Much of this birch-paneled room is taken up by a brass-hinged display case, the contents arranged carefully on each shelf. Tucked into one corner, its lid open wide, is a squat box crafted from interlinked bronze and birch panels. The wooden floors are meticulously clean, though the faint smell of cooked meat and blood lingers in the air. You also see a rhimar-lined wooden chest and a glossy birch sign.

In the Common language, it reads:
Welcome to The Daily Grind
The meat grinders on display in the case are precision mechanisms that let you make raw sausages.
They require, at minimum, intestines for casings, a type of raw meat, some salt, and iron or silver wands (or Lightning magic) for power.
A secondary filler ingredient, such as organs, grain, wine, blood, vegetables, or mushrooms can be optionally added.
Additionally, up to two (2) additional items (such as food, foraged items, cooking ingredients, and others) may be added to give some added flavor to the final product.
Certificates to unlock the ability to create ropes of sausage links, as well as added ability to affect the look of the created sausages, can be found in the box.
Please keep in mind that sausages created with this meat grinder are /raw/ and will need to be cooked.  This can be accomplished by having a sturdy stick, as well as a source of fire.
