Alright, so, as we know, Skyrim and the Elder Scrolls in general is a large and diverse universe. But the creators of the games spent the majority of their time developing characters, quests, and story rather than really expanding on the nitty gritty details (like food).
This is actually a good thing. I'd much rather play in a universe with hardcore characters and only potatoes to eat than have a million foods available and 2D bland quest lines to go on.
BUT this is an rp, and as an rp, we have lots and lots more things to do and interact with and explore and enjoy. So, what I want to do is compile a list of things that we can all agree on as far as what to add to and what not to add to. Please also offer reasons as far as why or why not we should be including it into canon or not.

My decision as site owner will ultimately be the final one. I will listen to everyone's opinions and objections, but it will all boil down to wether or not I will allow it.

I shall start with offering my own thoughts:

Food:
I think we should allow for a wider range of foods. They will have to be canon friendly (no spaghetti or pizza or fried chicken) but a little bit more diverse enough so that each race has its options.
For example: fermented goat's milk is mentioned as a drink for the Bosmer but is not in game. So we can add that. But how about adding in fermented cow's milk? Roasted frostbite spider legs? Some troll steaks? I was mostly thinking about the Bosmer menu (as with their strict, carnivore diets they are limited) but we can also expand other menus as well.

Spells.
While we can always steal spells off the previous games and elder scrolls online as well, sometimes I think other spells are in order. For example: in conjuration, you can summon wolves. What about summoning frostbite spider? or summoning a troll? I believe those could be valid as well.
Of course, suggestions for new spells should be lore friendly and run past me.

THINGS THAT SHOULD NOT BE TOUCHED:
Aedra, Daedra, other gods, etc...
Of course, there may be a point where a new cult emerges that is all "Worship our goat god Baa", but it will of course not actually exist or do anything, and the religion will be wiped out by the end of a quest. But in essence, there will be no new added Aedra, Daedra or other gods to the pantheons.

Races
No new races. Also, if a race is dead (dwemer, snow elves, chimer, etc) they are dead FOREVER. Also: if a race in game does not appear in the Skyrim timeline (ie: sloads) then they won't appear now.

That's all for now. DISCUSS! And make your own suggestions too.

I agree with it all. Food options were limited to what was available I'd imagine. There was a lot of things you could cook, it just took basic ingredients.

As for the Aedra/Daedra/Othergods ; There actually IS a goat god. I forget which religion it is, but it's none of the Mainland races. Just a random trivia fact.

Races: Sloads are believed to be Extinct, even though they weren't/aren't proven to be entirely. But I do agree that it's safe to assume they are, with their limited numbers (Mostly found in deep cavernous tunnels with access to water) Which is quite limited on the mainland. Let's just say they are dead.
