Bardeezan culture is very heavily focused on oral tradition, with songs and storytelling still very popular despite advances in modern media. Young Bardeezans are far more likely to be found sitting around a camp fire listening to an elder telling them about adventures of the past than have them being glued in front of a view screen. The use of primitive holodecks have, however, grown in popularity so they can relive the sagas of old. | Bardeezan culture is very heavily focused on oral tradition, with songs and storytelling still very popular despite advances in modern media.

Bardeezans are open and friendly, and treat others how they would like to be treated.

==Food & Drink== | |||
Bardeezan cuisine is often considered rather basic and bland by other cultures, however, it is filling and hearty fare, in general. | |||
Bardeezans have seemingly insatiable appetites and they enjoy home cooked food, rather than replicated meals, where possible. While many cities on Bardeez do have restaurants offering off-world cuisine, Bardeezan food is still very much the number one choice for the native population. | |||
Some typical Bardeezan foods include: | |||
* oats with nuts and fruits (usually eaten for breakfast). | |||
* kurox (the meat of the kurox - a bison-like animal). | |||
* gobbits - a potato-like vegetable cut into cubes and roasted or boiled. | |||
* gobbast - a mashed version of the potato-like vegetable. | |||
* Bardeezan honey - considered to be one of the sweetest and most sought after honeys in the Beta Quadrant. | |||
Bardeez is also famous for its wide selection of ales and was even noted in the [[Beer Wine And Spirit Lover's Guide to Trill]] for this. | |||
