Early-autumn veggible soup, damson 'n' pear crumble, with redcurrant tart an' strawberry juice to follow. How'll that suit ye?

Redwall Feasts Bot @redwallfeasts.bsky.social · 7h

In rapid order, a full blackcurrant pie, a plate of dried fruits, a big pitcher of damson wine, and an enormous potato, mushroom, and carrot pastie were devoured by the insatiable hare.

For their last meal of the day, they made leek pasties garnished with pickled onions, spring salad with carrots, radishes, celery, watercress, leeks, and scallions, flatbread, and almond slice.

They set out carrot and mushroom bake topped with cheese, placed woodland fruit trifle with flaked almonds and meadowcream on trays, and filled a pitcher with mint an' pennycloud cordial.

The centerpiece was a massive moist candied chestnut cake, decorated with candied chestnuts and surrounded by trifles of various colors—bright red-current, green gooseberry, pale pink rose, and delicate woodland violet.

Around the south wall was a scene of merry chaos. Tarquin came to meet them, a beaker of mint an' rose cordial in one paw and a half-eaten almond scone, dripping honey, in the other.

Food was served on the open decks, hogcooks bustling in and out of their huts, carrying pans of thick porridge flavored with cut fruit and honey, the staple diet of Waterhogs. This was accompanied by hot celery an' onion flans and mugs of dandelion'n'burdock cider.

Around the south wall was a scene of merry chaos. Bosie came to meet them, a beaker of pennycress an' comfrey cordial in one paw and a half-eaten blackberry scone, dripping honey, in the other.

I'd have a wedge of cheddar cheese, the one with roasted hazelnuts in it, and one, no two, of Friar Gooch's fresh barley farls, straight from the oven.

They camped at the edge of the path that night. Seated by a merry little fire they had a good supper of honeyed barley scones, honeyed plumcake, and elderflower water.

A large platter of mushroom and celery turnovers stood steaming in the center of the board, surrounded by hogweed and dandelion salad dressed with crowfoot and garlic mustard, along with nut-studded cheese and almond bread.

Here, matey, how's that for elderberry an' burdock cordial? Try some of this hot root punch. How d'you like fruitcake? Have a wedge. D'you reckon you'd get the better of one of these maple and buttercup wafers? Come on then.

Hot herbal tea, a mug of cold dandelion ale, some freshly-baked blackberry tarts with meadowcream, and a plate of toasted scones with cheese.

Carrot flan, served with celery-studded yellow cheese, and a loaf of freshly-baked harvest bread. Washed down with a mug of mint an' pennycress cordial.

There was a thick hazelnut and leek stew, warm arrowhead bread, a deep dish of cheese'n'mushroom'n'leek bake, and a hazelnut and elderberry pudding with meadowcream. After the meal, they sipped mint an' rosehip tea.

They sipped Corksnout Spikkle's fizzy pale summer cider and munched hot beechnut scones that contained chunks of candied pear. The elders drank special barkbrew beer and cut slices of yellow nutcheese to go with it.

Eyes widened as dish after dish was brought to the table. Pear pie, jugs of burdock cordial! One enormous basin o' celery soup! Wheels of Guosim cheese, hot loaves of carrot and turnip bread! Almond an' chestnut slices with arrowroot sauce!

Half an hour before dawn the young mouse was roused by a shrew who gave him an acorn cup full of raspberry juice, a loaf of rough yellow dandelion bread, and some tasty fresh roots he could not identify. By first light they were on the move again.

See that liddle keg yonder—aye, that un. Well, that's the best mulberry brandy ever fermented in these cellars. That big tun barrel at the back now, that's spiced nettle ale. Very good of a winter's night with toasted white cheese with celery and onion.

Around the south wall was a scene of merry chaos. Florian came to meet them, a beaker of rosehip cordial in one paw and a half-eaten damson scone, dripping honey, in the other.

During afternoon tea, platters of meadowcream scones, wedges of brown nutcheese, fruit tarts with honey, bowls of meadowcream, dandelion'n'burdock cider, and comfrey an' dandelion tea were passed around, their delicious aromas tantalizing.

In the kitchens, Goodwife Stickle was at their wits' end. The Foremole and his team had decided to make the biggest damson'n'gooseberry pudding ever seen in Mossflower country. Flour, fruit, honey and cream everywhere!

Redwall Feasts Bot @redwallfeasts.bsky.social · 3d

Fresh-baked breads vied with vegetable salads, cheeses, dumplings, and cakes, plus a huge cauldron of the moles' favorite deeper'n'ever turnip'n'tater'n'beetroot pie. There were hot herbal teas, cordials of all types, and a barrel of special dark ale on tap for the Elders.

Don't start talkin' about scoff, you'll have everybeast goin' on about feasts they were at seasons ago. All that ripe fruit an' crumbly cheese an' streambank salad, aye, an' pennycloud an' bulrush cordial. Look, you've got me at it now!

Redwall Feasts Bot @redwallfeasts.bsky.social · 4d

Honey bread, warm and fresh from the ovens, spread with damson preserves and washed down with plum an' gooseberry cordial.
