Regardless of my favorite, I need to get the cookbook.

@martins#1fan: I would strongly recommend not double posting, just edit or add extra comments to your first post to begin with. I'm thinking this is just my opinion, but I'm not sure.

@Taggerung_of_Redwall: I need to get the cookbook as well; I've always wanted to try my favorite Redwall food, otters' watershrimp'n'hotroot soup.  I love the idea that only the otters are invincible to the spiciness because they have been eating it since they were very young.

I totally agree with you. Reading that part of the fifth book really made me excited to finish the series.

Of course, there's always the random character who can down a ridiciously large portion of hotroot soup and request more pepper added.

And in one book, a crew of dibbuns began eating portions of it and were fine

Yes, I know...that's the strange thing.  Because in the Rogue Crew, it is made apparent that the toughest of vermin can't stand it; in fact, it is used as a torture device at one point.  (No, I'm not joking!)  You'd wonder if this was a mistake on Jacques' part, but it's funnier to think that it was on purpose.  Maybe the hootroot soup effects characters based on their moral compass.

That is an interesting idea. So what if we suppose Frodo from the Lord of the Rings consumed the hootroot soup, in what way would it effect him?

Frodo would need a glass of water. You say that otters eat it when their young? I bet it is the same for the Dibbuns. If I was a Redwall character I would like hotroot peper. I can hold down spicey-ness. So my favorite food is the pasties. sounds yummy!

Good old scones jam and cream! Seriously, they're delicious. Abbot's special abbey trifle is delicious, make it from the cookbook. My favourite drink is strawberry fizz, but October ale is nice as well. I have the Redwall cookbook. If you don't have it, get it. It's as simple as that.

It's hard to explain. It's tastes bubbly, frothy, kind of like... I don't know... A bit like a fruitier version of ginger beer. It's really good.  :)
Title: Re: Favourite Redwall Food
Post by: Osu on June 22, 2011, 05:00:21 PM
Like a cross between root beer and ginger ale? And where on earth does the "october" part come in?

Yeah, this clinches it. I am getting that cookbook if it's the last thing I do.

Of all Redwall beverages, October Ale is the one I've always wanted to make and try. And a cake. Serisouly, Redwall cakes are awesome.

Have to get the cookbook.

Is it bad that I read that and the first thing I thought was, "so the difference between ginger ale and ginger beer is a teaspoon of sugar?!" XD What's up with that, man.

I actually think I have all the ingredients for this. I MUST TRY IT. It'd be nice if there were an ebook for the cookbook... hmm. Thanks for the recipe, Tagg! :)

Just squeeze yourself some strawberry juice and load it up with sugar, chill it in the fridge for a while, and I think that's what strawberry cordial is. That's just my guess, though. That's how the books always seem to describe it. The Redwall Cookbook has a recipe, I think.

Like strawberries need any more sugar.  ;D I would suspect some kind of bubbly concoction with strawberry cordial (similar to adding Sprite to punch).  Or maybe that is what strawberry fizz is....

In Snowfur's Redwall Encyclopedia's FAQ section (You kind find it right here: http://www.sullivanet.com/redwall/faq/rwfaq_universe.htm#rwu_dairy)
it says:

QuoteThis is a good question. There are indeed no cows or goats in Redwall. There are, however, plants that produce milk-like substances. This is what is referred to as "greensap milk". Besides, how could you have an abbeyful of mice with no cheese? ;-)

Post by: Flandor on November 12, 2011, 10:55:00 PM
I'm actually in the process of reading through the books for recipes and figuring them out in my kitchen :)  I'm a pretty good cook and want to attend culinary school, so this is a lot of fun for me.  So far I've made improvements to the cookbook's Shrimp and Hotroot soup, Deeper 'n ever pie, and several of the desserts.  I found brewed dandelion and burdock cordial at the store! It tastes good, fizzy and a little bittersweet. 

My shrimp n' hotroot soup uses double the veggie broth (homemade), and is finished with heavy cream and a teaspoon of cayenne pepper.  The cream balances the spice out and makes it velvety in texture :)

I can post up any recipes I end up figuring out if you'd all like?

It is fabulous.  I've made it a couple times out of my Redwall Cookbook. 
The scone recipe in the Cookbook is pretty good too.  As for Meadowcream, someone asked him about it in the "Ask Brian" collections, but I can't recall which volume it was in.  (There's links to the Ask Brian collections in this thread - http://redwallabbey.com/forum/index.php?topic=21.0)
