	The Setting Sun The heat of the afternoon had given way to a simmering eventide, the stagnant air a miasma of compressed sweat, the lingering odour of abandoned food and drink, and the ethereal emptiness created by the recent vacancy of what was once a massive crowd. by skatabo

Fall Foodie Favourites - Seasonal Snacks for Autumn

Hey, folks! We've reached the Month of Gathering, meaning it's time to prepare our bellies for the food-filled fall season. As the days grow shorter and the air gets chillier, most Neopets find themselves longing for a certain calibre of edible creations that complements the surrounding orange and brown hues of nature. Out with watermelons and pineapples, and in with pumpkins! No more iced lattes - it's time for hot drinks to keep your hands warm! And put down those chicken wings - 'tis the season for turkey! To help you expand your palate or to simply find a new fall fav, I've compiled a list of some of Neopia's tastiest autumn-themed dishes. Check out the list below to find out what grub to grab, with prices ranging from cheap to gourmet! Food Name: Autumnberry Where To Find It: Meri Acres Farm - Pick Your Own Why You Should Try It: The unique Autumnberry tops our list because it's a simple, forageable find that quite literally has "autumn" in its name! This slimy-looking berry might be a little too juicy for some, but if you don't mind the mess made by its dripping outer layer, you're in for a fresh treat. This berry fits perfectly with the Month of Gathering spirit because what's more seasonally relevant than gathering your own farm-fresh produce? Perfect for a quick snack, as long as you've got some napkins.
