Duran Cuisine

A common food on Dura is shifuodo, a small wrap made of saltweed, an altered form of seaweed, subu, a type of grain harvested in the Sun season, okoro, one of the many vegetables harvested in the Atani jungle, and bakumu, a hearty cream made from milk, fish, ajini, and bitame. When wrapped together in the saltweed, the food tastes like an entire meal, and can feed a child for days if eaten carefully. This food is popular amongst farmers and poorer people, as it is easy to make, uses only the cheapest materials, and is very filling. Richer people, however, tend to enjoy the larger meals of the City of Silver. A few examples of the meals are Konota and Okutok. Konota is a meaty meal made from Konumani meat, usually the meat from around the ribs. The meat is fried in Duraoil, then cooked even more in a special sauce made of sweet Duran tomatoes, grated and melted cheese, and sweet treemilk, a type of rare sap from a bursaagat iru tree. After both of the cooking processes, the now-flavored meat is transferred onto a platter, where it is then seasoned with an herb and carefully covered with leaf-thin slices of yellow suitoshu, a fruit, until the meat is covered in a delicate fishscale pattern. Usually this food is served at fancier restaurants closer to the Grand Capitol, such as Kin Koyen and Kamiashi,and less so at restaurants such as YattoYatto or Nikih.
