Kwermbrynyr Rarebite
Category: Best Cheese-related Product.
Nation of Origin: Bears Armed (The Ursine Northlands)
Territory: Clan Kwermbrynyr [orignally]
Type of Product: Savoury Recipe
This is a traditional dish that does not have a single, fixed recipe because it was developed "domestically" in the community rather than invented by some specific chef or at some specific restaurant. It consists of a relatively thick Cheese-based sauce, and is normally consumed while still hot: It is most commonly served on either oatcakes or toasted bread, but sometimes instead is served in a chafing dish (like a fondue) into which those items are dipped.
The most common form of Cheese used for this is 'Karr-Fyrrie', but other Kwermbrybyr-produced cheeses of similar types (i.e. made from cows' milk, 'hard', & preferably crumbly) are also considered acceptable. This is crumbled if possible, and otherwise grated or shaved, into approximately the minimum quantity of either cider (using that word in the RL British sense, i.e. fermented apple-juice) or cider-vinegar needed to keep the sauce liquid until it cools close to room temperature: Generally, more of these liquids will be used if the dish is going to be served in a chafing dish than if it is going to be served directly on the meal's bread-related components. Mustard is added "to taste", and in more recent octades both 'effspice' (a flavouring produced from the bark of a coniferous shrub that is endemic to Bears Armed's "Mainland" section) and black pepper have also sometimes been used.
Versions of this recipe used in parts of the country outside the territory of Clan Kwermbrybyr are more likely to add those additional flavourings, quite commonly use similar cheeses of more local origins rather than the actual Kwermbrnyr-produced ones, and may replace the liquids involved with ale, beer, malt vinegar, or even a 'roux' (i.e. butter& flour sauce): The members of Clan Kwermbrybyr themselves insist that the name should not be used in the latter cases, although the more moderate among them will accept the use of alternative cheeses as long as those are reasonably similar to their own traditional ones.
