Jacob HarrisMe: okay, time to focus!
My brain: the faerie folk would abhor induction stoves because they require cookware with ferrous metals!
Amy Pearlman@harrisj this seems right. I fail to see the problem. I mean, Iron is the problem, but you’re assuming faerie folk want cooked food in the way humans do and as an assumption I feel it lacks merit. Wait, was that not what we were doing?
@Amypearlman well, now I figure I should put this other thing on hold and do some more research into what the stories say about what the faerie folk eat so you’re right this is what we were doing
ajc@Amypearlman @harrisj @blackfog Off the top of my head, the foods associated with faeries are usually bread, milk, honey, beer, and various fruits. Unspecified feasts are also prominent, but frequently turn out to be conjured out of mundane/inedible items. I don’t know that much cooking is a part of what the far do for themselves; they tend to want cooked foods to be gifted to them.
Craig Pearlman@ajc @Amypearlman @harrisj Or, if you follow the Jim Butcher mythology, they’re really into pizza. Then, so are ninja turtles. I’m not sure I have a point anymore.
@blackfog @ajc @Amypearlman Ninja Turtles don't have an aversion to iron though (or at least Leonardo and Raphael don't, it's possible that Donatello prefers the oak bō for this reason and I don't know if Michelangelo's nunchuks use rope or chain)
