oooh , this thread im going to like :D

*Ahem*

Do'creoo i guess it would be best to call it pancakes, by other means

a delicacy in the wildlands for planetside Thukker tribemen, perfect in the mornings before the morning routine. its traditionally 1 cup of flour mixed with any sort of chopped fruit , eggs, milk and whisked until its a nice, fluffy batter, poured onto a hot pan and then cooked until both sides are nice and golden brown.

then you serve with a serving of sliced meats chopped into thin rectangular slices mixed with eggs and leafy vegtables (cant find the words for a particular kind) and lightly seasoned with pepper, to finish it off with a cup of cold juice on the side.

Do'creoo's origins are.... fairly odd, traveling the cluster, i've seen huge varieties of Do'creoo in various places. some are really thin, wrapped around a helping of fruits, others are extremely fluffy and glazed in syrup, but maybe it was a staple food for our ancestors, it was often considered a clue as to how humanity came to existence, despite the obvious cultural differences, most of our food were either deprived from the environments around us (for example the amarrian rockfish) or bore some similarities amongst each other.

I cannot remember what they are called since Napanii language continues to defy my attempts to learn its however it's apparently a reasonably well known example of Caldarian snack food. It's more or less a fried bread stick filled with an unidentified meaty sauce and served alongside a small shot of an acrid tasting liquor.

It's not what I would call fine dining but it tastes great, is cheap from those familiar looking stalls on the road side, and warms you up like nothing else.

Ohhhhhhhhh finally a thread that I can look forward to reading. Growing up with my friend Morgan, we had to learn to cook for ourselves if we wanted to eat at all. We started off by watching recorded reruns of Gallente cooking shows, then applied what we learned to the cheapest Caldari ingredients we could salvage. That being said, my particular expertise is somewhat limited to fried station streetfood and noodles seared in a dirty pan. Basically standard Caldari comfort food. Beef, chicken, goat, duck, water chestnuts... dog... If I could get my hands on it you bet your ass I could transform it into a killer bowl of ramen or yakisoba. Always with some sort of fried meat on a stick on the side.

Ugh... Damn it all, I think I'm actually starting to miss station street food. Morgan however was always far more refined with his cooking and eventually taught himself the art of preparing raw fish over cold sticky rice. He always said that when it comes to fresh sashimi, accept no super-market substitutes vice working with your own two hands. It's too bad he became a capsuleer, the boy probably could have opened up a restaurant if he wanted to. Perhaps one day I can convince him to do so, if only as a pet projects.

At more formal events, particularly business meetings, my experience falls short. I can only cook greasy garbage and Niina burns everything she touches, so more often than not we just settle with making an appetizer plate with Amarr cheeses and long-limb fish roe. It's easy enough to serve, and it satisfies my borderline fixation with fine caviar, meats, and cheeses. With a vegetable plate on the side of course and a large bottle of spiced wine.

Which leaves me with beverages I suppose. I enjoy a fine selection of teas of course, but I very much doubt anyone here would be thrilled to hear me ramble about the exact nuances of Caldari tea practices. That being said Niina might be a horrible chef, but she was a bar tender for several years and learned a few specialties of her own that I absolutely adore. Please don't expect me to recalled these proportions perfectly, but I will give it my best shot:

Atom Bomb:
1/2 oz Absinthe
1/2 oz Brandy

Amarr Victor:
1/4 oz Rose Water
2/3 Wild Hibiscus Syrup
Muddle with Mint and sugar
Fill with Champagne (or Gin)
Top with an unfolded rose bud


Wetgrave:
A flute of Champagne
A dash of Absinthe
1 Sugar Cube
Pour over the sugar cube into the Champagne until cloudy

77:
Half a glass of cheap spiced whiskey
Half a glass of ginger ale or lemon lime soda

Corrosion (or the 514):
1.5 oz gold rum
3/4 oz triple sec
6oz citrus energy drink
Place a maraschino cherry in the bottom of the glass
Hold on to your ass

Of course half the time I'm just drinking my whiskey straight anyway, but it seems like an entertaining art to experiement with. Besides, if you must choose a medium to express yourself it might as well be one that gets me drunk. That being said, if you have absolutely no regard for your own life I developed a special beverage of my own that will guarantee you're on your feet and ready for deployment.

I'm serious about this, I made this from a dark place. Enjoy at your own risk.


The Pixy Highball:
Pick an inexpensive glass
Cover your face with a wet rag before mixing
Fill your glass with 2 oz of Drop
Add 4 oz of Mindflood
Mix in a Nerve Stick until dissolved
Remove your rag and smash the glass across your face
Chase with a shot of Frentix

My father, Mac, has an Immortal only drink at his pub. He calls it the Death's Door.

First we start with a pint glass. Then you fill it with Beer, Whiskey, Absinthe, Tequila and Vodka. Then you mix in some Crash and Quafe. Then you line the rim of the glass with Crash Ultra. Consume entire concoction in one go and snort the remaining Crash Ultra off the rim.

If your clone survives after five minutes, you get free drinks until you drop dead. Well at least for the night.

The place is called Mac's Pub, be careful if you go there though, its not a good place for a nice boys.

Ah, some resulting from Viktor's travels across New Eden.

These were created by Viktor on his travels, taking inspiration from many foods and alcoholic beverages.

-Atu Prime-
This is basically cooked fish surrounded by rice, which in turn is surrounded by a salted Do'creoo.

A couple variations have popped up when Viktor shared it with locals, such as the rice being soaked in Champagne and covered in sugar. Another would be the inside of the Do'creoo being coated in a syrup instead of sparse salt.

This food was devised while Viktor passed through Kamela.

I might add a few more here.
