I am so super excited to tell you about what you can expect to see this week right here on CulturEatz and on Heather’s blog All Roads Lead to the Kitchen! We are having a week long recipe battle in honor of the long awaited return of Game of Thrones to television. Season 7 premieres this Sunday July 16 2017.

Heather and I are both big fans and after a few email exchanges we settled on an epic GOT food week. Here is the plan: we will each take turns every other day posting 3 unique recipes each. And on Sunday July 16th we chose a specific theme we must both follow – but our recipes will remain a secret till our posts go live.

Make sure to visit our sites each day this week to see all our Game of Thrones inspired recipes!

My first recipe is an inspiration from one of the shows most infamous episodes ever. The title of that episode is “The Rains of Castamere” (s03e09) but most people know it by it’s nickname The Red Wedding. I actually just found out it was not the actual title of that episode. Did you know?

Spoiler alert…but hello you are 4 years behind!

So the show is about a wedding that kinda gets messy. The in-laws, they can be such a pain sometimes, right? So Robb Stark had promised to marry a woman of Lord Frey’s house. But Robb fell in love with someone else, married her, and offered up his uncle as the next bachelor up for marriage.

Lord Frey accepts and there is a big wedding and a feast. The honeymooners are whisked off for the bedding ceremony. But Lord Frey, he is pissed and he has a plan for revenge. He locks up the doors…and every member of the Stark family present pays for the betrayal with their lives! I bet your mother-in-law does not look that bad after all now.

So it’s party and there is a lot of food! But most scenes show plates of finished meals with a few leftovers…..that I could not guess. Only two foods are mentioned in the show: red wine and blackberries. Hence here is an elegant yet medieval and rustic blackberry galette recipe…heavily drizzled with a red wine sauce to mimic all the spilled blood.
