Recipes

In Order of Appearance
With all the unusual plants and animals in the abyss, you can bet on there being some pretty unusual foods as well, for better or for worse.

Riko Bombs:

 * Prepared by: Riko
 * Ingredients: Rice, processed seaweed (Orth grown). The moister the thick matting shrubs are, the tastier it gets. Adults like to add other ingredients too; beans, smoked fish, condiments, magoimo starch, etc; but Riko and her friends can't stand how they smell.
 * Extra: Orth cannot produce rice, so it has to be imported from overseas, making it a special food. It is only eaten on days when a person delves into the abyss, because of the possibility of death while spelunking. So, Riko always makes them big.

Riko Soup:

 * Prepared by: Riko
 * Ingredients: 2 sliced Demonfish (organs removed undamaged), diced sainona, miso stick, a bit of Eternal Fortune.
 * Appearance: Irredeemable
 * Taste: Rich and strikingly delicious
 * Extra: Smoke the fishs' livers and coat them with miso to preserve them for a later time.

Riko Stone Roast

 * Prepared by: Riko
 * Ingredients: meat from a Corpse-Weeper, seasoned with rock salt and Eternal Fortune seeds and grilled on both sides; steamed under ouba leaves.
 * Appearance: Appetizing
 * Fragrance: Inviting
 * Taste: Delicious flavor that appeals to one's instincts
 * Extra: The meat of corpse-weepers smells bad, so the ouba leaves provide the enticing smell.

Nanachi's Special Netherworld Stew

 * Prepared by: Nanachi
 * Ingredients: Demonfish, Giant Hammerbeak eggs, yellow-shining grass, Gintoko (mushroom), salt, an amount of water equal to the demonfish's weight.
 * Appearance: Like sticky mud
 * Fragrance: Oddly fishy
 * Taste: Irredeemable
 * Extra: Its smell is similar to that of a nest of Stingerheads. In her notes, Lyza stated that Stingerhead nests smell like burnt dried vomit, thus it can be assumed that burnt dried vomit is also an accurate description of how Netherworld Stew smells.

Reg's Grill
