The Orc Heritage Armor questline is full of fascinating references and lore. Spoons and Forks is an ancient cookbook all the way from Draenor itself, and it reveals some unique flavor - the cuisine of different Orc clans!
Spoons and Forks
During the Orc Heritage Armor questline, one of the tasks Orc players are entrusted with is to prepare a Feast for the Ancestors, a great feast that is placed on an altar to draw the spirits of the Orcs' ancestors.
Since this feast is part of Kosh'harg, an ancient Draenor festival, the recipes we learn and prepare come from Draenor. However, we're helping to bring this tradition to Azeroth, and so need to remake the recipe using the ingredients that are available to us!
Before we can complete this quest, we are sent to obtain
Spoons and Forks
, a very special recipe book indeed. As its quest text reads, the book is "A very old cookbook describing orcish cuisine from Draenor." It belongs to
厨师托尔卡
, who explains the special history behind this unusual cookbook.
It's a family heirloom from before the Horde. Unusual for an orc. I know. My great-grandmother, Cook Barasha, collected recipes from all the clans at each Kosh'harg. As I understand it. she didn't trust anyone else to get it right, so she wrote it all down! We have stories of her awesome stubbornness...
Torka has made several notes on the pages of the book, substituting Azerothian ingredients when necessary. The effect is very similar to the Official World of Warcraft Cookbooks - which often have to substitute ingredients from our reality for ones that only exist in World of Warcraft!

Contained here are recipes from the many clans of Draenor, collected by Barasha the Bold, daughter Of Rokara.
May we forever be willing to put down both our axes and our grudges when called to the communal table for a warm meal.
(With notes by Torka, son Of Largosh.)
The Kosh'harg, the festival that the Orc Heritage Questline is based around, is a festival in which all the orcish clans put aside any rivalries to meet in peace for a grand celebration and feast. The recipes in this cookbook, therefore, each come from a different clan: The first being the Warsong, who apparently like their steak spicy!

Spicy Seared Talbuk Steak
From the Warsong Clan
Make a dry rub by combining ground peppercorns, flaked sea salt, and dried, crushed Gor'gor roots.
Thoroughly coat your talbuk steak on both sides With the dry rub. Let rest for up to 2 hours.
Sear your steak on a very hot stone for 3-7 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the cut and desired doneness.
Serve with mashed tubers and roc-bIood gravy.
(Note from Torka: The Warsong clan is renowned for their spicy dishes. So hot you can't help but belt out a battlecry! Unfortunately. the Gor'gor plant, which once grew near the Throne Of the Elements. is extinct. Luckily. the Zandalari trolls grow hot peppers in the jungles near Zuldazar, which I believe would be a fine substitution. As far as I know, Gorgrond Peppercorn trees still grow in areas of the Blade's Edge Mountains!)
The second recipe is from the Shadowmoon Clan. We are honestly a little disappointed that the revised fish doesn't use Shade Salmon - the bit of a little bit of Void energy sounds tasty!

Grilled Shade Salmon
From the Shadowmoon Clan
Cut shade salmon into thick steaks. Liberally apply salt, spice and cooking oil to the flesh, then grill over an open fire, 3-4 minutes per side.
Garnish With squeezed moonfruit juice and crushed starflowers. Serve With steamed umbracaps.
It is imperative that your fish steaks are freshly caught! Shade Salmon, while a delicacy. is touched by the shadows, and will become toxic if left out in the sun for too long.
(Note from Torka: unfortunately. Shadowmoon Valley was completely destroyed, so all of these ingredients will have to be replaced to capture the spirit of this recipe. I recall moonfruit being both sweet and sour, something we can replicate with lemons, grown on the Echo Isles by our Darkspear friends, and a little sugar. The Southfury river nearby has its own kind of salmon, and luckily, the Azeroth kind aren't cursed with void magic!)
Maybe in 10.1...

The third recipe is from the Laughing Skull clan, whose choice of ingredients are... interesting, to say the least.
Curried Botani and Lobstrok Stew
From the Laughing Skull Clan
In a large stew pot or cauldron, boil lobstrok pieces, still in their shells, in salted water for 20 minutes. Lower heat. then add curry spices and fenugreek. Open botani brain, and scrape the meat from the hard shell into the stew in large chunks. Simmer together until the botani brain is soft enough to easily pierce with a fork.
Be sure not to open your botani head until you are ready to begin the cooking, as the brains can dry out quickly once the hard shell is cracked.
(Note from Torka: Laughing Skull cuisine was notable for its complex spices and unusual ingredients sourced from the island Of Farahlon, often including sentient creatures! I believe we can replace these with similar enough plants and animals from Azeroth, like the crabs found on the Durotar coast, and coconuts native to Un'goro Crater. Though Farahlon is long gone, some of the native life has been preserved in the Eco-Domes in Netherstorm!)
Botani and Lobstrok... Yummy?
Finally, the Feast for the Ancestors, which is really just a combination of the previous three. it's meant to draw the spirits of the ancestors and, well,
it does
, a testomony to our Orc character's truly masterful cooking skills!

Feast for the Ancestors
The center piece of every Kosh'harg is a great feast placed at an altar within view of Oshu'gun, meant to draw the spirits of our ancestors to the celebration.
Every clan present at the Kosh'harg may contribute a meal of their own making to the feast, to bring honor to themselves in the eyes of the ancestors. Sometimes. specific favorite foods of those passed are placed. in order to summon them and receive their wisdom.
Along with food, barrels of ale or other alcohol is also traditional. The most important thing is that the ancestors feel included in the festivity as a whole.
Of course, what is a feast without ale? We retrieve a
一桶先祖淡啤酒
from
基尔卡恩
, who we find arguing with
考尔特·高斯登
- a fun little easter egg, since both of these Orcs come from Brewfest, and so take their ale very seriously.
Kyl'kahn
Don't mind us. We always get to arguing about which brews are better when we get together like this.
