Many of you have been asking for inspiration for your S7 feasts, so I thought I’d put together this little idea list. One of my favorite “themes” for a meal we did was one where we “traveled” the Kingsroad, sampling dishes as we went. This was pretty early on in the days of the blog, but it was a fun and different way to build a menu. These are fairly straightforward routes along the main North-South Kingsroad, but feel free to alter the route to include other places, such as the Iron Islands.
So, without further ado, let’s get going! And be sure to throw any extra suggestions into the ring, as well!
Note: italicized dishes are in the GoT cookbook, A Feast of Ice and Fire

I’d love to see “fusion” feasts. What are the Unsullied and Dothraki making with Westerosi foods? Did Arya bring any Braavosi tastes back to Winterfell?
What an interesting way of building a menu. I’ve never seen anything like it! I’m definitely going to take inspiration from it to organize a nice dinner at my place, to celebrate it. Thank you!
OMG this all sounds amazing! I am planning a small season 7 feast myself and am so so pumped. While researching recipes on your blog I came across the Dothraki goat skewers and made them this past weekend (using seitan in place of meat because I’m vegan). They were DELICIOUS! The marinade was so so good. Question for you: I’m trying to make a recipe from each house that’s still in the game — Stark, Lannister, Targaryen, Tyrell, Martell (though I suppose the Sand Snakes are not technically Martells), Greyjoy. But I’m stuck on the Iron Islanders. Any suggestions on what they would eat?
