Lol, it's definitely a 0-level character profession in DCC, there is even a fanzine called, The Gong Farmer's Almanac. :lol:
Not sure about WFRP, but sounds like it should be.

Circling back to this topic after far too long away!

The video's main topic is a medieval tavern meal but it branches off into several other interesting areas. Enjoy!



After watching this, I could see trying this one o' these days... perhaps in the retirement days or if several of us decided to gather again for a days-long event like OmaCon, PeyCon, etc. it could be one of the dishes prepared. It might be interesting if a different person were responsible for preparing a medieval dish each day to add some "flavor" to said gathering...
