Got an idea for a series of "stories" based on the Iron Chef TV series.  Looking for interest in possibly taking on the roles of Iron Chefs:  Gallente, Minmatar, Caldari, and Amarr.

If you're interested in co-writing this, send me a message here, or Evemail Erik Leroux.

And in the words of the Chairman, "Ala Cuisine!"

Here is something I made in homage to Herko a few years ago, maybe it can help with your project.   I am working on a little something else for you too.

Krekaa

Krekaa is a uniquely Caldari drink that is made by the fermentation and then distillation of Kresh pomace; the discarded seeds, stalks, and stems of the kresh grape that are a by-product of the Hak’len winemaking process. Krekaa has been around since the Raata Eimpire.

Krekaa started as a by-product of the Hak’len winemaking trade, a rough drink made with what was available, potent enough to get the farmers through the cold winter months. It was good at warming you up, but at the time not particularly tasty.

After the Exodus from Caldari Prime, Caldari distillers sought to create a high quality drink to rival the famous Gallente brandies. They began producing Krekaa batches from a single type of grape as opposed to a mixture of whatever grape types were left over at the end of the season. Today you'll find Krekaa at higher-end Caldari restaurants and retailers.

The flavor of Krekaa, like that of Hak’len, depends on the type and quality of the Kresh grapes used as well as the specifics of the distillation process. It is potent and dry and occasionally, a producer will add a little syrup to sweeten the lot. Most Krekaa variations are not aged before bottling and thus are typically clear and colorless.

Traditionally, Krekaa is served chilled in small glasses and served after the meal, as the Caldari believe that it aids digestion. Correctly, Krekaa should be swirled gently in the glass and then brought to your nose, before tasting. It is then tasted in small sips.

Suvala was a scrapped side project I was working on with another Caldari RPer.

Is Krekka poisonous like Hak'len?

Is Krekka poisonous like Hak'len?

Yes, like Hak'len, it is poisonous to anyone not Civire or Deteis but it doesn't have the same ceremonial and religious associations as Hak'len.

Ahh. I've had Katrina drinking tea with a drop of Hak'Len (like literally just a teaspoon or less) regularly. She's pureblood Deteis, thanks to the Tube Child program, so it's nothing dangerous for her. I might switch to your drink in her tea, instead of using Hak'Len.
