Player Nitpicks and Requests

• Maki: I still want donuts. Make Willy sell them! :D
• Maki: It's supposed to be Valorian Bitters, not Jhelom Bitters! I was making a meta joke to our Aussie players who go on in IRC about good ol' "Voiye Boiye" ^^
• Maki: Considering I burn corn like 3/4 of the time when drying it, perhaps it could be added to the 1 emerald items? 10 or more per emerald would be nice.
• Daelin: would like - Orange tea, Lime tea, Sweet Tea, Milk Tea and Sweet Milk tea.
• Maki and Daelin agree: "Eggs British" is supposed to be Eggs Benedict - which is sauced with Hollandaise, an egg yolk/lemon/butter sauce. Not like the current Sauce British, which is tomato/garlic/lemon - that's called cocktail sauce and you dip prawns in it :x

  Here's an idea: have egg, lemon and butter in your pack; use egg on butter, and check for lemon, consume one each and pop out a lemony yellow saucepot; cook sauce to get a yellow jar/bottle of Sauce British; have bread, sliced ham and 2 fried eggs in pack; use sauce on ham, check for bread & eggs, pop out plate of Eggs British. Doable?

• Maki: Sweet and mild peppers are pretty much the same thing - perhaps the sweet peppers could be spice pods or somesuch? Spices are usually barks(cinnamon), seed pods(nutmeg), dried berries(good ol' black pepper) or roots (ginger). Yes, chiles are seed pods, but they are considred savory, not sweet
• Maki: Though I know of some recipes that cook lettuce, I would think peas would be a better green in the mixed veg. And perhaps some corn too, combining the 4 of the 5 favorite britannian veg?
• Maki: Quiche is an egg -and- cheese pie, not just cheese. And the egg is in the majority vs. the cheese :p
• Iocus' Tea Geekery : From The Lands of Awayness, A Tea Obsesser Nitpicks!

  Herbal Tea = Tea + Herbs? What? More often than not herbal tea is without tea leaf and is simply steeped similar to tea. That is, it is an infusion made through steeping in boiling water. Herbs + Tea, would equal more of a blend tea.

  The following is how it would be scripted to make it so I have nothing to complain about. It is highly simplified but makes more tea-sense!

  The simplest of teas is White Tea, it is very fresh tea leaves dried the moment of harvest. It is blander and gives the water more of a light yellowish green tint when steeped. Though supposedly the healthiest. In all cases the oven is used to dry the tea leaves and stop any further change in the tea. Tea Leaves + Oven -> White Tea Leaves + Water -> Pitcher of White Tea

  Green Tea, unlike White Tea, is wilted. Refered to as Fermented by tea makers but the term is misleading. They basically just wilt the leaves in the shade. I figure this could be done by using the tea on itself.

  Tea Leaves + Itself -> Withered Tea Leaves + Oven -> Green Tea + Water -> Pitcher of Green Tea

  The favorite by most. Black tea. It is "fermented" for much longer than Green Tea, it is also commonly rolled for best quality. Releasing many of the oils. Never dried too far as to make it to brittle for rolling. I figure after the tea is withered the second use on itself would roll the tea.

  Tea Leaves + Itself -> Withered Tea Leaves + Itself -> Rolled Tea Leaves + Oven -> Black Tea + Water -> Pitcher of Black Tea

  My newest tea interest is Lapsang Souchong. A tea slowly dried in the smoke of burning cedar or pine. Then fully dried over burning pine. It tastes smokey with hints of caramel and overall deliciousness when done right. Tastes like cigar ashes when done wrong. The actual series of steps in creating it would be silly to translate but can be summarized like so:

  Tea Leaves + Drying Rack -> Withered Tea Leaves + Itself -> Rolled Tea Leaves + Campfire -> Smoked Tea Leaves + Water -> Pitcher of Smoked Tea

  Now, to just be amusing: Tea Leaves + itself -> Withered Tea Leaves + itself -> Rolled Tea Leaves + itself -> Ruined Tea Leaves + Oven -> Bitter Tea + Water -> Pitcher of Bad Tea

• Iocus on burnination: It would be awesome if in cooking, you messed up some food dish or something you would get a ruined or horrible version of the food you were attempting to make. Like "Unidentifiable Goop" if you were making some chowder or "burnt pancakes" when failing to make pancakes. And to make it easy to get rid of, it isn't very filling. Perhaps there could be a comedic scripted emote that pops up.
