The emperor's breakfast: Peony's favorite banana-coconut bread (or muffins)
The rappig part is easy enough to understand, given his majesty's taste in pets, but there was a good deal of speculation among the palace staff over whether his majesty was happy to be free of the frozen north of his youth, or if food from home would have brought back too many painful memories.
In any case, the chef produced this recipe to serve at breakfast, with spiced tea.
