Overview | Altmer Cuisine — Argonian Cuisine — Bosmer Cuisine — Breton Cuisine — Dunmer Cuisine — Imperial Cuisine — Khajiit Cuisine — Nord Cuisine — Orc Cuisine — Reachman Cuisine — Redguard Cuisine — Other Cuisines
The Redguards live upon the arid land of the Alik'r, which makes farming an arduous task. They allow domesticated livestock (such as goats) to graze, and their crops need to be able to resist drought. They often dehydrate or salt their food for storage and trade. Everyday meals, on the other hand, are cooked using methods that don't exacerbate the intense heat of the sun during the day: flatbreads are baked within seconds on searing hot stones instead of ovens, and pots of stew are placed over coals to cook over long periods of time. Their port cities bring in trade that adds variety to their diet, and the hot peppers that grow in their homeland are prized both by them and cooks overseas.[1]:10

Shrieking Cheese | Redguards craft a cheese with an unusual quirk. They keep the secrets of its culturing process close to heart, but love to surprise foreign guests by serving it. When it is melted to a certain point, it lets loose a scream. In a common dish, small blocks of the cheese are added atop spicy meat as it cooks in an open pot. When it shrieks, it's ready.[3] |
