In The Glorantha Digest #153, Sandy supplied us with his opinions concerning typical Gloranthan peasant diets...

It has always been my opinion that most Orlanthi concider the goat to be unclean because of its potential relationship to broo/chaos. I think that pigs would replace goats in this case.

Sandy, thanks for the information...
