Guild Wars 2

My friends were RPing when our Krytan buddy with a very heavy accent wanted ‘two shots of something good’ and ‘them chips with tha’ melted cheese’.

Discuss…

Also, basic food thread. What real life versions of food would be considered canon in GW2? Dolyak steaks, etc…

The list of things chefs can make is probably your best bet. Steaks are indeed present (and can be made from dolyak meat) but there are no nachos- no chips at all, that I can find.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Cup_of_Potato_Fries we do have Fries! In certain places of the world, those are called “potato chips”. And it makes sense – like chips of wood, but potato chips. Maybe your friend meant that?

What does a heavy Krytan accent sound like anyway?

I’m surprised they haven’t added chips to the chef’s recipes. They aren’t all that harder to make than fries are. Though knowing how cooking works in GW, if/when they do add chips in the game, it’s going to be a long list to finally make the nachos.

Handful of Chips
1x Potato
1x Vegetable Oil
1x Salt
1x Lime (For that added flavor)

Bowl of Cheese Sauce
1x Cheese Wedge
1x Buttermilk
1x Flour
1x Salt and Pepper

Plate of Nachos
1x Handful of Chips
1x Bowl of Cheese Sauce
1x Chili Pepper (to spice the cheese sauce)
1x Ghost Pepper (to garnish each chip before sauce is added)

/sigh. I’m hungry now…

Mmmm, It’s like that heavy pirate accent wit’ tha’ ‘postrophes but without the ’arrrr-ing’ and the slang.

As far as potato chips go (and this might be an urban myth, just a disclaimer), it was said that they were created when a fussy customer kept sending back a plate of scalloped potatoes because they weren’t sliced thinly enough. The chef, in a fit of rage, took the potatoes and deep-fried them before sending them out. The customer delighted in the novel food item. Assuming this is true, scalloped potatoes and deep frying would be needed to make them.

As for nachos, those are traditionally made with corn chip. No idea if you could make corn chips without the idea to make potato chips, or the exact process involved, if it was more complicated than just deep-frying sliced potatoes. However, thinking to melt cheese over them isn’t all that outrageous.

Now, I don’t think the chef’s recipe book is an exhaustive list of food items. There are vendors in Divinity’s Reach that sell cotton candy, which a chef cannot make, along with other foods from the other continents, mostly those of Canthan or Elonian origin. While Tyrian technology is not exactly equal to current day technology, it’s pretty close with certain variations (like a laser beam powered by magic instead of rockets and bombs). If we want to have nachos during RP, you can have nachos during RP.

That’s another weird thing about Tyria it seems. Even though we have Corn silk dye and an almost seemingly magical mineral of candy corn that grows from the ground when it’s exposed the Mad Realm’s energies, we don’t actually seem to have much if any mentions or representations of actual corn in-game.
