🍴🍴🍴 Muharrem

Muharrem prefers traditional food of his father’s country, and the neighbouring Grecian cuisine far above and beyond what English and colonial fare provides. Many of the ingredients can be found anywhere – either by nature or by trade – but he has particular tastes when it comes to some, causing him to save his wages explicitly to purchase them so that he might be able to make the ship fare more bearable.
When on land, Muharrem is known to cook for the crew who have an interest in it – a small group will split off and put their money together for a feast, which Muharrem will direct quietly and result in a hearty meal for the lot of them that often leave the newer to it rather attached to the privy for awhile afterward. Muharrem considers it a hilarious compliment when those same men return for the farewell meal despite their experience with proper food.
Muharrem is not arrogant about much – but when it comes to food he does believe his father’s people to be far advanced over the British. He will never be able to comprehend why the English hold such a monopoly over spices they clearly have no notion how to use, nor any desire to learn how to implement.
