"Of course I ate more than jerky!" Maea scoffed, in mock offense even as her eyes glittered with humor. "Sometimes I ate my catch raw. Very different." And objectively worse, but that was beside the point.
Fishing out a chunk of the hare she popped it in her mouth and chewed slowly, assessing the effect of the herbs. She didn't doubt Alys claim that it tasted good, but truth be told it didn't really remind her of any stew she'd had before either.
"Mh. To be honest, I'm just glad it isn't burnt. Maybe I should have warned you, but I'm a lousy cook. This is as good as it gets." And perhaps that was the reason for the diet of smoked meat and dried fruits. Not so much because she wanted it, but rather due to a lack of options.
She didn't sound all that apologetic either way. If Alys was content with the seasoning then all was well.
