Cuisine
Bothanian cuisine has developed over the course of centuries of social and political changes. With roots in antiquity and heavy influence from the palates of Vaniu and Ekuosia, Bothanian cuisine is noted for its heterogeneous tastes and large degree of simplicity; Bothanian cuisine traditionally relies on the quality of ingredients rather than elaborate preparation. Dairy, fish, rice, legumes and fruits form a large part of the Bothanian diet and the country is noted for its significant diversity and quality of wines, cheeses, coffee and confectionary.
Lamb, beef, goat, chicken and seafood form the base of the Bothanian diet and are commonly prepared with vegetables and starches in a soup or stew fashion or are salted or pickled, especially in the desert interior. Food stalls are popular around the country, often selling confectioneries or meat-based street food.
Bothania has a long and storied confectionery tradition dating back to the recording of fruit pastry recipes by Iovist monks in the third century CE. Bakers’ confections such as pastries, tarts and cakes are staple desserts across the country, while Bothanian chocolate and sweets are widely appreciated. Ice cream is also commonly eaten as a last course and is traditionally accompanied by fruit and a cup of coffee.
Sport
Association football is by far the most popular spectator sport in Bothania and is traditionally considered the country’s national sport. Governed by the Bothanian Football Federation, the Bothania national football team competes in in international competitions such as the SIFA World Cup. Clubs compete in the Bothanian league system, which is headed by the Bothanian Championship, as well as the knockout Bothanian Open Cup. Football’s main competitors for viewership are rugby, handball and volleyball.
