Okay... so... in the universe of my book, Elves are vegetarians. It's sort of a cultural thing. They feel like it's immoral to eat the flesh of a living being. Many of the humans and other races who live amongst the more elf-populated countries will adopt this belief too.
But unfortunately I see no examples of purely vegetarian food-cultures on Earth, so I have no idea what these people would eat all the time. It isn't as if they're abstaining from meat for health reasons (though it may explain why elves tend to be more lithe), so looking at vegetarian cuisine on Earth may not be accurate either.
Also, the elves in the area I'm concerned with live in a lush tropical area where fruit can grow quite easily. So they have no shortage of edible plants to work with.
But anyway. Help me make an elvish vegetarian food culture please...? oAo;
