Most of the recipes are now based on real world food, very little is lore accurate anymore - for all races.

Is this post for real? No one likes Bosmer!! Not only are there practically 3 1/2 zones of them but they're just so damned annoying. I was looking forward to more Khajiit related zones but lol nope, Argonian and Orcs are up next. Bosmer can go die in a hole.
Thats what I have the biggest issue with. Take for example Senchal Curry Fish and Rice or Argonian Pumpkin Stew. Pumpkins, really? That's what they eat deep in the hostile marsh?WarrioroftheWind_ESO wrote: »Hircine's Meat Loaf? Adding Lore names infront of 'modern' dishes doesn't make it any more immersive.
Bosmer drinks are ostensibly 100% meat-based, but with the way they did crafting, only food contains meat ingredients.
This does not matter.

Admittedly, there are some immersive names too. Wamasu loaf, since we're talking about Argonians. Ash-hopper dumplings and beetle-cheese. Flin and shein. But still, it's puzzling why they removed certain lore staple recipes.
Numidium brandy is an odd one. Why would anyone want to name a drink after the Big Stompy? It's quite a terrifying entity.
I agree that lore names for recipes need to come back. As it is, the lack of the ever-symbolic fishy sticks and sweetrolls is by far the worst thing they could have done to Provisioning
That's not really what this is about. They might make sense in the context of cultures that inspired each race, but this is a video game with rich lore and Khajiit are not Hindu, they're Khajiit. So in addition to mundane real world names we should see a lot of unique, exclusive to TES foods. Like moon sugar, the most iconic Khajiit substance. They should be at least somewhat exotic; I could make all these pumpkin stuffs, risottos and whatnot myself, so it's kinda... boring. I see these names and I don't think "Bosmer!" like with rotmeth, I think France or Italy or Mexico.Thats what I have the biggest issue with.

Pumpkins actually originated in Mexico, and Argonian stylings are decidedly Aztec in this game, so it fits super well with the overall theme!
Senchal is a remarkable Khajiit port city, and Khajiit have some Indian style influences, so curry fish and rice also makes perfect sense.

But then creating lore-appropriate recipes is tricky with this system, rotmeth was problematic even before - it was made from Aged Meat and Corn Mash, of all things. Corn?
