[Sca-cooks] Fantasy foods was Sca-cooks Digest, Vol 5, Issue 43

Actually from reading and rereading the books I came to the conclusion
that Wherries are either Emu's or Ostriches.

What is the deal with the English language on Pern anyway?  How did they

lose all their food words in favor of descriptions? I guess 
"heardbeasts" instead of "cows" and "red roots" instead of "beets" 
sounded more Fantasy somehow.  Meh.  I was never sure what a "wherry" 
bird was anyway.  Turkey?  I never lived with one so I don't know how 
good a turkey is as an intruder warning system.  Ducks are great at that

though.

And didja ever notice how every planet has some kind of coffee, often 
with chocolate?  Klah, jaco, whatever you want to call it.  I think it 
says more about writers than alien worlds, frankly.
