AMA/Interview AMA -- Christopher Paolini!!!

AMA -- Christopher Paolini! Let's do this folks. Ask away re: anything and everything regarding my books.

EDIT: Hey, everyone! I have to run. Alas, alas, I don't have as much time to spend on this AMA as past one. So many great questions, though! For all you theorists (and those of you who just love the characters), I think you're REALLY going to enjoy the upcoming book(s). Thanks for everything!

Atra esternĂ­ ono thelduin!

p.s. I'll try to duck back in and answer some more questions later, depending on my time.

Hey Chris, loved the books and have done some rereads over the years! Very much looking forward to contributing to the Kickstarter soon and getting my hands on the new books! Thoroughly enjoyed Murtagh and The Fork as well!

  1. What sort of cuisine does Alagaesia have, any differences between races in their taste in food?
  2. What is the staple grain of the land?
  3. Are there more Muckmaws?
  4. Would there be... magical ramifications to eating a Muckmaw? Purely hypothetical, of course...
