Zireen eat various insects and worms. Although customs vary from one group to another, most don't eat meat from mammals or birds, but they will eat seafood and artificially grown "meat". Another favorite Zireen food is "mái" (stringy noodles), not to be confused with "mai" (an intoxicating beverage). This is often mixed with meat and spices, which is called "yì". Mizarians typically eat nuts and berries, even some varieties that are unpalatable to humans, and a few kinds of insects (but not as many as the Zireen). Acorn soup (skiech'tip) and cricket soup (kierikwich'tip) are examples of Mizarian foods that I have words for in the Chispa dictionary. Nikta will eat people of other (non-Nikta) species if they can get them. Their usual diet includes fairies. -- languages of Azir------> ----<http://www.io.com/~hmiller/languages.html>--- hmiller (Herman Miller) "If all Printers were determin'd not to print any @io.com email password: thing till they were sure it would offend no body, \ "Subject: teamouse" / there would be very little printed." -Ben Franklin
