A Feast Fit For A (Clash of) Kings
You know the dilemma. Your liege lord has sent a raven explaining that he'll be paying you a visit three days hence; suddenly you need to prepare a feast for him, his family, fifty household knights and three hundred men-at-arms. You had your chef beheaded yesterday, and takeaway pizza hasn't been invented yet.
We've all been there. Fortunately, there's now an answer.
That's right, now you too can cook the finest in pseudo-fantasy medieval cuisine. Featuring a whole host of recipes - including the wonderfully decadent sounding 'quails drowned in butter', which if memory serves Janos Slynt chowed down on before having a disagreement with Tyrion -adapted for the more modern kitchen. Not impressed by that awful word modern? Fret not, apparently they also include the originals too.
It's a bit on the pricey side (well, it's actually about standard for a hardback cookbook), but this has gone firmly on my Amazon wishlist. If I ever get off my rectum and buy it I'll be sure to give a proper review, along with photographs of the ensuing carnage and a charming story about how "a friend" burned down the mead hall...
Update! Turns out that long before they made the cookbook, the folks who wrote it were already writing a blog about all this wonderful food. I'd go have a looksee if I were you...

Game Of Thrones Hip Hop Remix
It shouldn't really come as a big surprise that all of us here in TQG towers like HBO's monster TV show Game of Thrones, so when Gaf & Elizabeth circulated this video on Friday it caused much "a-woopin' and a-hollerin'" such is its brilliance.
What we have here, ladies and gents, is a rap song about George RR Martin's magnum opus. Created by Rapper-producer duo Dominik Omega and The Arcitype, it was uploaded to YouTube On May 13th and thus far has attracted over 168,000 views.
Do yourself a favour and take a listen...
