After a bit of thought, I realized that having to locate both the recipe
and the quiverberries by means of magic would be a bit redundant. So now I
think that the recipe for quiverberry pie was not exactly lost; however, it
was mostly forgotten because quiverberries were increasingly scarce, and
thought to be extinct. When the clan's ancestors said that disaster was
imminent unless they could win the cooking contest, Barbeena started
looking for a truly exceptional recipe. One of the clan's elders
remembered that her grandmother had once had a piece of quiverberry pie,
and could still taste it until the day she died. So Barbeena asked her
goddess if any quiverberries still existed anywhere, and thus the whole
scenario was set into motion.
How's that?
