Meals served in courses like this were uncommon among the aristocracy in the kingdom of Gaal. Or rather, the sequence of dishes seemed very different from what men like Liam Dunn and Loman Lothian had grown up with.
In the great halls of Lothian manor, the first dish to be presented was often one of the most impressive, and by tradition in Lothian March, was almost always something the host's family had personally hunted for that evening's feast. Whether it was a triumphant stag, presented with the beast's antlers, or a fearsome bear, the first dish to be placed upon the table represented the host's valor and capability as a warrior.
Liam had taken up this responsibility to provide for his father's table years ago, and though Loman hadn't ever led a hunt, he'd accompanied his father on such hunts as a boy.
