Food of Qu'sra

The food of Qu'sra is notable, primarily because their diet consists of only six main ingredients: na'ma, figs, dates, olives, pine nuts, and mushrooms.
The ingenuity and creativity of chefs are a testament to the blessings that Celicter has bestowed on Qu'sra. These are just a handful of the fine dishes prepared by those chefs.
Breakfast

• Fresh Na'ma - Na'ma taste best when freshly prepared, which is most frequently in the mornings. It's frequently eaten with fig and date preserves or Tefu, a blend of figs, pine nuts, and olive oil. When initially prepared, it's warm in temperature and warms the soul.
• Mushroom Hash - Mushrooms and na'ma are diced into fine chunks and then sauteed with olive oil until well cooked.
• Fruit Pie - Fresh na'ma is filled with fruit pastes made from figs, dates, or both.

Lunch

• Roasted Pine Nuts - Eaten as a snack.
• Dried Figs & Dates - Dried fruit eaten as snacks.
• Olives - Many forms of olives exist, most preserved in their own juices or brine.
• Tapenade - Olives and olive oil are roughly crushed into a paste. It's eaten on slices of na'ma or on mushroom caps.

Dinner

• Fried Na'ma - Na'ma is cut into cubes or thick strips and then fried in olive oil. Commonly eaten with tapenade.
• Roasted Mushroom Patties - These are full-sized mushroom patties which are either eaten on sliced na'ma or by themselves usually cooked in vinegar reductions or other sauces.
• Stuffed Mushroom Loaf - Na'ma is diced up, soaked in mushroom gravy, this is then covered with a thick shell of chopped mushrooms (imagine meatloaf with stuffing on the inside).
• Ha'nei with Mushrooms - Ha'nei is na'ma processed to be the same shape/texture as rice. It's then sauteed in a large pan with olive oil and mushrooms.
• Na'ma Pie - Na'ma is stuffed with stewed mushrooms, olives, pine nuts, and Ha'nei.
• Ha'bref with Pine Nuts - Ha'bref is na'ma processed to be like pasta. This is boiled and then mixed with a blend of olive oil, pine nuts, and a splash of vinegar.

Dessert

• Candied Fruit - Candied figs and dates are a common and easy dessert.
• Mashed Dates - Dried dates are peeled, pitted, and mashed into a paste. These are then cooked over a fire.
• Trifle - Na'ma is soaked all day in liqueur and topped with whipped & heavily sweetened olive oil. Garnished with crystallized dates and figs.
• Fig Flambe - Na'ma is marinated in fig liqueur and coated with date sugar. It's then set on fire until the liqueur burns out and the sugar is caramelized, adding a delicious crunch.
• Shaved Ice - Ice is created through spells and is then shaved with a sharp blade. The frosty treat is then sweetened with pine tea syrup or date juice for the kids and liqueurs for the adults.
