I can't help but see Dol Amrothians eating a lot of fish stews, dried fish, fish casserole...

Nah...but not for any good reasons...I always had a crush on Prince Imrahil, and I don't like fish. So I don't want Imrahil to have fish-breath.

I always imagined Dol Amroth (and the nearby lands of Belfalas) to have a hearty sort of Italian cuisine. Heavy pastas in rich sauces with lots of vegetables. Lamb and exotic seafood for meat, and perhaps pickled fish like anchovies or sardines, if they ever eat preserved fish at all...why on earth would they ever eat dried fish? It would be available year round, even to the poorest of Imrahil's people!

The location in the south of a fairly temperate continent and the proximity to both the Sea and mountains...this is what my brain instantly pops up.


Oh and the Dwarvish diet, I think, would be peppery. Not hot...but peppery.
