Edibility Amongst The Dark

A small adventuring cookbook and foraging guide.

To survive in the dark without losing yourself, three things are needed: light, water, and food. Sadly I won't be able to assist you with the first two, but this book should hopefully help with the third. - "Fluer"

Purpose

The small book was one survivalists way of imparting their knowledge to their companions before they set out on a journey of their own. The original author's name is only recorded as "Fluer" in a small excerpt directed to their companions.
Nowadays, it is a stable within adventurers guilds for amateur and experiences adventurers alike.

Document Structure

Clauses

The small book is divided unevenly between survival tips and identifying food that is able to be scavenged and foraged in the dark, and recipes involving those very ingredients.

Publication Status

The small book, once found, was rewritten and published thanks to another adventurer. Said adventurer left Fluer's statement and author intent intact, and merely made public copies of it. While not a common book, it is definitely public access.

Historical Details

Legacy

When the document got out to the public, and to adventurers guild specifically, there was a noticeable decrease in death by starvation from amateur adventurers.

Edibility Amongst The Dark

Volbane Stirfry

• 100g of any kind of meat barring Voluxi Beetle (it seems they avoid volbane for a reason, mixing the two together causes horrific stomach aches)

• Enough volbane moss to make a palm sized block

• 2 potatoes or other root vegetables, cut into chunks

• A sprig of spring onion, chopped and optional

• Salt, pepper, and a pinch of chili

• Literally any other vegetable, go wild

Once the fat, oil, or butter has heated through, place the moss block and meat chunks together in the pan. The flavour coming from the moss once cooked will flavour the meat further, and the juices from the meat will infuse back into the volbane. Let the meat cook for a minute or two, and add the chopped vegetables and seasonings to fry.
Once the meat is cooked through, and the moss has a slightly crispy outside texture, drain the leftover oil into a storage container to be used again. Use tools to separate out the moss into smaller, bitesize chunks, and stir through the vegetables and meat properly. Season with the spring onion and a pinch more salt and pepper if needed, and eat while hot.
As a bonus, this meal can be cooked in advance and safely stored in a pack without having to worry that voluxi beetles will get into it.
