   In Voyager, where Claire and Jamie are re-united, going to Mowbray’s for lunch (where they are unfortunately interrupted by Sir Percival, the swine), but then adjourn to a private room.

     Yes, Ruth! The peppery oyster stew — another favourite of mine as well…

   I also like the scene where Claire has to convince Jamie to eat a tomato…

     While other residents of the Ridge stand around and watch? That’s a great scene too, Beckh!

   I love the food in the books (besides loving everything else about them). I’m so happy you made this site. Your food from fiction was how I found Island Vittles. It’s impressive how Diana’s woven food into the story, the same way food is woven into our daily lives. I don’t really have a favorite, but one that sticks out in my mind is from Breath of Snow & Ashes, when Jem & Germaine get into the Cherry Bounce. I happened to be re-reading this book last year after Christmas when my mom sent me some Cherry Bounce and the leftover dried cherries. I’m mostly German so “the sauerkraut, sausages and… something involving corn & squash” sounds like comfort food to me.

     Laura – Cherry Bounce is so on my list of things to make! Love that scene.

   It’s the same one I posted before; the meal Jamie and Claire shared after their wedding night, in their room, while all the “witnesses” downstairs laughed and teased!

     It`s bread and beef, I think, Desiree? Mmmm…a fresh loaf of bread would sure smell nice right about now!

   I love the Turtle Soup scene. :)

     Too much Sherry in the soup can do terrible things to a girl!

   My favorite is in Dragonfly in Amber, I believe – it’s the night when all of the people of Lallybroch eat potatoes for the first time. I looooove potatoes, and it’s such a happy scene for everybody – socializing around fires, and eating potatoes in various ways with butter… YUM.
   • Theresa on November 7, 2011 at 1:26 pm said:

     Thanks Sarah — that’s the night with the cock-a-leekie soup. I love that scene too…
   • Beckh on November 7, 2011 at 11:53 pm said:

     That is my fav foodie scene too…

    It’s gotta be the barbecue. It’s always about the barbecue. I so badly need to re-read the books now….today.

      Christiane – You should have seen me “researching” for today’s poll — I know where all of those scenes are, but it took me hours because I kept indulging myself by reading whole chapters. Love it.

    The meal that Jamie and Claire shared in their room after the wedding night! ;)

      It’s a food poll Desiree, geez, get your mind out of the gutter! ;)

        I was talking about the food, Theresa! Whose mind is in the gutter?? ;)
