Thor a'Zaene (Nordic fighter): You got any meat? Meat and mead. I don't care what kinds, just don't giveth me any of that elven mead! I want the cheap stuff! That elven mead...Honeybrew or whatever it's called, tasteth like tree sap and maketh me stomach churn.
Lady Saga: We have just received a new shipment of the finest Nordic Mead, sir. And on our specials list we have our delicious cheese steak. Cooked Beef with Goat Cheese Wedge melted upon it.
Thor a'Zaene: Beef and Beer. Sounds good to me. Throw a Baked Potato and some Apple Pie on the plate and we've made a deal.
Lady Saga: And for you, sister elf?
Crystal Beth (Pure Mage): 'evening dear. You haveth a menu mine sister elf?
Lady Saga: "Take a look!"
Crystal Beth: These. Grilled Leeks. And these. Green Apples. And these. Red Apples. And this. A Cabbage.
Lady Saga: We have just what you're looking for. Let me findeth a bowl. Perhaps I can arrange for all these food ingredients to be combined into one?
Crystal Beth: Yes that would be divine, sister elf.
Lady Saga: Anybody else? DRINK FOR THE HUNGRY! FOOD FOR THE THIRSTY!!!

NON-ROLEPLAY VERSION:
Cooked meats and mead for Thor, a salad for Beth. Thor was about 75% meat & potatoes with a cabbage thrown in occasionally, whereas Beth is a vegetarian.

Thor learned to cook simple meat items. He is basically a MAN sort of man. He knows how to grill, but ask him to make a soup or anything more complicated?

Beth prefers raw ingredients, but occasionally makes herself a soup, or has a "salad" arranged for her when she's in a tavern.
