Grhinonas
The grhinonas is one of the export products of the Pristine Prairie. It is well known at the prairie among explorers and wanderers and known by wealthy people elsewhere because only people with substantial income can pay the price of transporting the grananas when it is still fresh and full of water. Of course, the authentic flavors only come out when cooked on a campfire.
Creating the standard grhinonas is relatively easy. Easier than getting the rhino for the meat. First, part of a grananas needs to be chopped down to access the liquid in the middle. Similar to chopping a coconut to reach its juice. Then you add various spices and herbs to the grananas water. The most frequently used spices are rosemary, thyme, sage, ginger, and garlic. Of course, the amount of these or other spices can vary. Then you soak the cut rhino meat in the mix for at least an hour to make it a little bit softer and to blend the taste of the beef and grananas. With a thin stick, alternatingly pierce the meat and grananas pieces and roast both, slowly turning the stick over the campfire.
This dish has a few variants if a special kind of rhino meat is used instead of a regular one. If the meat comes from a vampire rhino, the grhinonas taste like blood sausage. Having the meat of a burgeoning rhino makes the meal lighter than usual if the rhino was gotten in its giant form. And if someone likes to live on the wild side, lightning rhinos can be used as meat too. The meat must be clean altogether to avoid potential electrocution of remnant energies. However, many travelers and treasure hunters state that this is their favorite version because it gives them additional power to continue their journey.
Although skat'ra does not feed on this type of meal, they serve ghrinonas at events where guests are present from other nations and countries, like the birthday festival of the Matriarch happening every year at Matriarch's Hill.
It is not the best food I have eaten in my life, but it is filling
