Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
- Grab your current read
- Open to a random page
- Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
- BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (Make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
- Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
Today’s Teaser come from Book Two of George R.R. Martin’s Song of Ice and Fire series, and is especially apropos since I recently discovered the blog Cooking Ice and Fire which is Adam Bruski’s “journal of [his] ongoing efforts to cook every dish mentioned and described in Martin’s series and explore the history, real world references, techniques, and science behind each.” So with that, enjoy this week’s Teaser:

MY TEASER: “While singers sang and tumblers tumbled, they began with pears poached in wine, and went on to tiny savory fish rolled in salt and cooked crisp, and capons stuffed with onions and mushrooms. There were great loaves of brown bread, mounds of turnips and sweetcorn and pease, immense hams and roast geese and trenchers dripping full of venison stewed with beer and barley” (347).
