"For some reason a very crucial component to worldbuilding seems to be an afterthought in most fiction I’ve consumed. And I am talking about the most consumable of consumables: Good Food.
Not just the protagonist ate something, that’s boring. I want to know what the texture was like, the aromas, seasoning, cooking techniques, how it compared to previous meals, what memories did it evoke, how does the food tie into the culture, what makes this a unique experience to the individual? Fantasy just doesn’t feel alive without food to flesh out the local culture. "
By the way, I just wanted to note that if you add /rss to the end of the Solarium url it gives a working feed, which I’m very happy about.
Definitely going to keep an eye out for future articles!
