A Heortling barbeque is called a sacrifice.

As in the ancient world, very little meat is eaten that has not been sacrificed to the gods.

Heortling beef, being a prestige food, will rarely be eaten outside of a sacrificial context. You make sacrifice, you have a feast. No wonder everybody turns up for holy day ceremonies!

I imagine most Gloranthan cultures are the same. Greg's writings note that many in the Empire are almost entirely vegetarian in their diet.

Cheers

(Sorry Jeff, no gentle lobbing of prawns either. They deserve a better fate. :))
