Editing Neebrachters (section)

== CUISINE ==
The palette of the Neebrachters is influenced by the availability of exotic goods through trade with the Eastroam, Sadafeia and the colonies. While traditional fare inspired by their neighbors in the Fells and the Wetlands is commonplace, most dishes are often laden with the excessive use of foreign spices, a common complaint among visitors to the Republic from the interior of the Empire. With their ample access to imported foodstuffs, the Neebrachters have developed an extensive dining culture with restaurants and street vendors commonplace in the cities of the Republic. Most Neebrachters will spend their leisure time feasting; these feasts have become ostentatious displays of wealth among the rich burghers and craftsmen of the provinces and Neebrachters will often gorge themselves until they are sick at these gatherings. Because of this, obesity has become a common sight among the middle class and elite of the Republic and the Neebrachters wear it as a sign of pride and affluence; the saying goes, the larger a Neebrachter’s wallet, the larger his gut.
