If you think George R. R. Martin’s wildly popular medieval-esque “A Song of Ice and Fire” books (chronicled in the HBO fantasy series “Game of Thrones,” about to begin its final season on April 14) are only about power struggles and swordplay, you’re wrong. The books also contain lots of vividly described food references—enough to inspire a food blog called The Inn at the Crossroads, and at least one cookbook, not to mention Oreos and edible dragon eggs. We got so into it we came up with our own “Game of Thrones” menu, just the thing to serve this weekend when your faux-fur-and-robe-clad fan friends come over to gorge on the latest episode (see how to stream “Game of Thrones” if you don’t have cable). But there are also options for those who prefer to buy than DIY—and we did not forget about drinks.
