isei-silva:

So I had an idea for a Highborne delicacy called ‘Nol’ (it is an unfinished word in itself, reflecting what the dish is)

It is a piece of succulent meat, seasoned and marinated, but only half of it is cooked all the way through. The other half is left raw. The entire meat is presented perfectly half-cooked and half-raw

It is easy to over and under cook this dish, as it requires constant attention to reach the perfect half and half ratio. A good challenge for a chef, and a way for the elite to show off that they could afford to have one chef to watch a piece of meat until perfection. 

Those less inclined to perfection can mimic this method of cooking just as easily at home or out in the world!
