The following information is just to help you understand more completely about the foods that elves will eat and enjoy. In the servery you are most likely to find a selection of fruits and possibly cheeses for light meals. That does not mean you will not be asked to provide a more substantial mean for one or more of Shalafis guests. If that is the case, you have access to the kitchen, the pantry and the cold room. Do not hesitate to use them.

Elves can subsist on any food palatable to humans, although their tastes are generally more discerning. Their preferences are clearly toward delicate foods and wines, particularly those that possess a great degree of subtlety. Heavier foods, such as beef and coarse bread, can distress the elven stomach if eaten too often.

Humans usually find elven food unsatisfying, for the portions are too small. Elves, of course, require less food than do humans.

Elves tend to be more vegetarian than humans, for this has less of an impact on their environment.
