An OOC word on prices: These prices are what Callie charges for her food if someone asks her what the totals are. ICly, the restaurant is a for-profit business. OOCly, however, it's merely designed to create unique RP opportunities here in the game, and if someone doesn't ask how much they owe, Callie doesn't charge them.
The exception is with meals that are delivered. They must be paid for, and the delivery driver is entitled to a minimum 50% tip (which they can negotiate downwards at their discretion).
Typically for a full meal among vulpines, the courses are served in this order: Bread, appetizer, soup or salad, entree, dessert.

{"jin-JOE-nah"}

{"ee-LO-ben"}
We use only the freshest colby jack cheese, and the highest-quality macaroni noodles from Verlosi'ka, to make the best iloben you've ever tasted. Complete with a secret ingredient! Excellent as an appetizer or as a meal in its own right.
⦁ Lingori'Naan
A specialty of the Lingorian Tribe. A baguette loaf cut diagonal two ways, and stuffed with butter mixed with seasonings (ground up celery and onion) and Lingorian keeza [Swiss cheese]. It's baked wrapped in foil until lightly crispy, and the cheese oozes everywhere! Just tear a chunk off by hand and bite into it! 2 mhl for a slice; 12 mhl for a loaf.

⦁ Cranberry sauce
Callie's own personal recipe. Each batch of cranberries is checked for any blemished berries before they come to your plate. Orange marmalade is stirred into it to thicken and sweeten it. Perfect for any occasion! Seasonal offering.
⦁ Kojo'makrini (Fire Peppers) ["ko-zho-mock-REE-knee"]
The hottest peppers you can possibly imagine, a Bijongo Tribe specialty. Perhaps their Scoville rating isn't all that impressive compared to ghost peppers, but when you bite into a Kojo'makri, you've got about two seconds to open your mouth and let flames come out of it before you fry your insides. You think I'm kidding? I am not kidding. If you're clever, you can learn to do tricks with them, like blow fire rings or shoot fire bullets. The fire is not hot enough to actually burn anything, and is designed for RP fluff, not for combat. Comes in a group of six, and is available in Red, Orange, and Blue.
Red Fire Peppers: Savory. Causes one to breathe red fire. You can also blow fire rings, make fire tusks, and shoot fire bullets.
Orange Fire Peppers: Spicy. Causes one to breathe white smoke. If you hold your breath, you can even make it come out of your nose.
Blue Fire Peppers: Sweet. Causes one to breathe blue fire. You can blow a rod of fire and blow a full plume like a lighter. It's hot enough to light a candle on fire.

⦁ Blackberry Lemon Bar
The tartness of the lemon filling balanced wonderfully with the sweetness of the whole fresh blackberry pressed lightly into the top and the light dusting of powdered sugar, all atop a shortbread bottom crust.
⦁ Spiced Brownies
A new take on the traditional brownie, a secret mixture of spices (chili/cayenne powder and cinnamon) mixed into the batter before baking to give the sweet softness of the brownie and hint of a spicy kick as well.
⦁ Blondies
Yet another take on the brownie, this time substituting the sweet milk chocolate of a traditional brownie for the rich and creamy taste of white chocolate.
