RE: how glidus should eat TWOW - obviously he should eat it whole, without steel but instead tearing it apart with tooth and nail, dressed as an aspiring khalessi as Khalt Shift X looks on with a simmeringly powerful mix of pride, fear and lust
Fuck you I love this
This should be the pinned comment 😂😂
oh my gods this made me let out the nastiest laugh, that visual is too funny!
I wud sub to that of ngl.
this made me neigh
Next is 5 hours of ranking garment descriptions (95% Sansa)
Ranking cultural norms
Do it you cowards
Another 3% are Littlefinger’s menagerie of multicolored doublets.
omg yess
Something something wool and doublet
the main reason we need Winds of Winter soon is so they don't get to ranking the sex scenes
To Glidus, technically, all of Winds of Winter is a food description.
Or a food INscription
I would argue that when Sandor describes his own face being melted as being “like a nice juicy mutton chop” counts as a food description.
i don’t like that you’re right 😟
That line was definitely written pre-lunch.
Actually I agree bc later on in another stream they also count the gross description with the dudes eyes floating in a dish of blood or sth
"nice juicy mutton chop" got me fucking howling
LEMON CAKES!?!?!?!?!? LEMONY LEMONY LEMON CAKES? WHERE ARE MY FUCKING LEMON CAKES - Every Sansa chapter
I mean, can you blame her? Beautiful bright lemon cakes iced with a sweet vanilla sugar glaze... yummy
Lemon cakes are delicious so it’s understandable.
She’s been through a lot she can have a little treat
Renley would have related to her since he loves cake also.
Lemony = Melony 🤔 now that's food for thought
Every woman should get herself a man who laughs at her jokes like Alt Schwift X laughs at Glidus jokes. So romantic. Such a cute couple.
Are they actually a couple?
Is Tyrek Lannister a horse? Of course, don't be silly
@@Spongebrain97 is Benjen Coldhands?
@@queeristhemindkiller depends on the continuity and if George is lying
@@Spongebrain97 "I don't think George writes characters who haven't been in love" -Glidus to Alt Shift X, discussing the cryptosexuality of Brynden "Blackfish" Tully
“A year ago I was scheming to make the girl Robert’s queen,” Renly said, “but what does it matter? The boar got Robert and I got Margaery. You’ll be pleased to know she came to me a maid.”
“In your bed she’s like to die that way.”
-- Renly and Stannis, A Clash of Kings
Stannis absolutely knew Renly was gay.
GRRM might not have meant it, but it could be a way of seeing Stannis caring enough about his brother never to hold his sexuality against him. He never told Robert, at least, since Robert doesn't even realize Loras is as gay as sunshine and praises him as the kind of son anyone would want.
Or Robert isn't homophobic and is more based than I thought
@@zenebean Hugo Lloris is my favorite asoiaf knight
Stannis' reply lives in my head rent free. I truly got mad when they forgot.
@Zayne Isgett Robert's opinions on homosexuality likely became a lot more open when he witnessed his five year old skin a cat alive
@@blueberryf1nch969 Yeah that might help give you perspective on things
The Catelyn breakfeast is great from a story perspective. Catelyn had refused to care of herself while she sat at Bran's side, never eating properly. After almost dying to the assassin she finally gets the resolve to live again and realises that she has been neglecting herself, Robb and everyone else.
When she asks for breakfast everyone is so happy and reliefed about it that they go over the top, cause they care. She temporarily developed a eating disorder out of depression.
and then relapses a bit when ned dies as well
I think it comes up when Bran and Rickon "die" as well.
Yeah, that line about it being “much more than she asked for” says a lot about the household caring for her and encouraging her to eat and keep her strength up. They’re looking out for her while all her attention is on Bran.
This 100%, it’s a touching testament to how much the Starks are loved by their commonfolk and a commentary on Catelyn’s state
I already posted a comment but another point. In the first third of Clash there's like five or six chapters in a row that juxtapose the food people are eating as political commentary. People starving in king's landing while Tyrek's wedding feast is flaunted. The harvest feast in the North. Tyrion eating like a king. Arya eating bugs and worms in the Riverlands. The summer feast with Renly's people, etc.
2:57:38 "daring tart" sounds like something Olenna would call Cersei 😂
Perfect comment.
I like how according to this tier list. Fish Stew from Theon II is somehow worse then a literal raw Horses heart.
The horse heart has verified freshness, unlike the fish stew. I mean, the chef prepared it right in front of her
@@zenebean the chef being the horse's chest
Catelyn's first food description does benefit the story! The food she gets is kind of normal, just a bit extra. She got more than she asked for, which says she probably didn't ask for much, that gives you a decent idea where her head is at. Also, the fact she was given more than she asked for tells you the people serving her care about her a bit, what with her son probably being dead soon, and want to cheer her up with blackberry preserves.
We can contrast it with the next meal from Bran, which is more like party food. They're celebrating his revival. Or not because that would have been like a fortnight ago, oh well.
I found that none of asoiaf's detailed food descriptions compare to being immersed in one of the ice-cold northern chapters, and reading the words "A hot meal".
YES. Especially when reading in winter and feeling slightly cold yourself
3 hours of peak content, the April fools joke is glidus actually took part in creating content instead of chilling in his mansion.
If he is in the mansion he could at least tell his father to write faster.
Glidus is rich? Where is he? Point Piper?
Instead of chilling in his tin roof shack under the overpass next to the airport
He has long been monetizing his lead-contaminated water and noise pollution

As a Scottish person, a blood pie seems like some kind of black pudding deal, which is essentially blood and spices and herbs so seems like id give it a go
oats too.
Right, exactly! I'm Hungarian, and we sometimes have pig slaughters and we always have the blood cooked with onions for breakfast, it's amazing with some fresh bread
@@SkullerMc now I want to try that, youve convinced me.
strangely enough that description does not convince me (i do not want to eat blood)
@@neonxvices But its so GOOD
Do a clothes description ranking. Mainly just descriptions of Sansa’s clothes, wedding dresses, doublets slashed and the dazzling array of snazzy clothes possessed by House Bolton.
I'm not sure the boys are equipped to judge sartorial descriptions to be honest
And after that, a sex scene ranking which won’t be awkward for anyone. It‘s only awkward if we make it so.
Followed by a fake death ranking, a ranking of each instance the word „plop“ was used, a weather ranking, a musician tier list excluding Ed Sheeran… The possibilities are endless, who needs Winds of Winter?

@@btarczy5067I love the fake death ranking idea
This is exactly why RUclips is my only source for video-based entertainments. Hours of food descriptions from a famous book series w/ idiosyncratic comments and pointless ranking. Something networks or streaming services can’t even begin to understand - this is what I want from media. Bless you two . S tier!
Dearest Glimbus, let me spin you a tale.
When I was a young, strange, not-yet-diagnosed-with-ADHD girl, I used to eat paper all the gd time. Paper, grass, flowers, I was out here eating weird sh*t all day. And while every part of the dandelion is indeed edible, as I would tell the visibly weirded-out other children, paper is not. The day I finally stopped consuming it was the day I ate a full page of notebook paper and felt very ill afterwards. I beg of you, please do not eat the winds of winter. We all know how many pages it is likely to be. We will all let you off the hook for your brazen declaration. Be well, don’t eat tree seasoned with dye and bleach ❤
Your friend,
Nikki
I had the same experience, but discovered that if you eat enough, you will stop feeling sick from it.
I'm still a bit concerned about his health, though. I feel like the best way to do that would be to make it into soup and eat it over the course of many days. These books have a *lot* of pages
@@hithedragon7842 a winds of winter chowder perhaps? 🤣
@@nicolablackwood1286 or a milkshake ! Sugar helps the medicine go down, so it could work with ground WoW paper 😅
It's not really a big concern - hi will only eat the book if it comes out, and it never will. So it's fine.
If he really did have to eat the book, maybe he could do it slowly, over several years, consuming small pieces of paper at a time.
🥺
Fermented mare's milk is a real traditional alcoholic drink in Mongolian culture. It is amazing. It's nice refreshing drink with enough alcohol content that you can get sufficiently drunk on. It's tough to describe what exactly it tastes like, but it is a must try for anyone passing around that part of the world.
The Mongolian dream: conquer your neighbours, relax with some fermented mare’s milk. Conquer your new neighbours, relax with some fermented mare’s milk. Rinse and repeat until you conquer the world or run out of milk.
14:00 As someone who comes from an ex-nomad people, yeah, everything used to be horse-based. There were only horses around and whatever they could trade (like flour, oil and such), so all the food was very heavy (so that you don't need to stop often) and related to horses. A lot of fermented stuff because you don't have a fridge and you need to preserve the milk somehow. I never tried araka or kumys, but some people swear by it.
The pastry - mostly simple dishes from flour and water or flour and milk, fried in oil.
That's fascinating
I’m just curious if you’re willing to share. What nomad culture are you from?
@@rainbowchewynuggets well, my people were part of the Mongol empire until we separated from them. That's actually what the name of the people means, Kalmyk, - separated. Historically we were called Oirat Mongols.
@@basang32 That's really interesting. I'll have to read about them sometime. Thanks for sharing. :)
@@basang32Oh! That place betwen Volga and Caucasus? Aren't you like the biggest Buddist community in Europe?
Sansa is the snail. She’s removed from the safety of Winterfell (her home) and forced to cannibalize her own identity for the pleasure of Joffrey.
Holy shit
👍
And that's why the curtains were blue

Stannis knew Renly was gay, he mentions how Margaery Tyrell is like to die a maid if she stays with Renly. Stannis is practically Renly's dad, which is why their fight is tragic
They definitely knew each other well even if they didn’t like each other.
Catelyn 3 AGOT shows how Catelyn's house staff was willing to ignore her commands out of concern for her nutrition
2:22:34 it’s a neat touch that Jon and Sam are sick of eating the food that Arya and Danny had run out of and would die for right now
Stannis' gaydar is working alright, and people forget he has some sass too. Cat III, ACOK:
"[...] The boar got Robert and I got Margaery. You’ll be pleased to know she came to me a maid.”
“In your bed she’s like to die that way.”
Anyway, the two of you, together and separately, are the gift that keeps on giving, I feel like we are in some sort of ASoIaF content Renaissance lmao. Thanks for making my Sunday very pleasant! And providing even more re-watch hours for not-so-pleasant days
And during Ramadan as well… you guys are brutal. Will still listen to it all the way 💕✨
Yeah thanks shwifty😢 from all Muslim viewer's
Gonna have to hit up the Allah Snackbar later
Lmao fr & Ramadan Mubarak to you 🌙
Ramadan mubarak, and April fool's!
Ramadan Mubarak 🌙 to y’all too
My guess for Dothraki bloodpies would be horse blood mixed with some kind of grain or flour (likely traded or raided for) and spices, and then heated. There are similar blood-based pastries here in Sweden, like blodpudding, blodplättar and blodpalt.
Blood pudding is exactly why I thought of, too.
Jep, we have those sausages here in Austria (Blunze). They're very alike to blood pudding.
Yummy blackpudding
Ah yes I do remember the blodpudding dagar in school
Why tf does every culture NEED to eat blood😂
My mom used to eat heated pigs blood as a kid...it was just A THING.
Now its not allowed to be sold at butcher shops anymore (in Sicily)
Chickpeas are originally from Asia Minor (Turkey) but they were grown in Italy by the Romans. More recently people successfully grow them in England, so while they need a temperate climate they certainly can be grown in relatively cool climates. Chickpeas main virtue is that they can be dried and used in winter, so the Nights Watch probably import them from other areas of Westeros or from Essos (impounded perhaps).
I love that he mentioned acorns as food. It's very much under-estimated. There were entire bronze age woodland cultures that started living mainly on acorns. The bitterness and poisoning quality comes from the tannins in the acorn, which are water soluble. They filled large earthen basins with water and washed out all the tannins of a huge amount of acorns, which are plenty in the forest and which can be stored for a long time, even somewhere as simple as a hole in the ground.
So next time you guys are going to rank all the overly detailed sex descriptions? We’ve got to do it if only for the PINK MAST
myrish swamp
Probably can't do that on RUclips
Ummm it’s a FAT pink mast
I think this would have gone even better as an alignment compass. Horizontal line=how much you want to eat it, vertical= how much the description is relevant (describes character, foreshadowing etc).
Yes but also the video would have been 5 hours long
I was on the fence about the Tyrion Targaryan theory until you reminded me of him demanding burnt bacon. Obvi dragon noms
It’s not an Ice & Fire book until you’ve got your trenchers, your capons, and your bacon burnt black.
Robert really travelled all the way to winterfel and the first thing he says to Ned in 15 years is "when was the last time someone busted in your mouth"
What a bro
Diving into the imagery of Joffrey feeding the snail to sansa, snails are soft and flacid which could also be a representation of Joffreys lack of attraction towards Sansa since she doesnt know he hates her yet but we find out later he does, so the snail represents Joffreys flacid attraction

GEORGE LOOK WHAT WE ARE RESORTING TO! RELEASE WINDS! WE ARE RANKING FOOD DESCRPITIONS!!!!
jokes aside this stream did remind me of just how good the peach scene really is. such a great dramatic construction all around, everything about it rules. there's a literalism + theatricality to the metaphor that makes it pretty much the most shakespearean moment in all of ASOIAF
Just realized that the orange fight Bobbie B describes is a parallel to Arya throwing the orange at Sansa later
every time I re-read the book I end up craving cheese & charcuterie boards with olives and mead and bread and… my fridge is empty …
Made and ate breakfast while watching this. Fried eggs, pork sausage, brown toast, an orange, some peach jam and a coffee to wash it down with. Cheers!
Solid A tier

The fermented mare's milk is just kumys, a mongolian/kazach extra fermented yogurt, it can be made rather strong in alcohol content, never tried tho. Probably sucks in terms of taste, but makes perfect sense for a society that doesn't grow plant-based things to make cheap drinks from. Also, dishes from blood are a thing, it comes down to letting blood curtle and boiling it until it thickens. I don't like it personally, but some people I know do. Where I live it's usually made into sausages, wonder what a pie would look like actually. It's cheap too, but takes time to make
I was fascinating by listening to them not knowing how to use blood as food. I didn't know this is such an unknown thing, I mean c'mon, *black pudding*?
I fucking love black pudding
What we need is an ASOIAF reference book with descriptions & pictures of all the oddball plants, edibles, and creatures native to the lands of Westeros, Essos, and Sothoryos.
“Have you ever had goose eggs?”
“I tried to, but it was pretty defensive”
The Ramadan realization 2+ hours in is peak April's Fools energy
Ive always said GRRM describes two things immaculately, but you only ever want to hear one of them described in painful detail. Food and sex.
Regarding random country mentions. In the norwegian translation of fire and blood, Visenya is described as having a «spartan» beauty to her. Dont know what the original text is, but thought it would be interesting to share
That's a backhanded compliment if I've ever heard one lol
@@taylorleibel4327 depends on your view of spartan women, they all exercised before marrage and where known for their beauty, Helen of troy was spartan herself. Spartan can also mean minimalist, unfancy, void of decadency.
id interpret spartan beauty as lithe, and athletic but in an austere, cold way, very severe angles and little softness
So you're saying Visenya is a dommy mommy confirmed
@@evannesbitt7852 her cutting Aegons cheek to convince him her idea of the Kingsguard was necessary supports that
description: "smells like horse shit"
glimbus and schwifty: "thats a C"
IDK if yall were kidding or know by now, but aurochs were cattle that stood about 155-180 cm tall with 130 cm long horns, so saying six was a lot of meat is abit of an understatement. They went extinct in 17th century(the last cow died in 1672, so about 200 years after the Americas were widely acknowledged as discovered.)
13:35 Yakult is a fermented milk drink that people do make cocktails out of, so there's that
Yeah, I'm pretty sure the fermented milk is an idea he got from Mongolian steppe dudes
I also think of cream based alcohols like Baileys
Something about the way you guys flash the slightly blurry letters up on screen keeps reminding me of those old overhead projectors in school. 10/10 substitute teachers
Gotta love when Glimby and Schlimby stream.
First Thing: I think the importance of the breakfast for Catelyn while in WInterfell could show like the dedication of the winter fell staff to the stark family. Like Catelyn's just gone through this mess and maybe the kitchen is trying to send their emotional support in the form of food?
Second Thing: Are lizard lions Komodo dragons or something similar? Komodo's have venomous bites but idk if the lizard lions do, but the venom aspect definitely seems like Neck-ish
Yeah, the fact she 'didn't ask' for what she was sent shows the care of the staff for the lady of winterfell
Really enjoyed this one. It's a great topic because it lends itself to talking about the books from a 'micro' perspective (the actual craft of the writing etc.), while stuff like theory or character discussion (which is also great obv) often defaults to a 'macro perspective'.
If I wasn't already a book reader, this'd honestly be the type of stream that I reckon would get me into the books.
I've been listening to the book in full for the first time, and coming back to this video every time I finish a chapter that had a food description in it. And it's low key horrifying to realise how many food descriptions didn't make it into this video, like Joffrey and Sansa's fish and wine on their first date, or Joffrey's arm for Nymeria which is easily an S tier as are all things that cause Joffrey misery.
Like I always say, misery is the best spice
i think you are wrong about the first Cat one. What that tells us is that the people of Winterfell care more about her than servants normally do in the south. If Tywin asked for something, he would get exactly that, when Cat asks for less but they think she needs more, they bring her more.
Turnips, carrots, potatoes and onions seem to be in almost every meal.
And barley. I'm going to buy some tomorrow so I can eat some stew 😋
Update: I made some ASOIAF inspired stew. It was beef and barley stew with huge chunks of potatoes and carrots. That shit was a 10/10, wow. Sadly, I can't post a recipe because I cook freehand, but all I know is GRRM knows his shit
Man, I wonder what GRRM’s favorite vegetables are
I mean for a medieval setting there’s no refrigeration, so any foodstuff quick to spoilage becomes much less common outside of wherever its grown. So hearty root vegetables that can last a month or two after harvest are going to often be on hand.
Fermented mares milk is definitely a thing, it was pretty big in Mongolia at one point and probably still is.
Yup, this is called airag (sp?) and has been produced since at least Gengis Khans time.
3 hours and 47 min of guilty pleasure of listening to the best pair in RUclips, they complete each other, witty, funny, smart just fantastic.
Listening to this while at work as a chef is inspiring
„have you ever put oranges in wine“ - my dudes, have you ever heard of Sangria?
British peasants
My favourite mention of a real world place in a fantasy setting is in the English dub of Mewtwo Stikes Back. Team Rocket are disguised as vikings (it makes no sense in context either), Brock says "i didn't know vikings still existed" to which Ash quips "they mostly live in Minnesota". So not only do vikings conically exist in Pokemon, so does the state of Minnesota and so does the Minnesota Vikings football team.
i'm no food person, but i know "kebab with mushrooms" is a common enough craftable food item in rpg games that it probably exists *somewhere* irl already
Americans often put mushrooms on kebabs.
@@jenniferpearce1052 angry Turkish noises
Beer with lemon juice in it is the shit and I’ve been doing it for almost a decade after reading Asoiaf.
I’m pretty sure there’s a line in ACOK at the parley where Renly says that Margaery came to him a maid, and Stannis responds with “in your bed she’s like to stay that way” so he probably did hear the rumours about Renly’s sexuality.
The most memorable one for me was a meal Jon Snow ate at the wall. After reading about the cold beer, bacon and eggs I went to sleep and dreamt about it all night. In the morning I had to have some of that! Luckily I had all the ingredientes handy. The best boiled egg I ever had.

Oh but I won’t forgive that you missed my superchat about how I’ve immortalised Glidus as a cryptic reference in my own writing, I’m tempted now, as an act of vengeance, to refer not to you but to that foul bastard Alt Shift X instead
Battle lines are being drawn the Bastard of Gildus have drawn first blood, it’s my solemn duty to announce that my half brother altschwift hill, an EMISSARY to the bastard of Gildus was cut down by their hands
I would like to dedicate this video to my felled brother
My favorite is waking up long enough to hear "never met him" followed by rich laughter 🤣
I think Aegon's conquest would be much better as a movie instead of a full show.
When Alt is in a livestream talking about writing elements he reveals himself as "That English teacher who asks why the drapes are red"
I’m so sad I missed the most compelling and insightful asoiaf content stream of all time 😔
I was having so much fun listening to you all rank George R.R. Martin's food descriptions that I decided to write my own in the style of based off my lunch for today!
"The meal readily filled his gnawing stomach, the earlier grumbling quickly forgotten. He sat before a large bowl of pasta mixed with cheese and seasoning, the hot steam lashing across his face and squinting his eyes. Next to the bowl were crisp rice crackers that snapped with each bite between his teeth. He finished with a ripe orange, the juice running between his fingers as he consumed its pink flesh."
Love the description. But hate the food lmao
Lol pretty good
"The still warm, viscous fluid rushed from the mommy mammary and delightfully filled SweetRobin's mouth with the taste of teat"
Heres a description of my lunch break! (For context i work at a drugstore lol)
"She hurdled to the break room table, desperate to satiate as much of her incredible hunger as possible with what little time she had before she had to return to the grueling task of sorting the vast array of potions and creams on the shelves of the apothecary. She pulled out a concoction of soft wheat bread inlaid with cooked chicken breast laid on strips of crisped bacon and lettuce with a rich creamy sauce, the crumbs settling on the edges of her hungry mouth. She devoured the meal in 5 minutes and washed it down with a soup of coffee bean powder drowned in a thick sugary syrup and plenty of milk. She wiped her mouth on the sleeve of her tunic, and prepared herself for the toils and battles with angry customers that lay ahead of her."
@@Stanzaawashere I think we've started our own sub-genre!
Schwift and his many basterd children will be adapted into an HBO mini series
Heard about a alt schwift snow show
George makes the fermented mare's milk sound bad, but it's a real thing called kumis, and apparently it's pretty good - mare's milk is higher in sugar than cow's milk, and it apparently tastes like Calpico, if you've had that. Actually, Calpico modeled its flavor after kumis, so that's how good it apparently is
I'm so ready to listen to this and fall asleep. Perfect timing lads
Always assumed dothraki blood pies were similar to a black pudding
Another thing, I think grrm is going off of a more historical version of wine that's more sour and fermented and weird, so to sweeten it with honey would make sense if for just a lighter meal
Honeyed wine I believe is just another term for mead. As it is essentially just fermented honey wine with any number of fruits and spices
I always assumed it was regular wine that they then added honey to to sweeten it
@@theleviathan3902 this very well could be true also!
Funfact: a lot of the cow's milk we drink is probably from "virgin" cows, given that artificial insemination is commonly used on them these days as opposed to introducing a bull for breeding. So, yeah, "virgin milk" ain't so uncommon.
I think Catelyn III, AGOT may be trying to emphasize the homeyj feeling of Winterfell for Catelyn so, when she leaves, you can understand her homesickness/nostalgia on a more visceral level. I feel like the hot spring water that pumps through the castle walls and abundant furs all contribute to that as well; it all conveys "cozy". Also, to emphasize that it was more than she asked for could imply she didn't ask for much bc she's worried sick about Bran but the servants of Winterfell are concerned for her wellbeing. More "homey, safe" vibes.
also "honeyed wine" is prob mead, if you've never had it at a renn faire: that shit slaps hard
The best food scene will be Glidus eating Winds
The KFC on Everest doesn’t doesn’t serve chicken meat
Fry bread is a Native American dish that's exactly what it sounds like: fried bread, eaten alone or with sweet or savory toppings. It comes from when Native Americans were being displaced from their homes by European colonizers and were unable to farm their traditional food staples, and were given basic ingredients by said colonizers which they turned into fry bread.
I love that humand everywhere fucking LOVE fried stuff.
My family (Sicilian but idk if it has anything to do w that) takes bread thats gone stale and puts it in milk and then egg. Then we fry it!
Its delicious!
We usually eat it on its own but some put sugar on it.
This stream truly proves that they can make anything interesting thru literary analysis.
These guys are a fucking riot. I could honestly listen to them talk about non asoiaf stuff. Like we're already scaping the bottom the barrell here, yall should just make a podcast already.
Alt Shift Cooking needs to be a thing now
Alt Shift Fresh. Alt Shift Fast. Alt Shift C-Salt. Alt Shift Mash.
2:21:40 if it ends in "ose" it's a sugar. Glicose, fructose, sucrose, lactose. DNA is actually also built with a sugar backbone with a sugar called deoxyribose. It's the "deoxyribo" in deoxyribonucleic acid.

A genuinely interesting and different ranking idea would be ranking all animals in ASOIAF. Everything from the direwolves to Ser Pounce. The more you think about it the more animals you could rank… Coldhands elk, one-eye, Stranger, Dog, the fucking rat that Theon eats.
truly a feast for crows
About Dunk and Egg, honestly I don’t think more novellas would be that big a distraction. Each one is 100 pages or so each, which shouldn’t take long at all if George truly has each plot figured out sufficiently. No massive interweaving plots or “knots” to worry about.
I wonder if Tyrion’s little fish are sardines. For some reason the image of Tyrion with just a can of sardines makes me laugh
I really feel like Robert and Ned be having two different conversations at the same time. Like King Robert is always covertly flirting with Ned, but Ned refuses to take the bait 😅😂.
Before I even watch it, I have never forgotten the bowl of shrimp and persimmon soup that Dany eats because WTF is that?
I believe they forgot to rank that time Ramsay made Lady Hornwood eat a special meal for their wedding
The ASOIAF ranking I didn't know I needed right now.
Actually very informative!
