Speak to Gourmande the Cook
QM: oh no! Just like in most ttrpgs, I will give a bonus for any write-in speeches that feel particularly compelling or exhibit good roleplaying (eg as I did here)

Yazdegerd cowers in horror. It is one of the accursed Half-Men! Disguised as a cook! The Half-Men, creations of the Dolorous Lord Hokkien from the Age Of Five Suns and Five Eyes, stolen from the fetid jungles of Hamazakaran... They who slew the wise wizard Namuras The Sage, lent aid instead to Faldnag Bridge-Breaker, Ruin Of The Fallen Fire, and brought Doom to the hero Mollug Griefbearer. Yazdegerd collapses in a shuddering near-swoon flailing next to the beggars in despair.
Tharfish the Dwarf narrows his eyes in suspicion.- Cooking is a curious profession for a halfling. The only halflings I know dwelt in savage lands beneath a Dark Sun, and they were cannibals, such as the Seqalu tribe, whose lands were annexed by Sekimon and Imperial Langkasuka Of The Lotus and Cannon. Now what ingredients go into that stew...?
Gourmande replies indignantly:
- Better ingredients than... iron filings, rust flecks, beard grease and singed armpit hair, or whatever it is that you have been eating! And if this is your way of begging for a taste, it is not working!
The Halfling cook shakes his ladle threateningly, as the beggars recoil a little.
