery. Itās no surprise they consider flayed skin, fingers, toes and ears (especially elf ears) as special delicacies. Ogres revel in the misery of others. Crushing the smaller racesā¦then eating their crispy bits is considered a true perverse joy, worthy of what passes for brutal ogre celebration. Paired alongside campfire roasted rabbit and coarse grain bread.
