Fuck's same, get a hobby. What does George "Romping Renegade" Martin like to eat?George R. R. Martin famously admitted, “I love food… But I’m not a foodie, I eat like a peasant.” While he spends thousands of words describing lavish Westerosi feasts of honey-glazed capons and lemon cakes, his real-life cravings during his active blogging days were much more down-to-earth: Barbecue and Mexican Food: These are his self-proclaimed absolute favorites. Living in Santa Fe, New Mexico, he used to regularly post about his love for local spots serving anything drenched in traditional New Mexican green and red chile. Classic Comfort Food: He was a massive fan of simple American staples—specifically burgers, pizza, and steak. (Has ha! Classic! Claaaasssic!!)
>>541784663A Real-Life Obsession with Soup: (omg i love soup, too!:-D)Just like in his books (where characters are constantly eating "Sister's Stew" or creamy seafood broths), George loves soup in real life! He has a particular fondness for hearty, rich seafood chowders and stews served in hollowed-out bread bowls. During the height of his LiveJournal days, it wasn't uncommon for him to log on just to rate a local rib joint or complain that his favorite New York pizza place wasn't accessible from New Mexico.
>>541784663He is never going to finish that series, is he?
>>541784678Would you like to look at some of the real-life recipes fans created based on his book descriptions, or talk more about his Santa Fe lifestyle?Y.Because George loves food so much, his superfans actually went out of their way to reverse-engineer his fictional feasts into real recipes. George was so impressed that he officially endorsed their work, which led to the creation of A Feast of Ice and Fire: The Official Game of Thrones Companion Cookbook.If you want to cook like you're in Westeros, the fans broke down his favorite book meals into two styles: authentic medieval versions and modernized everyday versions. The most popular real-life recipes include:The North (Winterfell): The absolute fan favorite is the Beef and Bacon Pie (chunks of beef potato stew baked inside a bacon-wrapped pastry crust) and Honeyed Chicken (roasted chicken basted in a rich glaze of honey, mint, and apple cider vinegar).The Wall (Castle Black): Fans love making the Mutton in Onion-Ale Broth and thick Pork Pies, which are perfect replication comfort foods for a cold night.King's Landing: The ultimate dessert choice is, of course, Sansa Stark's beloved Lemon Cakes.If you want to look at George's actual hometown life, his favorite local spot in Santa Fe is a family restaurant called Maria’s New Mexican Kitchen. He has also recommended El Tecolote Cafe for having the "best breakfast in town," where he usually orders traditional eggs and spicy sausage smothered in heavy New Mexican green chile.Would you like the exact recipe for the honeyed chicken, or would you prefer to explore what George's home city of Santa Fe looks like?Why, yes, I would!
>>541784703Series of appetizers!!!I wonder what he's eating right now. Lol.Good heavens, imagine living in the Golden Age when he posted on LiveBlog or whatever it was called, and just chatted about football and what he was eating. Those lucky bastards!!
>>541784761LiveJournal, that's it!Omg,,, good old George!!ASOIAF (10/10 audiobook, better than NPR radio propaganda, on my 200th relisten, at least!)https://rutracker.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5536103
>>541784663> love for local spots serving anything drenched in traditional New Mexican green and red chile.same ngl
>>541784886Did you know?In the Middle Ages they ate a lot of things we don’t eat, like swan. The preparation of swan for the royal feast would be amazing. They pluck the bird and cook the bird and stuff it and then they would stick the feathers back on to serve it. Talk about a time-consuming process.
When you go from being a regular sci-fi author to a global household name, the internet can become an incredibly overwhelming place. By stepping back from the weekly blog posts, disabling comments, and letting his staff handle the daily updates, he has finally given himself the breathing room to just live his life, protect his mental health, and focus on his health and writing without the weight of millions of expectations crashing down on him every single Tuesday.It is definitely a bummer for the fans who miss that old, charming connection, but it is hard to blame him for wanting a quiet life in Santa Fe!
I have no proof of this but suspect his ideas came from a dnd Birthright campaign that he never finished so he has no ideas to draw on anymore.
Have no clue what any of these morons itt are talking about. Is this one of those AI generated threads and replies?
>>541785426Dungeons and Dragons is now for asshole SJWs, unfortunately. Plus, read always kids dumb and an asskissing routine wit the Dungeonmaster. But, esp since being a "geek" or "nerd" became popular with normie scum, the entire thing is shit now to me. Anyways, you're wrong it's all like Shakespeare n shit. Really classy shit. Western Canon shit.Pro shit.Imagine a television drama so popular that an eagerly anticipated episode is shown live on big screens in packed bars and excited fans cheer and celebrate wildly as if they are watching a cup final. Strange to think now but that actually happened. The fantasy series Game of Throneshad such a hold on the public imagination that, in 2019, the final season episode featuring the climactic confrontation between the armies of the living and the dead was screened in bars across the US. Fans screamed and threw beer over each other while watching their heroes do battle with the Night King and his dread horde of White Walkers. It is difficult to imagine a TV drama ever again having such unifying cultural heft.
New Mexico has some damn good food that you’re not going to get anywhere else. Also there are a lot of hot white ladies
>>541785652was always kinda**>>541785569Buh bye
>>541784678so his books are just a lardass' food journal interspersed with depictions of senseless violence to fool the normies into thinking it's an interesting story?

I'm too depressed. I'm not mean to people here, I just have no drive to do anything.I wish I had hobbies. It all just evaporated and one day I woke up with nothing.
>>541785829Yeah same, I just think what's the point, I still go fishing just to break up the day
>>541785719Have you read them?
His old books are worth a read too if you can get your hands on them. I keep a rare copy of something he put out in 1977 with my other rare books- which is mostly stuff that's at least a hundred years old. I've got another one of his obscure titles that I haven't read yet but I've been looking forward to it. You'd be surprised at the range of genres he's been associated with. Don't miss the graphic novels either, those are wonderful.
>>541785902Armageddon Rag started off sooo good. But he left the poor insane rich guy in the gd prison-mansion! Lol, wtf? But great themes and suspense and characters and of course the fact that it's about an author who is late finishing two books is hilarious. I loved Sandkings, of course. But, I really think he should do travel writing. His best passages are of scenery and traveling parties.I'm OK had reading ASOIAF again and again. I'm still picking up on tiny details, believe it or not, after something like 20 re-reads!>Sometimes Old Nan would tell the same story she’d told before, but we never minded, if it was a good story. Old stories are like old friends, she used to say. You have to visit them from time to time.<3
>>541785865I want to get to the point where I go fishing. Soon. I hope.
>>541786187Bro It's as easy as dropping $50 at kmart and driving to some water
>His best passages are of scenery and traveling parties.Some of his best. And sorry about the spoilers there. Lol. Whoops, anyone who hasn't read AR. D:Ahhh, I just like the point of view he brings, even if it gets a bit dark. We'll be interesting to see what he does with Winds, if he gets it out, and it would be funny if he ended it with a traditional happy ending after all!
What if GRRM hit a certain level of fame/money where someone kinda hinted to him "hey, everything won't be here by 2040, so better hurry!" and that's why he hasn't finished his book
>>541786309I hope he does before winds and we get all the notes and unfinished drafts with multiple different endings/options
>>541784663where's his trademark greek fisheman's hat?
>>541786413I was actually thinking... just that ...earlier. But not 2040, more like 2029. And he's like, wtf is the point? He might also be depressed due to traveling back to Germany for the first time in 25 years, and seeing how cuckholded and brown it is? Lol, i dunno. This modern world is depressing to the best of us. I've often thought about how 'weird' it is when ppl die at inopportune times like an older relative MAGA fan dying during Biden's first year in office and thinking your candidate was a one term fluke, or...similar things. Dying during the first few months of Trump's re-election and being a Democrat. Has to put a damper on things. But anyways, the Sun will get us all in the end. I think sci fi stories are just distraction and wishful thinking for the most part. We already have a nearly perfect place here and are busy ruining it as fast as possible. I do wish George would just do like one blog post a day of just whatever the f*** it doesn't even matter. Just as long as its his voice. "Whatever drivel is in his head"? Like Cessen. >Hey, I like this wallpaper pattern or you know, just whatever>you ever write your name in the soap scum on the side of your bathtub? Like this??Lol or something equally irrelevant just weird stupid shit like that. >Oh look, I'm eating something! Lol, just to kind of know that he's there. He's such a comforting presence at this point. And then i think it's weird that he is such a drama whore in a way, ha ha ha!!He skips 6 months, and then he posted this mysterious fucking "maybe I'm dying" blog post and then he just leavesand doesn't explain shit, lol>"things could be getting worse! There's all kinds of crazy shit happening! I'll keep you posted!" and then disappears.And no one sees him again for another six fkn months. The loon!
>>541786495He took your advice maybe
>>541784663Evil. ANDDumb.
>>541784663What an absolute garbage thread
>>541788636E V I L& D U M B.
>>541784663The north went on forever.Tyrion Lannister knew the maps as well as anyone, but a fortnight on the wild track that passed for the kingsroad up here had brought home the lesson that the map was one thing and the land quite another.They had left Winterfell on the same day as the king, amidst all the commotion of the royal departure, riding out to the sound of men shouting and horses snorting, to the rattle of wagons and the groaning of the queen’s huge wheelhouse, as a light snow flurried about them. The kingsroad was just beyond the sprawl of castle and town. There the banners and the wagons and the columns of knights and freeriders turned south, taking the tumult with them, while Tyrion turned north with Benjen Stark and his nephew.It had grown colder after that, and far more quiet.West of the road were flint hills, grey and rugged, with tall watchtowers on their stony summits. To the east the land was lower, the ground flattening to a rolling plain that stretched away as far as the eye could see. Stone bridges spanned swift, narrow rivers, while small farms spread in rings around holdfasts walled in wood and stone. The road was well trafficked, and at night for their comfort there were rude inns to be found.Three days ride from Winterfell, however, the farmland gave way to dense wood, and the kingsroad grew lonely. The flint hills rose higher and wilder with each passing mile, until by the fifth day they had turned into mountains, cold blue-grey giants with jagged promontories and snow on their shoulders. When the wind blew from the north, long plumes of ice crystals flew from the high peaks like banners.
>>541788636Maybe get a hobby besides wallowing in SHIT? lol
