Last poll of mine for a while: what's your favorite LW food?

Larnuma fruits; I always pictured them as similar to purple apples or pears.

I use Hunting.
However, the meals that increase your EP are still worth having.

I always wondered how LW found food in LW13. I mean, you spend the whole time indoors, adjacent to a plague laboratory, surrounded by Vazhag droppings. I think at the very least to make use of the hunting aspects of Huntmastery you should have to take Deliverance too, just so whatever you eat doesn't infect you. Then again, there is that antidote . . . I guess now I'm undecided again.

I seem to recall a particularly tasty-sounding meal of "salt beef and spiced fruit" aboard the Skyrider at one point. The worst? Sheeps butter and dried milk cake, or a "lump of stale cheese".   |

For me, it will be Book 9...the delicious meal in Chiban's house. (one of the best descriptions so far)
"...a sumptous meal of grilled trout, baked potatoes, hakeroot and sparkling Anarian wine..."

What about the meal you can't even eat, I believe in book 9, because it's cooked over a dung fire and it makes you lose your appetite? Or that greasy food you can buy, also in book 9, along with that wine "with a bouquet like sour milk?" |

Favourite meal from the Lone Wolf saga? Well, that would be the "platter laden with roasted meat" from paragraph 172 of The Kingdoms of Terror, of course ... Though that Yoacor food was nothing to sneeze at, as well. The Wytch-King, malevolent and carnivorous  edit: Well, I do take Hunting quite early, but that's no reason to stop enjoying a good meal ... |

Hunting is always one of my top picks. ;D BUT, I did really enjoy the Yoacor food, even when I didn't need the EP back. This one stuck in my head for some reason.  ~Relenoir, who now has a sudden middle-of-the-night urge for ice cream now. Time to do my sit-ups. . .  |

The post above about eating inside Mogaruith brings up an interesting point. Are there times in the Lone Wolf books when you shouldn't be able to use even Huntmastery to avoid having to eat a Meal? I'm thinking in particular of the point in Book 13 where you're running away and are told you need to eat a Meal while running. Presumably in this case you don't have time to stop and hunt for food! Can anyone think of other times like this?

I wondered what the heck you could find to eat in a frozen wasteland full of undead like Ixia. What do you do, gnaw on a few recently-unanimated bones, maybe suck out a little bone marrow, and wash it down with a few pieces of ice? Blech! |

@ Wytch-King Ah, should have thought of that before I ate my belt pouch. . . and the entire contents.  Crowns, kika, and lune are packed with lots of minerals! ;D |

I'd imagine it's feasible that Lone Wolf could have hunted and killed a chicken before hand, and lashed it to his backpack or something? |
