Slice the baguette and serve it with the cheese plate. Provide a cheese knife and serving fork.
    A Word of Wisdom
    Creamy Brie de Meaux has a stronger, more fermented smell than its less-specific cousins, but is known as the “King of Cheeses.” Salty, crumbly Roquefort is an equally popular blue cheese made of sheep’s milk with patches of aromatic green mold throughout.

Balerion Fish Roe Dip
    On the stormy narrow sea, Daenerys cannot help but admire the life that dwells in the ocean waters. While the Dothraki may call it the poison water, Dany loves watching the dolphins and many forms of marine life. The sailors, the sea life, and freshly prepared Balerion Fish Roe Dip remind her of a time when she had wanted to be a sailor rather than a member of royalty. ( A Storm of Swords , Chapter 8 — Daenerys)
    Makes 2 cups
    5 slices white bread, crusts removed
    1 ⁄ 2 yellow onion
    2 lemons
    4 ounces tarama (cured carp or cod roe)
    1 cup olive oil
    1 cup mashed potatoes
Cut the bread and onion into chunks. Juice the lemons and discard the rinds.
Put all the ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. Serve on warm Soft Flatbread from Across the Narrow Sea .
    A Word of Wisdom
    If you can’t find tarama or aren’t sure what it will taste like, try crabmeat or tuna in its place to make a familiar-tasting seafood spread before you attempt the real thing.

Volantene Honey Sausages
    South of the river Volaenia lies the eastern free city of Volantis. Known for food, illicit pleasures, and slave trade, it is in this city that Tyrion Lannister finds himself the unlikely breakfast companion of a certain knight. But rather than sulk, the Lannister Lord knows to take enjoyment where he can, and this most gratifying honey sausage offers at least some relief from the pressures and fears he otherwise feels. ( A Dance with Dragons , Chapter 27 — Tyrion)
    Serves 10
    8 thickly cut slices salami or bologna
    16 slices Winterfell Black Bread
    8 ounces mustard pickles
    4 teaspoons honey Dijon mustard
Heat the grill to hot.
Place the sausage slices on the hot grill and turn after 1 minute.
Toast the bread on the side of the grill until lightly crisped on both sides. Cut the toasted bread slices into halves and place on a serving platter.
Remove the sausage slices from the grill and cut into quarters. Arrange the slices of sausage on the pieces of toast. Garnish with mustard pickles and honey Dijon.
    A Word of Wisdom
    Sausage dishes like this one are a particular favorite for bars and inns. The salt and savory flavors keep drinkers thirsty — making this easy dish literally worth its salt!

Bolton Wedding Cod Cakes
    Any time two great Westerosian houses are united, feasts are elaborate, and the Lord of White Harbor would not allow a wedding to happen without serving the finest food and drink. The feast — these cod cakes included — was so disarmingly delicious that no one noticed the proverbial elephant in the room … except Reek (which rhymes with leek). ( A Dance with Dragons , Chapter 37 — The Prince of Winterfell)
    Serves 6
    1 pound cod
    2 leeks
    1 red pepper
    2 egg whites
    Pinch of kosher salt
    Fresh-cracked black pepper
    1 tablespoon olive oil
Finely shred the raw fish with a fork. Dice the leeks and red pepper. Combine all the ingredients except the oil in a medium-size bowl; mix well. Form the mixture into small oval patties.
Heat the oil in a medium-size sauté pan. Place the cakes in the pan and loosely cover with the lid. Sauté the cakes for 4 to 6 minutes on each side. Drain on a rack covered with paper towels; serve immediately.
    A Word of Wisdom
    If you don’t have cod on hand, feel free to substitute a similar whitefish like haddock, halibut, pollock, or sole.
