A Hyborian Age feast on the horizon
Last night I was exhausted, so I immersed myself in the adventures of Conan the Barbarian. I read the comics *Night of Horror*, *The Sorcerer of Arenjun* and *The Tower of Mitra*. And when I got home, I still hadn’t had enough, so I watched an episode of the 1997 series
So today it gave me an idea :
My mum’s birthday is coming up and I’ll be staying at her place for the occasion. As she was the one who introduced me to Conan when I was 7, I’ve planned a themed menu for her:
Starter: Arenjun’s Tavern (roasted walnuts with honey, rosemary olives and feta with olive oil. Served with lavash bread and spiced mead or white hypocras)
Soup: Soup from the Cimmerian Mountains (mushrooms and caramelised onions in smoked dark beer, crème fraîche. Served with dark beer. )
Entrée: The Picts’ Hunt (wild boar terrine with sage and red berries, served with pickled onions. Served with red wine)
Main course: The King of Aquilonia’s Roast (leg of lamb with Provençal herbs, garlic and wine, served with Southern France red wine)
Dessert: Treasure of Argos (quark cake with walnuts, honey, figs in sweet wine and spices)
