[edit] The Whale
- One of The Ashvale's most famous dishes is The Ashvale Whale. The Whale in this case is a 1lb cod fillet and comes with another 'Whale' or a dessert free of charge if completed. A certificate is also given to those who have successfully managed 'The Ashvale Challenge' of eating the 'Whale'.
