Toki Cuisine
Before modern technology became integrated into toki culture, most tribes lived off a diet of foraged fruits and meats. They were also able to cultivate their own crops and invent recipes.
Agriculture

---|---|---|---|
Juk Fruit | This syrupy fruit contains extremely high levels of capsaicin. This fruit is repellent to most species but, delicious for tokis. This fruit grows on vines and produces large crops during the month of volcano eruptions . | ||
Sleefuit | This fruit is the favourite food of the slee. Under no circumstances must the mighty slee be eaten, but the sleefruit is a sour pulpy fruit for tokis to also consume. Sleefruit stalks must be planted in a deep body of water. |
Recipes

Fish Jerky | Fresh fish is seasoned with salt and spices then hung to dry nearby a smoky fire. This snack will stay preserved for years | |
Fruit Presents | What's inside? A selection of sweet foraged fruits are skilfuly wrapped in parcels of leaves. A favourite amongst younger tokis. | |
