A Nordic seafood feast

Nord cuisine reflects the harsh climate and rugged landscape that has shaped their warrior culture. Farming is difficult, but wild game supplies a good deal of their nutrition. These meats are preserved through smoking, drying, pickling, or salting. Fish are also a prominent feature in Nord cooking, such as the salmon endemic to the White River. The Nords are reputed for their great, warm, hearty feasts. Large roasts of mammoth, horker, and assorted game meats are cooked over a spit in the center of the hall, while rustic desserts made with juniper or snowberries are baked in cob ovens. The fruits available in Skyrim's scattered bushes have also made their way into the mead that is much-loved by this rugged race, which has developed a reputation abroad for being sweet and strong.

The Nords use a few specialty tools in cooking. The blubber masher possesses a fine mesh made of tightly woven steel wires. It is used to break up thick sea mammal blubber for cooking.

Baked Goods

Bread is common in Skyrim. Rye is the traditional Nord flour.

Name	Description	Image
Braided Bread	Often reserved for special occasions, this hand-braided bread is made in the heart of midwinter, when stores are running low and better weather is a dream for another month. It makes use of some preciously guarded ingredients with the inclusion of dried fruit, nuts, and spices. All in all, it makes a special loaf that promises better days to come, while celebrating the harvest of the previous year. It pairs well with fresh butter and jam.
Cheese Scones	Often considered a breakfast item, their versatility also grants them a spot in meals that occur later in the day. Cheese scones are baked with all kinds of cheese: eidar and mammoth are popular in Skyrim, but more adventurous types might experiment with Dark Elven scuttle. Scones are flaky, and baked in an oven. Cheese scones pair well with fresh butter or pea soup.
Crab Cakes	Crab cakes are made from crab meat.
Garlic Bread	Garlic Bread is bread that has been cooked with butter and garlic. It is often paired with soup.
Lavender and Honey Bread	A popular bread in Whiterun, where lavender grows wild beehives are kept to provide the meaderies with honey for their brews. Honey and lavender are a natural pairing that is also used for mead.
Meadow Rye Bread	Bread made of rye dough that makes for an excellent companion to soup. It is especially good with creamy soups. Loaves of rye bread are common in tavern kitchens, which seek out products that can be baked quickly to satisfy more customers.
Nut and Seed Loaf	The components for this loaf are gathered by foraging. It can be made with any seed or nut available, but in Skyrim, it's commonly made with things like ironwood nuts and seeds from the numerous wildflowers that are native to the region.
Potato Bread	Potato Bread supplements wheat with potato in order to stretch out the supply of flour in Skyrim, as wheat is in high demand. Commonly topped with cream cheese, smoked salmon, or fresh butter.
Rye Crisps	Thin and flavorful seedy rye crackers that pair quite well with a little cream cheese and smoked fish. Often eaten by fishermen throughout the workday.

Cheeses

Name	Description	Image
Ald Umber	Ald Umber is a cheese produced in Whiterun, whey from curd-pressings is collected and, rather than being discarded, it is combined with cream. This mixture is boiled in a wide, shallow pot over the course of many hours. The liquid becomes solid over time, and, in doing so, it adopts a pale brown color and caramel-like aroma, hence the name "umber."
Barrowost	Barrowost or commonly, barrow-cheese, much resembles the common eidar cheese found throughout the holds of Skyrim. Whereas eidar cheese is aged in cellars or caverns, however, barrowost is exclusively aged in Nordic barrows. Be it from the stagnant air, the endlessly sweating stone, or the magic within the barrow walls, the cheese gains an intense earthy sweetness, punctuated with sharp notes. It is one of Falkreath's most reputed cheeses. Some citizens of Falkreath follow an ancient Nord tradition of "grave curd." According to the practice, a fresh farmer's cheese is interred atop a loved one's coffin. Every year, on the anniversary of the departed's death, the grave curd is exhumed and a fifth of it is consumed by the bereaved.
Bjenost	Bjenost is a cheese eaten almost exclusively by the people of the Pale, who do so to mark the end of winter and the return of spring. Bjenost almost certainly originated among the poor of the hold, though now high and low tables alike enjoy this delicacy. Rinds and crumbs of cheeses that were consumed over the course of the long, dark winter, are then soaked in a tun of ale, which is all stuffed inside the intestines of a slaughtered pig. The bjenost is then hung to dry, to be taken down only at the High Spring Fest. It is sliced into golden disks, said to resemble the sun in springtime.
Eidar	Eidar is a type of cheese eaten by the Nords alongside hearty spit-roasted meats. It has a rich, earthy flavor and creamy texture that are quite conducive to sauces. It is produced by being aged underground and inoculated with the spores of fungus. One notable type of Eidar is Solitude Eidar.
Fondue	Melted cheese, eaten with bread.
Ghostflesh	Ghostflesh is a cheese produced in Winterhold, where both cow and goat's milk are in short supply. What little is at hand is made into a fresh, soft farmer's cheese. The elderly and the children of the hold, too young to brave the waters of the Sea of Ghosts, spend the day collecting seaweed, which they dry for several weeks. The simple farmer's cheese is smoked over a pile of burning seaweed, imbuing it with an aroma of the sea. It is then baked, being wrapped in a pastry that is composed of flour and horker suet. This permits the brave fisherfolk to eat while working the sea, where often they can only spare one hand at a time. When freshly baked, the molten innards of these dumplings steam and crackle, while the crust remains flaky and light.
Goat Cheese	Goat cheese is produced from goat's milk by the Nords.
Greenedge	Greenedge is a festive cheese of Hjaalmarch. The name of the cheese, derived from the "baskets" of rushes plucked from nearby bogs and woven together, speaks to both its visual appeal and the process of its creation. The cheese is brined and pressed within these baskets, with the latter process imbuing the rind of the normally cream-colored cheese with a verdant hue. The consumption of Greenedge, customarily served at the end of feasts, is something of a spectacle. Young hunters make a game of holding the rush-encased cheese over a flaming torch until its casing burns away and the cheese transforms into a near-molten state. Observers laud veterans of this ordeal for the showmanship they add to this feat, dancing the highly combustible cheese along the torch flame without pausing too long, lest the cheese blacken or their fingers burn. Thus prepared, they flip the hot cheese onto a table and guests immediately plunge bread—or, occasionally, sliced apples—into the melted greenedge. Children find particular joy in the activity, for at this point the cheese's secret contents are revealed—dried fruits and berries, and in wealthier households a single amber plum. The lucky eater that spears the plum before all others is named king of the feast.
Mammoth Cheese	Mammoth Cheese is not produced by Nords and is taken from the camps of giants. It is sometimes found on the tables of Nords and used in Nordic recipes.
Riftwash	Riftwash is a goat cheese with a glassy, violet-black exterior, which belies a pallid and crumbly core. It is pressed to remove much of the water within the cheese, producing a dry cheese, the cheese is washed several times in Riften's famous blackberry mead before being shrouded in wax which has been dyed with blackberry must, a by-product of the city's burgeoning meadworks.
Solitude Eidar	Solitude Eidar is an extremely valued and rare cheese produced in Solitude. Only cows that belonged to the herd of Jarl Svartr, first king of Western Skyrim, can provide milk for the cheese. The royal herd, descended from these cows, is maintained by loyal retainers. Milk arrives regularly in Solitude, where it undergoes inspection by a royal cheesemonger—a hereditary office within the Blue Palace. This connoisseur of dairy has exacting standards for the milk he inspects and only one out of every dozen barrels is deemed fit for the making of Solitude Eidar. The milk curdles in a precise fashion, using a series of hourglasses custom-made for the purpose. Lastly, a crumb of cheese from the previous batch is added into the next one, thus creating an unbroken chain of eidar dating back generations.

Desserts

Name	Description	Image
Apple Cobbler	Apple Cobbler is made from the apples of Skyrim's orchards.
Apple Pie	Apple Pie is a type of pie made from apples.
Birch Cookie	Birch trees and their enterprising spirit are honored with miniature versions of the birch logs that burn in many a hearthfire, keeping the Nords warm and snug.
Boiled Creme Treat	Boiled Creme Treats are quite popular in Skyrim. The fluffy sweet dough around a creamy custard filling makes for a substantial little dessert.
Chocolate	Chocolate is known to be produced by Nords.
Custard	The shaggy cows of Skyrim give especially good milk for custard, as it is rich with the flavors of their mountainside grazing.
Hand Pie	Portable treats with a flaky crust that are popular at festivals and other social gatherings. Especially popular at Bard's College during the Fire Festival. Made with rye dough, meat, and rice.
Honeycomb	A rare treat for Nords.
Honeycomb Brittle	A confection that looks like a honeycomb. It is light and crispy, with toasted honey flavors.
Honey-Dipped Apples	As tart apples are a staple in Skyrim, they can easily be made into honey-dipped apples. The apples are served either roasted or raw, then iced with a drizzle of sweet milk and honey. They are described as sticky, messy, sweet, and tart.
Honey Pudding	Originally a Khajiit dish, the Nords forego the moon-sugar in favor of allowing the honey's natural sweetness to shine through.
Jazbay Crostata	A tart that is strictly a delicacy best enjoyed after a heartier meal. The primary ingredient is Jazbay, with the dark, sweet juice of the grapes sinking into the dough to create a deliciously moist base, though it's sturdy enough to not be soggy. It is considered too sweet to some.
Long Taffy Treat	The recipe for this confection that was so closely guarded that it was impossible for the average Nord to make up until 4E 201. A careless Whiterun guard let slip the secret after one too many ales, so now it is enjoyed much more widely.
Nimalten Goat Cheese	Goat Cheese curds dipped in hot oil and honey are remarkably tasty dish typical for Nimalten.
Oatmeal Raisin Shortbread	Sweet, buttery, and eaten across Skyrim, these little iced shortbreads are a good pick-me-up in the morning or in the afternoon.
Snowberry Crostata	A tart that is simpler than a pie, yet no less delectable. On their own, snowberries are so tart as to be quite unpalatable and so this pastry perfectly marries the tartness of the berry with the sweetness of the bread to create a truly memorable experience. Nords often eat this crostata after a meal as a treat, or early in the morning before a day's work.
Snowberry Sauce	The snowberry is one of the most common edible plants in the more northern parts of Skyrim. With rich spices and a dash of warming port, this tart sauce pairs beautifully with a variety of meats as well as desserts.
Spiced Root Cake	Spiced Root Cake is baked from batter made with carrots and parsnips. It pairs well with canis root tea.

Fruit and Vegetables

Skyrim's cold clime may make farming difficult, but Nords aren't without their fair share of greens. Though they are not vegetables, round, white mushrooms are often served alone in bowls or accompanying larger meals.

Name	Description	Image
Cabbages	Cabbages are commonly grown and eaten in Skyrim.
Elves Ear	Elves Ear is a type of herb commonly found in kitchens across Skyrim. They are usually hung up to dry on racks.
Fried Potatoes	Fried potatoes are known to be eaten alongside ale.

Garlic	Garlic is commonly used in Nordic meals and can be found in nearly every kitchen of Skyrim.
Gourd	Gourds are a type of vegetable commonly grown in Skyrim.
Grilled Leeks	Grilled Leeks can often be spied gracing the tables of the rich and poor alike across Skyrim.
Ironwood Nuts	Ironwood Nuts are a hard-shelled fruit that are harvested from ironwood trees growing deep in the forests of Skyrim. The wood of these trees is hard as the metal after which it is named. The very rare black variety of ironwood produces a nut that is very succulent and believed to heighten the strength of whoever is able to crack its shell and consume it.
Jazbay Grapes	Jazbay grapes are known for their flavor and acidity. The grapes were once reserved only for emperors due to their exceptional flavor, and during the reign of the Septim Dynasty it was considered treason to harvest these grapes without the permission of the Elder Council or the Emperor. It is no longer illegal to pick the grapes, although harvesting them in large amounts is still frowned upon by the law. Apparently between the Third Era and the Fourth Era, the jazbay's taste had greatly diminished amidst the high demand it garnered during the time. While it improved the plant's survival, the flavor was lost in the process.
Juniper Berries	Juniper Berries are small white berries harvested from juniper, which is a small tree found growing in the Reach. They are known to be used for baking and for mead.
Potato Porridge	Porridge made from potatoes.
Snowberries	Snowberries are harvested from the snowberry plant which is commonly found near the snowline and are used in baking or can be eaten on their own.

Meats and Fish

The cold waters of Skyrim provide a bountiful source of seafood for the hardy Nords. They also keep cows, pigs and chickens for their meat. Fish are often preserved by drying them in the cold air and wind on wooden racks. The fish are not salted before they are dried. The result is stockfish, which can be eaten alone or served alongside other fare, such as mushrooms and bread.

The Nords sometimes smoke their meats; sausage is a prime example. Sausage, eggs and ham are common breakfast items in the western Holds. They can be plated in any combination of the three components; a full meal can consist of all three. Beef ribs are a delight from any Nord smoker, and are served by the rack.

Meatloaf in Falkreath is commonly made with wild game, carrots and cheese.

Name	Description	Image
Baked White River Salmon	Salmon is plentiful in the White River. Most simply bake the fish with some herbs which results in a delicious meal, but nobles often prefer it baked into a pastry case.
Beef	Beef from Skyrim's cows is commonly eaten across the province. It is also used in a variety of dishes. The Nords of Markarth are known to make spiced beef.
Boar	Nords are known to roast boar meat.
Charred Skeever Meat	Skeevers can be cooked on a spit over an open flame. The charred hide of spit-roasted skeevers can also be used as an alchemical ingredient. Skeevers aren't generally eaten in this manner by the public; rather, those living in the wilderness may be more inclined to kill and roast a wild skeever.
Chaurus Pie	The midsection of a Chaurus is roasted on a spit, basted with sauce made from tomatoes, water, pepper, salt and honey boiled together. When the basting and cooking is done, the combination is then baked into a pie together with potatoes, carrots and apples, turnips can optionally be added, too. This pie is then baked until browned.
Cheese-Baked Trout	Trout that has been baked with cheese.
Chicken Dumpling	Chicken Dumplings are a specialty of many inns across Skyrim, where travelers can enjoy them hot after a long day's journey, but they're also a popular pick in many personal kitchens. In either case, the creamy filling has restorative properties.
Chicken Eggs	Eggs from chickens are commonly eaten across Skyrim.

Goatherd's Pie	Goatherd's Pie is a meat pie that uses goat meat as its primary ingredient.
Horker Loaf	Horker Loaf is a common dish for many coastal families. It's considered lucky to eat the roasted garlic "tusks" at the top of the loaf, and children will often compete with one another to get them.
Juniper Lamb Chops	Lamb chops with juniper berry sauce. Juniper commonly grows in the southwest regions of Skyrim.
Mammoth Steak	Mammoth Steak is a cut of steak made from mammoths. While much of the animal is tough and inedible, the loin is exquisitely tender. Cutting a slice from this impressive part of the beast yields a flank of meat that can be seared or broiled.
Merringar	Merringar is a rare type of fish that can be found in the Sea of Ghosts, roughly a week's voyage north from mainland Skyrim. They are considered to be a delicacy. Local fishermen hunt them in schools, but harvesting them is a dangerous endeavor as their blood can attract dreugh. Simocles Quo, the Master of Cuisine in Emperor Uriel VII's Elder Council, nearly died in such an event.

Seared Slaughterfish	Slaughterfish are often seared to make steaks. Nordic tradition requires the cook to sear the fish, once picked clean of bones, until the skin is blackened. Some prefer to cook the flesh slowly by wrapping the fish in cabbage leaves, searing the skin as the very last step before consumption. It goes well with mammoth cheese.
Slaughterfish Eggs	Slaughterfish eggs are known to be eaten and used in cooking and alchemy by Nords.
Steamed Mudcrab Legs	Mudcrab legs are steamed and eaten by Nords.
Venison	The meat of deer is often eaten by Nords.

Basic hearty meat stews may contain red or white meat. Mushrooms and whole fish can be scrounged up to make a simple stew while camping out in the wilderness.

Name	Description	Image
Apple Cabbage Stew	Apple Cabbage Stew is a richly flavored broth that is both nutritious and delicious, despite the limited ingredient list. For many Nords, this meal reminds them of their youth. Though, there is some debate over the method of cooking the stew, mainly in the use of the apples. A strict divide exists between those who believe in mashing, and those who believe in cutting. Imperials prefer a version of this dish that uses red cabbage, which they say is sweeter.
Braised Rib Stew with Farro	One of Skyrim's most rustic soups, it is common in small villages and hunting camps that are far from cities, where every bit of food is considered precious and nothing is wasted. The rib bones at the bottom of the pot give the broth extra nutrients that are essential for surviving long spells of frigid weather. It pairs well with garlic bread.

Potato Cheddar Soup	A staple at every farmstead and crofter's village across Skyrim. Simple but hearty, it warms the bones and prepares workers for the day's labors, from shopkeeping, to working the fields.
Potato Crab Chowder	A type of chowder made using potatoes, milk, butter and crab meat.

Drinks

Name	Description	Image
Alto Wine	Alto Wine is a common wine found across Skyrim. It is made from Jazbay grapes, which grow in the volcanic tundra of the Aalto in Eastmarch. Reven's Warrior mentions a privately owned vineyard in The Aalto, which produced wine. Alto Wine was at one point rare and extremely expensive, and the Emperor required the Elder Council's permission to have a glass of it once a year.
Ashfire Mead	A mead produced in Thirsk. One known ingredient is Juniper Berries, which gives it a sweeter flavor.
Black-Briar Mead	Black-Briar Mead is a beverage produced in the Skyrim city of Riften. Circa 2E 582, Black-Briar Mead was an especially potent drink popular with the local Nords, which was shipped as far abroad as Ebonheart during the days of the Ebonheart Pact. In the Fourth Era, production of Black-Briar Mead resumed in Skyrim when the Black-Briar family of Riften attempted to gain a foothold in the mead industry. Its major competitor was Honningbrew Mead, although by 4E 201 Honningbrew had been eliminated and Black-Briar obtained a monopoly on production. Black-Briar Reserve is a higher quality, more expensive, and more potent mead, although the brewery has been known to simply fill the bottles with regular mead. Another known variant is the Blackbriar 195 Berry-Blend.
Canis Root Tea	Tea brewed from canis root that awakens the body and mind. Popular among mages.
Ginger Beer	A barley beer flavored with ginger root.

Mead	Mead (also called Nord Mead, or Honey Wine by the Altmer) is an alcoholic beverage made from fermented honey and water, alternatively with molasses, and sometimes strained with mashed grains. It is a very popular drink that can be found primarily in the province of Skyrim, but it can also be seen across the continent of Tamriel, as brewing is the basis of any culture. Mead is very popular among the Nords of Solstheim, who usually import it from mainland Skyrim. Meaderies across the provinces have their own ingredients and recipes, mixing in their own spices and fruits like Juniper Berries.
Red Mountain Flower Tea	Tea made from red mountain flowers. Though the flowers are primarily sought out by alchemists, the common folk frequently collect some to brew refreshing tea. Some Nords prefer it unsweetened, and enjoy the tartness the flowers lend to the brew.

Spiced Cider	A hot, non-alcoholic drink made from cinnamon, spices, and the juice of Skyrim's abundant apples. Popular with children, as well as adults with hangovers.

Notes

• The Nordic practice of drying unsalted fish to make Stockfish has real-world roots: it is common in Norway, where wooden racks called "hjell" are used to dry fish on the foreshore (a part of the shore that is above water when the tide is low and submerged underwater when the tide is high).
