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 a maid in the Queen's chambers. I dust the furniture and wash her linens daily. I envy the Queen's wealth and admire her beauty. I desire to be just like her someday. I practice my cruelty on the other maid servants in the castle.
Hello my Lord, is there something you would like me to bring you? Just checking on how the food is coming along, maid. Oh of course, Sorry about the smell, the food will taste much better than the smell. The chef is making a very hearty and rich stew Ah, I thought that might be! What is it made from? Venison stew today Quite gamy, no? Anything to balance that out? Not the way the chef prepares it, It will be with a fancy salad and fresh rolls with butter.  Well no matter, that all sounds more than adequate!  You will be much pleased my Lord. I better be, maid! I have waited long for this meal. I understand sir, I don't know what the delay was, but I do know the food is scrumptous. Shall I go in and taste it for myself? Or is it not ready for that?
