Re: Narnian food!
That’s kind of you to offer, Lil. I’d love to take a peek at those recipes!

Re: Narnian food!
I love gooseberry fools. We have two gooseberry bushes in the old garden that usually yield just enough for a batch and some straight-into-the-mouth eating, so as soon as I found a recipe for gooseberry fools in a cookbook (it is translated so I suspect it took me several years to find out that's what they were, though ), that's what I started doing with them.
And I shamelessly wrote them into one of my Narnia stories.
... which reminds me in a roundabout way that last year, I wrote a whole story about the marmalade in Mrs Beaver's marmalade rolls, and did some research into what those rolls may have looked like, and never got around to trying them out...

That’s cool, marmota! (Gotta love it when you enjoy a food so much that you write about it!)

Re: Narnian food!
Just you wait till I write in blueberries somewhere!
In more seriousness, I do smuggle in foods I like but have to do it very carefully and choose them carefully so that it makes sense in the Narnian context. It's a bit silly to write characters who enjoy your own favourite food; it would be silly for me to write about a Narnian character whose favourite food is my favourite Moravian Wallachian soup... But if your character ought to enjoy their food, it makes sense to write it from the position where you do enjoy it yourself, in a "write what you know" kind of sense.

Re: Narnian food!
So I found a recipe a while back for the drink that Jadis gives Edmund. It's called "Edmund's Downfall"; It was really good and my family loved it! I didn't have egg so I used half a banana instead and it was WOW! Like, if Jadis gave me it, I would have told her anything she wanted. Especially when I was a kid! Also, it tastes like Mexican champurrado
