[Artemisia] BSK Seige Contest Groceries

[Chuck Heisler Jr.]

Hey,
 
As good as this sounds, it isn't a siege contest unless you are talking early in the siege.  My 'late in the siege' contest menu would be somewhat more limited.
 
MEATS:
 
Fish from the moat
then
 
Half starved Horse, Dog, Cat and Rat.  Whichever is most easily available.
then
 
Boot Leather
then 
 
. . . . well, you can guess.
 
OTHER:
 
Hopefully clean water, if not, whatever rainwater or stale/green/crawling water is available
Rotting, sprouting, rat nibbled grain from last years harvest
Nettles or whatever other weeds and grasses which can be found
A handful of hoarded beans
A couple of wrinkled dried up old apples from the bottom of the barrel
 
Spices?
 
Maybe I have the wrong idea?
 
Just thinking about sieges.  I do miss the good old days.
