Roast oysters with horseradish

We recommend eating these solo, or with those you absolutely trust. Certainly don’t go buying them from a young girl on the street.

Barley with beetroot greens

Being blind in Braavos may mean endless bowls o’ brown, watery broth and barley. But today, someone gave you their beetroot tops. Life is good.

Beef and kidney pudding

Beef and kidney pudding

The crust on this pudding is made from suet, the fat found in the loins and kidneys of beef or mutton. With a rich filling of lamb kidneys, beef cheeks and oysters, it’ll give you the energy you need to fight off the White Walkers.

Game pie

A pie fit for a courtly feast. One that hopefully doesn’t end in murder.

Malt loaf

King’s Landing may rely on intermittent shipments from Qarth for its pine nuts, but it has no shortage of venison (well, before the Lannisters ruled). BYO dagger.
