Is there a menu posted or a "specials board" where the ole pig is listed?  If so, I whisper into Akrah's ear the listed cost so that she can make a fair offer to the chef.  I'm literate in Halfling.

No listed prices for anything or a specials board

I smile at the older Halfling and ask: "Hello good sir; what does the ole pig special normally go for at your fine establishment? We most certainly wouldn't want to insult you with our offer. As you can see, we're not from around these parts. We are but a humble menagerie on a religious pilgrimage."

Akrah smiles " I could probably eat the whole pig.. but I asked for a whole pie!  What is the whole big special? is there a challenge?  Do you have a wall where travelers take on the peril of eating that much are perhaps immortalized?  " she seems engaged in the interaction. perhaps in the absurdity of eating challenges with halflings.

He looks at you and cocks an eye, "Religious pilgrims?  You don't have enough coin for the 'ol pig.  Two coppers for a plate."

He looks at you with some confusion and trepidation, "Did ye say you wanted a challenge to eat a 'aflgin?"

"We'd be happy to pay for the special." He asked for 2 copper, so I slide him a silver (5 copper, right?). "I hope this will do. If you have any pecan, candied walnut, or peanut butter mud pies, we'd like one of those too please." On second thought, I take the silver back and slide him a gold piece. "As a matter of fact, I'd like to buy a round for the house." Hopefully some of the strange looks on the patrons faces will turn to a smile after a drink.

Taye is watching observing and staying hidden.  Looking for the halfling that Akrah first approach to see if he ended up getting the owner or the purple horse.

The other halfling, older, taller, wearing a fancy ring and dressed in nicer but not fancy clothes.
Is the signet on the fancy ring purple by any chance?

"The 'ole pig is a bit more 'an that.  But a round for everyone we can do."  He takes the coin.

"The 'ole pig is a bit more 'an that.  But a round for everyone we can do."  He takes the coin.
I hand him another gold piece. "Will that cover the ole pig?"

At that point, he pauses, "You want the 'ole pig on short notice, that'll be five gold."

I hand him 3 more to complete the sale.

"Okay then, let's get 'em The 'Ol Pig!" a cheer goes up in the place.
