Dear Frontier traveller,
I’m trying something experimental in this edition of the Tales of The Frontier newsletter.
It’s curating a food and drink menu, based on characters from the world.
The purpose is to provide more insight into how the characters think and feel through their food choices.
So, with that in mind, here’s the kind of three-course meal that the Hammer of the Witches, Clay McNab would get stuck into.
Starter: Scotch eggs and mushrooms
As an appetiser, McNab would start off with something filling like Scotch eggs and mushrooms. This kind of dish is nostalgic for McNab, who grew up in poor conditions and was taught by his parents to savour every part of an animal.
The combination of pork, breadcrumbs and egg would make for the ideal breakfast fuel. It’d give McNab the energy to make the long rides across The Frontier, plying his trade as a witch and monster hunter.
Main course: Texas BBQ marinated pork loin steak, carrots and cheesy potato skins
McNab’s identity as a cowboy and gunslinger served as the inspiration for this dish. It’s the kind of slap up meal he’d have when he’s flush with coin.
I can imagine McNab rolling up into a small town somewhere in The Frontier, going to a saloon and ordering himself a similar dish to celebrate completing a job.
Dessert: Apple crumble and whisky
After finishing the steak, McNab would have room for dessert and he’d want to wash it down with something warm and sweet. Apple crumble and whisky is the ideal combination.
The Hammer Of The Witches is partial to Merais whisky, the tipple of his home Province. Merais whisky is made from corn and has a sweet, spicy quality that would pair well with the tartness of the crumble.
Reply back with what you think of this segment and if you’d like to see more TOTF food and drink themed editions in future.
Also, don’t forget to share it with your network and hook more people into this bizarre horror western world.
Regards,
