Exotic food sales IRL

[ajb1978]

I love food and science in equal measure because they're one and the same. The kitchen is nothing if not a laboratory! Is anyone aware of a way to purchase some of the more exotic foods featured in this game? Everything/anything in this game at all, really. I know it's easily possible to buy acorn grounds, rose hips, reishi powder, and crumbled birch bark online. But especially where meats are concerned, if I wanted to genuinely try Ptarmigan or Red Irish Lord, well I'm not exactly gonna find that at the IGA down the road!

I've done a token Google search and turned up nothing. Does anyone here know of any business or anything that will source exotic ingredients? Ptarmigan, burdock root, cattail stalks, whatever!

Maybe try a Bass Pro Shop? A buddy of mine gets elk and boar through them. Maybe they can at least steer you in a general direction if not outright help you acquire what you're looking for.

Not sure if this is any good. I had issues downloading it. 

Just noticed the prices too.... Wow..

If you can't find anyone who sells those items, I would at least contact some of the more exotic food sellers and ask them directly.  Many times, they can find those rare items.  I'm sure they don't stock them because the demand is so low.

@Leeanda Yes, and you will pay a premium for stuff like that!

I didn't look at many but $1000 dollars for a few bits of bear....   It's cheaper to buy a gun and go and find one yourself..  .

I think the best place to start is researching the item's flavors and recipes associated (at least until you can get the genuine article for true comparison)

Online sources I'm finding compare burdock root to artichoke and ptarmigan compares with hare (rabbit) 

As far as ordering the items - I would look at the local meat markets and butchers that you have in your area and ask them. They should have access to "insider info" (suppliers) who wouldn't be available for online retail.

I’ll simply say agreed and indeed .

*coughs* But I’m sure you could acquire those ingredients at a reasonable price through… unofficial channels, if ya know what I mean . Not that I endorse or encourage that, of course…

[Bloodskye]

Of course lol

Not sure where you live but…. I know it’s not Nevada 😂

 All those items are ready and waiting for you in B.C., tastes better when you’re the one who harvested them too.
