Today we picked up the official
"Game of Thrones" companion cookbook for the show
because who doesn't want to throw a big party
for your friends
every Sunday when you're watching the show,
and we're gonna try and make
some of the best dishes out of here.
All the ones that are really iconic,
I mean, everybody knows about the pigeon pie
that Joffrey eats at his wedding,
or a nice Winterfell breakfast.
So all those tasty dishes we are gonna put together
and then have a big party for our friends
because that's what "Game of Thrones" fans love to do.
Oh, yeah.
It specifically says that it's
"incredibly authentic tasting,"
and I think that that means kind of dense,
not great bread that people were eating in medieval times
before everybody figured out how to make
much more tastier bread.
I'm fine with that.
I'm all about the authentic
"Game of Thrones" food experience here, you know?
I feel like I could very easily kill a man
with just this very
brick of bread.
I don't know if Mary Berry would call it a good bake,
but I think I did my best.
So the Purple Wedding, everybody knows by that nickname.
But the real fun part of that is when
Joffrey takes a big old bite of his pigeon pie
and promptly chokes on it to death,
and it's really satisfying.
Really the poison was in the wine,
but the pie is the impetus for everything
because he starts to cough after he takes a bite of pie,
and then he gets his wine, and the wine has poison in it.
We are not poisoning our friends
at our "Game of Thrones" dinner party,
but we are going to serve them a delicious version of pie.
Joffrey Baratheon: Mmm, good.
Kim: Our pigeon pie today is not going to have pigeon.
I am from New York City.
I have a great respect for pigeons.
We are feeding them chicken pie instead.
Pigeons are like medieval chickens
that are just grosser.
Shae: Lemon cakes?
Sansa: No, thank you.
Shae: You love lemon cakes.
Kim: She actually mentions lemon cakes
so many times in the books
that it's become kind of a running joke
that all Sansa ever wants
is a lemon cake.
We actually went with a vegan version
because we didn't feel like cutting up
a bunch of random animals and putting them into a stew,
so we have a mushroom-based Bowl o' Brown.
This is the dish that Gendry and Davos actually bond over
when they're having a little one-on-one time
in the dungeon of Dragonstone
and they both reminisce about eating their Bowls o' Brown.
Davos Seaworth: When you get to Flea Bottom,
have a Bowl o' Brown for me.
Tyrion Lannister: And bacon, burned black.
You can't live in Westeros without being drunk
basically from morning till night.
And Cersei Lannister, of course, loves her wine.
