The kitchens of the tower are a giant kabob of tables and cans of herbs and various condiments. Some VERY fresh meats are found here as well. So fresh they are... well, alive. You see holding cells for various fowl and beast in a pen in the room. The smell is not very pleasant, but the food generally tastes a lot better.

I am a king of the whole empire. I give rules and pursuit them. I am brave and fearless.
Those animals are quite malodorous! I know I value fresh meat, but this is a little ridiculous. Your Majesty! Why its quite the honor to have you in my kitchen! Yes, yes... honor, honor. There is cow poop smeared down the side of the stove, and a chicken just pecked my scepter. What is the meaning of all this? It may seem a bit much, but fresh game like those caged doves are a true treat! I spare no expense for his highness's palette.  This isn't about sparing expense. This is about cleanliness. Are you trying to kill me? I am sorry about the...umm fertilizer. Its just that ol' Besse makes better milk if she can roam free you know. Perhaps, but I shouldn't have to wipe crud off my kitchenware. What is the plan for dinner? I was thinking, my lord of roast venison and mint jelly from my fresh herbs over there, paired with tomato soup...freshly picked of course and a custard tartlet for dessert.  Fresh, fresh. I see. It had certainly better taste good. Please add a hearty dose of basil to the tomato soup. It really brings out the taste. And I'll need some wine tonight. I need to drink something to deal with the fact that my royal kitchen is a barn! If my lord has a taste for adventure, I have also acquired some fresh..very fresh sea slugs that pair well with white wine. Sea slugs? I'd rather not. Save the sea slugs for the donkey! Very well. Would you like to pick tonight's buck from the pens over there?
