Lore:Orc Cuisine

Overview | Altmer Cuisine — Argonian Cuisine — Bosmer Cuisine — Breton Cuisine — Dunmer Cuisine — Imperial Cuisine — Khajiit Cuisine — Nord Cuisine — Orc Cuisine — Reachman Cuisine — Redguard Cuisine — Other Cuisines

Because of their tight-knit tribal communities, the Orsimer cook many communal meals where a large central dish is shared among many individuals. While some live in Orsinium, most live in strongholds scattered across the continent. Each stronghold needs to be self-sufficient, so their diet is predominantly practical fare that can be foraged, hunted, or easily grown, then stored. Stronghold Orcs don't have much room for ornamentation, but they make use of a wide variety of spices and seasonings, which they acquire through trade. The fires of their forges are often used to roast skewers of meat.
