They ’re unbelievable and comfortable to deplete . particular mention : The Mead Hall ’s Yaknog , which is fundamentally a cinnamon forwardicedhot hot chocolate , and Stormfly ’s Catch of the Day , a decorated chocolate mousse filled fish ( just the shape , not the flavor ) served on a bed of colorful crispy cereal ( cerebrate Fruity Pebbles ) .
