Gabyrian cuisine

The cuisine of the Free City of Gabyr is a highly varied one that is difficult to assess for certain, due to the highly diverse demographics of the insular city-state. As implied by the previous statement, Gabyr's diverse racial and cultural groups - that are largely not native to the island - have brought their own culinary traditions with them whenever they arrived on the island out of their own free will, which means that to a certain extent, Etrandish, Etrancoasti and various other continental cuisines had a considerable influence on Gabyrian cuisine. Nevertheless, the influence of native Nereid diet and the city's position on their cuisine is also undeniable. The fact that Gabyr has always been the bridge between East and West also had some influence on their cuisine.

Alcoholic
Out of all available alcoholic beverages, Gabyrian Sour Wine is the most iconic one in Gabyr, very famous and considered a must-try delicacy for more affluent visitors to the island. However, much to the surprise of outlanders, it isn't the most frequently drunk or widely available alcoholic beverage in the city-state: imported Froturnish wine, Etrandish beer and Etrancoasti whisky are all cheaper and more readily available than locally produced lemon-wine. One's preferences in alcoholic beverage largely correspond to one's race, with humans preferring beer or whiskey, Elves preferring wine, the Nereids preferring specifically citrus-wine, etc.

Non-alcoholic
Other than tea - which originally wasn't native to the island, but was introduced to Gabyr from Dragoc - Gabyrian cuisine was never too rich in non-alcoholic beverages, other than ones imported from abroad. Seawater is undrinkable, and even water from rivers and lakes isn't always realiable without boiling - and if someone bothers to boil the water in ther first place, they might as well make it into a tea or an alcoholic beverage, right?

Other non-alcoholic beverages, such as milk of any kind (with the exception of possibly hemp milk and rice milk) - dairy milk, soy milk, almond milk - have always been luxuries in Gabyr, being seldom really accessible in wide a large quantity. They typically preserved dairy by converting it into cheese and integrating it into their diet, as drinkable milk spoilers extremely quickly. Only hemp milk and rice milk are available widely, because they are relatively easy to produce, and are made from widely available ingredients.
