Melaine is a land known for its unique and delicious cuisine. The San Jacoban is among the realm's most popular meals and is another example of a uniquely Melanish recipe. Melaine is famous for its meat loving culture and this dish serves as an exemplary ambassador, showcasing their love of pork. The pepperoni's and pepperoncini's zap blending with the soft sweet taste of apple butter wrapped in a cheese filled tortilla is a beloved sandwich in the southeast of the known world. 

 

Named after its place of origin, Santijacobo, the San Jacoban has spread west becoming a staple dish across Melaine. Pepperoncinis originated in southern Cyros but over time had spread east to Melaine. They grew particularly well in the sub-tropical climate near Santijacobo, thus the origin of this dish. It is one of those unique meals that can be served in a way to please the elite of the realm, or it can be prepared without a few of the standard ingredients to be accessible enough for the common people to enjoy too. 

 

While this is the pride of Santijacobo, other coastal towns typically add shrimp or fish instead of pork, and other inland rural settlements may use beef instead. It is often served with a side salad, steamed vegetables, or oysters depending on the location.
