Bliil
A common jungle treat that was once simple meal filler, turned to a luxury delight, due to the need of imported sauces. During the rising tensions of Iot pressuring their neighbors to adopt their culture and technical advancements gifted by the Students, a not so reasonable voice demanded they go for the very vein connecting them all. Trade routes. Hindering the prices and policing what they allowed to sell between nations, this would cause a bitter view not upon Iot, but the region that refused their generosity. Parts of jungle territories were losing income being unable to sell their goods further out and make profit. The trade wars would be called off after a deal was made, another ally gained, and the flood of cheap goods and fine cuts flowed to the public and common folk once more.
Bliil contains smoked and chopped back or belly meat (brwee or other blue meat) covered in a semi-sweet fruit glaze, all nicely baked or fried in an herbal bun. On some festive occasions, the buns would be marked with pictures or scripts on the surface, or made with seasonal glazes.
