Meals are moments of relaxation in the harsh lives of Mekiesh people. Most meals are had lying down or right after a bath. The temperate climate and fertile fields allow for cultivation of wheat, grapes, apples, artichokes, broccoli, asparagus, cucumbers, sunflowers and various nuts. Cows, chickens, and bees are the most common animals. Pepper, laurel, poppy, and salt from the marshes are used to flavor food. Mead and wine are quite popular and inexpensive, with whole cities built around wine businesses.
