Froturnish Hoe Cake

Froturnish Hoe Cake, also known as "Froturnish Fried Dough", is a popular dish in the Kingdom of Froturn, particularly among the lower and middle classes. It is made by mixing flour, water, and salt to form a dough, which is then rolled out and cut into small, flat pieces. These pieces are then fried in a pan or on a griddle until they are golden brown on both sides.

Froturnish Hoe Cake can be served plain, or it can be topped with a variety of ingredients such as sour cream, cheese, or bits of fried meat. It is also common to mix in bits of diced onion or garlic for added flavor.

Froturnish Hoe Cake is often enjoyed at festivals and celebrations, and it is a favorite of travelers and soldiers due to its cheap cost and ease of preparation. It is also a popular street food, with vendors selling it from carts or stands throughout the kingdom.

Despite its popularity, Froturnish Hoe Cake has faced criticism from some members of High Elven society, who view it as a low-class food. However, it remains beloved by many and continues to be a staple of Froturnish cuisine.

History
The origins of Froturnish Hoe Cake are disputed, with some claiming that it was introduced to Froturn by the dwarves, while others believe that it was a staple food of the ancient Proto-Elves. Whatever its origins, it has become an integral part of Froturnish cuisine and is often served as a snack or as a side dish.

Just like the origins of the dish itself, the origins of the name "Froturnish Hoe Cake" are also disputed. Some believe that it comes from the fact that it was traditionally made using a hoe as a rolling pin, while others believe that it is named after the tool because it was a staple food of farmers and other rural workers. However, the true origins of the name are unclear and there is no conclusive evidence to support either theory.
