A thick porridge-like ragout of meat and vegetables, packaged in a folded, edible leaf.
This dish is common to Vland and Lishun. Vilnafku bears many similarities to Terran Potage.
Etymology
Apocryphally attributed to the Old High Vilani "vilnaf" which is said to mean "herdsman" or "herder." The word "vilnafka" is said to mean a "herd of livestock." The two words combined to indicate the source of the primary meat ingredient of Vilnafku. However such an etymology is not credible as neither V nor F are present in the Vilani alphabet. Either this is a loan word from another language or it is a corruption of something like "bilnashku".
