Recs if you like Kill the Farm Boy ...

books w sense of humor (or voice) that's A) so subtle and cleverly disguised you could blink and miss it B) so blatant it's like being hit over the head C) so outrageous it's honestly just absurd D) drier than the sahara desert E) rather tongue-in-cheek F) all (or at least more than one) of the above

(some are more obvious than others since some are clearly intended to be satirical and others were just written in such a dry voice it made me chortle)

Is the main character a magical chef, a warrior cook or techno gourmet? Then they belong on this list. Bonus points if they have recipes included!

Only first books of series.

Not sure if I should include sff books with good food descriptions too. Comment to let me know what you think or with suggestions.

A lot of classic fantasy features a farmboy—who might be more than he seems—going on an adventure and discovering the wide world beyond his agrarian sensibilities. While this list is called “farmboy,” I’m open to farm people of all genders. For series, only the first book is listed. As always, open to recs!
