Would Chunk Eat It?: He would eat maybe 1/50th of it. So no. 1/5
Final Score: 2/5
Critic’s Notes: Why would you waste this much food. Just host a party. Donate it. Something fucking anything I am begging at this point.

Deutschribing Germany
Cuisine
Meal times
The German proverb Iss dein Frühstück wie ein Kaiser, Mittagessen wie ein König und Abendessen wie ein Bettler (Eat your breakfast like an emperor, lunch like a king, and dine like a pauper) sums up the German outlook toward meals.
A typical day begins with Frühstück (breakfast), when people drink coffee, tea, or hot cocoa and eat muesli with yogurt or milk or bread with butter, jam, honey, chocolate and hazelnut spread, sausage, or cheese. Some people also drink juice and eat a boiled egg. This usually takes place between 6 and 8 a.m. Children usually eat a mid-morning snack at school called Pausenbrot (recess sandwich) that consists of a sandwich, a piece of fruit, or a muesli bar. The adult version is called Zwischenmahlzeit (in-between meal).
Mittagessen (lunch) takes place between 12 and 2 p.m. A typical lunch dish includes potato salad with sausage or meatballs and meat with potatoes or vegetables. It is common for family members and friends to gather between 3 and 5 p.m. for Kaffee und Kuchen (coffee and cake).
Abendessen (dinner) is eaten between 6 and 7 p.m. Sometimes it is a light cold meal with bread and cold cuts, in which case it is called Abendbrot (evening bread). Dinner normally consists of a salad or soup, bread, cheese, meat or sausages, mustard, and pickles.
Dishes
German cuisine varies from region to region, and what is considered typically German is actually typical in the south, mainly Bavaria, where cuisine is similar to that in Austria. There are also international varieties such as doner kebab, pizza, sushi, Chinese food, Greek food, Indian food, and Vietnamese food.
Bread and sausage are staples of the German diet. There are about 600 types of bread and almost 1,500 sausage varieties, including Bratwurst (made of ground pork, beef, or veal and spices) and Weißwurst (white sausage eaten with sweet mustard, a pretzel, and beer).
The national alcoholic drink is beer, of which there are many varieties, including Helles (a pale lager beer produced in southern Germany), Radler (a beer mixed with lemonade), and Weizenbier (a top-fermented beer brewed with a large proportion of wheat relative to the amount of malted barley).

i saw the tags you put on the mongolian tea video and i'm mega intrigued (i love hearing about food from other cultures!!): googling rondijzhu yields no results, and laghman comes up as a type of noodle dish? would you mind talking a bit abt the breakfast from chitral? :D
@albertinesimonet I'm so, so, so sorry for how long it's taken me to answer this 😭 University's been hell, I really want to give this answer the detail it deserves, so I hope you can forgive the fact that it's, like, a month late.
Anyway! I'm so happy someone on Tumblr's taken interest in my tiny river-valley hometown! This entire answer is going to function as me gushing about it now lol. Some context on what I'm about to say is that while Chitral is in Pakistan, it's in the far, far north of it, bordering the Tajik-majority area of Afghanistan and very, very close to Tajikistan. So while Chitral is, through borders, considered part of South Asia, its culture and cuisine is much more similar to more Central Asian ones.
Tumblr media
(There's Chitral on a map of Pakistan!)
Another thing worth mentioning is that 'Chitral' itself is a bit of a catch-all term for the general part of Pakistan that speaks a language called 'Khowar' and its dialects, not taking into account the fact that the cultures within the Chitral district vary wildly based on where exactly in the mountains you are. Just saying that so you know to take what I say with a grain of salt, and just know that it's applicable to a specific part in this specific region of the district (think somewhere in the green portion on the map below).
Tumblr media
With that said, breakfast in Chitral can be anything, as long as it's hearty! People generally don't have a solid 'lunch', as midday is the best time to get outdoor work done, so big breakfasts are the norm. In summer, it's butter tea (tea with butter and salt boiled into the milk) with dried fruits (I'm a fan of apricots, but dried grapes, peaches and assorted berries are common too) and Chitrali bread (which is very, very thick; I think some people call it tikki but we've just always called it 'Chitrali bread' lol), usually with cottage cheese. You can stuff the Chitrali bread with minced meat (goat or lamb, mostly), cottage cheese or milk curds too!
Winter, though, is where breakfast becomes key, and which is where the foods you asked about come in– in summer, at least, the weather is better so you do have time to eat in the afternoon, but in winter? No chance. In Chitral, winter breakfasts are massive, warm and hearty as hell. Salty butter tea is still a must, coupled with Chitrali bread which, in winter, is usually stuffed. A lot of people choose to add milk curds into the tea, but I never liked doing that, so. Rip.
Other people add dried rondijzhu (which is a very, very rough Anglicisation of a Khowar word so I'm not surprised nothing came up when you Googled it!) to their tea too. Rondijzhu, which is also served generally at breakfast in the winters, is basically just portions of spit-roasted lamb or goat that are really, really heavily salted (Chitral isn't the place to go if you have cholesterol issues) to make sure they last. A lot of people take aside parts of the freshly spit-roasted meat to slice it up into little chunks and dry it seperately to the rest of the rondijzhu, so they can use it as stuffing, in tea, in mantu (steamed dumplings– pretty similar to Chinese bao!), et cetera.
Another use for rondijzhu, and a way to heat it up for breakfast, is by boiling it with khalli, or laghman (they're both the same thing– we call it laghman but I know people in the vicinity of Chitral city call it khalli). It is indeed a type of noodle dish! It's basically just soft wheat noodle soup cooked with usually either minced meat or chunks of mutton or beef and a shitton of herbs. It's more on the brothy side, and so is super warming, especially when served alongside Chitrali bread. Something people (or, at least, we) tend to do is, when boiling the wheat noodles that were cut the night before for the morning laghman, adding rondijzhu to the noodles. This both warms up the rondijzhu and acts kind-of like stock for the laghman broth. You can take the rondijzhu out and eat is seperately, or keep it in the laghman, your choice (I personally prefer having it seperately, but I'm a picky eater by mountain village standards).
That said, laghman isn't strictly a breakfast food. Hell, none of these are. Chitrali bread is eaten with salty butter tea in the afternoon, laghman and rondijzhu are eaten for dinner too, and a lot of other Chitrali food that I haven't mentioned (like harisa, which we stole from the Armenians, or pilau or any variation of taaw meat– meat cooked on a gridle– et cetera) can also work as 'breakfast' food. As long as it fills you up, keeps you warm, and allows you to not die of various vitamin deficiencies, it's perfect as Chitrali breakfast or dinner.
tl;dr: breakfast is a social construct and, in Chitral, food is food no matter what time of the day it is 💖

Good morn/noon/evening/after-you-woke-up! Now, I want you to imagine we are in a beige and light oak dressed kitchen, theres a plastic bowl artfully place on the island you bump your toes and hips on, and in that plastic bowl is plastic fruit, and on that plastic fruit is a decades worth of dead skin dust built up. It smells like vanilla perfume from the dollar store. On the 32-inch TV screen PBS is playing episodes of the coming of age drama 'Arthur'. We're cooking 'Stones Inna Swamp' from the Redwall Cookbook- And now a word from us kids…
(You can find the original recipe at the bottom if you’d like to follow along)-
MY NAMES CROSS NOW LETS COOK LIKE ANIMALS
SO, “what goes in to a Stones Inna Swamp?” YOU MIGHT ASKWELL for ya soup base-
White beans
Kidney beans
Vegetable oil
Onion
Celery stalks
Garlic
Sliced mushrooms
Green bell peppers
Vegetable stock
Chopped tomatoes
Parsley
Paprika
Salt and pepper
Canned beans might work well if you dont want to soak overnight, just thoroughly rinse and dry them first. And for ya dumplin's-
Rolled oats
Breadcrumbs (preferably whole wheat)
Parsley
Margarine
Cheddar Cheese
Do be careful making these, the dish caked to the pan like ive never seen anything before.
AND, “what does Stones Inna Swamp taste like?” YOU MIGHT ASK
Its a, it feels like adult babyfood, almost?
The 'dumplings'- they taste like meatballs??
This recipe would probably taste better with Regular Meatballs but these are mice so its understandable
Theres less liquid at the end than the 'swamp' name would imply
Texture similar to a mash
Most flavor comes from the aromatic ingredients
Could deal with a bit more spice
The vegetables could also go for a nice sear or roast beforehand
Pairs well with a gelatin desert and sparkly water
The dish your white parent makes when they do something 'experimental'
. The dumplings dont have a measurement for the salt, I did what felt right and I'd say it came out to maybe ¼ cup salt? . Water measurement for dumplings is way way too little, do the tablespoons and then also half cup. . Where margarine called for, used butter
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It gives off the air of when your children complain about taco tuesdays, but they cant cook for themselves and your partner refuses to learn, so you pick something out from pinterest that says "Healthy Veggie Sunday Dinner Done in 10 Minutes!". Its not bad in the traditional sense, its bad in the sense that it brings not much good. This may partially be a neurodivergent thing but the amount of soft textures just fucks with my brain.
I feel like I'm eating joker mush. The cheese is a nice touch though!
From start time to serving time, it took about 2 hours, but that could be cut down with experience. I would highly recommend either cooking the parsley dumplings separately and then adding per serving, or serving and eating immediately, because they Will get soggy and they Will fall apart over time.
 The flavor itself is very nice and savory, the more salt  you add the more itd taste like meat I think! As usual, please do feel free to add more spices than listed. I could see smoked paprika, cumin, and sautéd spinach going enhancing this a fair bit. I think if I were to make this in the future i would fry the dumplings before adding them in with the soup, to give it more texture and 'body'.
I give this recipe a wham-bam-ghost-you-ma'am of 3/10 (with 1 being food that makes one physically sick and 10 being food that gives one a lust for life again.) And now back to our show...
🐁 ORIGINAL RESIPPY TEXT BELOW 🐁
Bean Soup Ingredients:
1/2 cup dried white beans
1/2 cup dried kidney beans
4 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups (1 large) sliced onion
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 1/2 cups (4 ounces) sliced mushrooms
2 green bell peppers, seeded and chopped
1 cup vegetable stock (or 1 cup water and 1/2 cube vegetable bouillon)
1 can (14 ounces) chopped tomatoes
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
Parsley Dumpling Ingredients:
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (preferably whole wheat)
2 teaspoons chopped parsley
1/4 cup margarine
1/2 cup grated Cheddar cheese
Soup Method:
To make the soup, soak the dried beans in water overnight.
Drain the soaked beans and transfer them to a large pot. Add water to cover and bring to a boil. Boil the beans for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat and simmer until the beans are completely cooked, 40 to 50 minutes more. Drain.
In a large, preferably nonstick frying pan over medium heat, warm the oil. Add the onion, celery and garlic and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 more minutes.
Add the beans, stock, tomatoes, parsley and paprika. Season with salt and pepper.
Bring to a boil, cover partially, and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Dumplings Method:
To make the dumplings, stir together the oats, breadcrumbs, parsley and salt in a bowl. Add the margarine and rub it into the dry ingredients with your fingers until evenly distributed. Stir in 2 to 3 tablespoons of cold water, until the mixture just forms a dough.
Form the dough into twelve 1 '/2-inch round dumplings. Add the dumplings to the bean mixture and reduce the heat to low. Simmer, covered, turning the dumplings after 10 minutes, until they are cooked through, another 20 to 25 minutes.
Sprinkle with the grated cheese and serve.

what are kdp, varya & kika's favorite foods?
KDP: she likes spicy food a lot and she's also a BIG fan of soups and dumplings. they also like food that's easy to eat on the go like pitas and just sandwiches (but they love doing something fun with them like adding caramelized onions or poached egg, though regular kolbasa is fine lol). they generally like foods that can be considered a snack tbh, charcuterie boards/tapas/etc etc. also he likes eating green onions, dill and regular onions with salt. just like that.
Varya: she's just a bit of a picky eater as in she doesn't like some very specific things like peas with mashed potatoes. she likes spicy food as well and some of her favorites are different variations of carb dishes (noodles, rice, potatoes) and grilled vegetables. she also has a sweet tooth and loves different kinds of pastries especially baklava. also. she likes bread a lot. any kind of bread. and also cheese. bread with cheese? amazing.
Kika: she's more of a picky eater, though it's very much possible she'll outgrow some of her preferences. she most likes "bread with something inside or on top of it" kinds of food. KDP has to invent more and more variations of it btw, because Kika doesn't like eating the same food for a long time (KDP is also like that but Kika has it worse). they like food that you need to "work" for to eat like ribs or chicken wings or seafood like shrimps and mussels. they don't like any "mushy" food like porridge and also gravy, though they kinda like curry as an exception. and yeah. those two freaks raised another spicy food liker.

- Overnight oats - just mix rolled oats, milk and your choice of fruit, toppings, thickeners etc. I like this because it’s easy to just dump things and you can prep it in advance during times you have more spoons.
- Sandwiches - Again, can be prepped ahead of time and requires little assembling. Your choice of bread, sauce, veg and protein. I like wholegrain bread with spinach, deli turkey, guacamole and spicy mayo. You can simplify or fancy it up as much as you like. Ham and cheese works too. You can also toast them and them bam you’ve got a toastie. Sandwich presses are your best friend.
- Frozen fish and frozen veg - Get a sheet tray. Put some foil or baking paper on it. I like to add a frozen fish fillet (but you can use fresh or chicken), and a bunch of green beans (or veg of your choice). Drizzle olive oil. Add spices (I use garlic powder, paprika and salt) and then I usually put in the oven for about 20 minutes at 225 C (440 F). If the fillet is smaller, check it at 17 minutes. Best part? Just remove the foil/paper for easy clean up.
- Wraps - Take a tortilla, a veggie, a protein and some sauce. My favourite is a wrap with tuna, shredded carrot, spinach and spicy mayo. I buy my carrots pre-shredded to make it easier.
- Grilled cheese and tomato soup - Empty a can of tomato soup into a microwave safe bowl and zap it, taking it out and stirring every 45 seconds. Then toast two pieces of bread and stick some cheese between those bad boys. Once the soup is ready, zap the grilled cheese in the microwave for 10 seconds to make sure it melts. Or if you don’t own a toaster, just microwave the whole thing. Then enjoy!
Noodle soup - In a pot, boil water. Add a chicken bouillon cube, some frozen veggies and hokkien or udon noodles. You can also add frozen dumplings. Just boil it for a few minutes then done. I pre-boil my water in an electric kettle and add it to the pot to save time.
Eggs - Pretty good. Can quickly scramble them, hard boil them. Can even cook them in the microwave.
Some meals to have on hand for really bad days
- Instant mac ‘n cheese - Not everyone likes this stuff and it’s not the healthiest, but it’s good in a pinch. I always keep some on hand. To make it gourmet, add some garlic powder to it.
- Instant powdered mashed potato - Again, not everyone’s favourite, but it’s so good and easy. Just add boiling water to powder and bam you’ve got mashed potato. Add butter to make it gourmet.
- Instant noodles - Goes without saying.
- Frozen bread - Did you know you can freeze bread? Take a slice of frozen bread and zap in the microwave 10 seconds for quick sustenance.
- Microwave rice - This is good by itself but also great to add an extra something to meals without too much extra effort.
- Frozen dumplings - if you have a rice cooker, you can put water in the pot and steam these in the top with a steamer. Or you can boil them in water. Or you can put them in a bowl with water and nuke them in the microwave.

first, some food posts. we didn’t eat a whole lot of taiwanese food, we mostly did a lot of going to trendy places within taipei city. we didn’t have a lot of time there and i had anxiety tummy for a lot of it lol. anyway, in order:
① din tai fung - a staple, truly. we had soup dumplings, fried rice and some garlic greens.
② a breakfast sandwich, consisting of an interesting combination of egg, cabbage, a meat patty, cheese and peanut butter.
③ a soy milk tea, from the same place as the sandwich.
④ a sweets break featuring a huge cinnamon roll and mango soda.
⑤ ji rou fan - chicken rice. this place is apparently famous, though our taiwanese guide (my friend’s friend) had never heard of it. it was pretty good, though this was right before our returning flight so i had anxiety tummy again, so i didn’t end up finishing it. the rice came with an egg, and three sides. i picked cabbage, tofu and bamboo shoots.
⑥ a tiny little lemon tart, free of charge.

we also went to a hotpot restaurant, where my friend’s taiwanese friend paid for all of the meat and other things we ate, lol.

last meal on earth?
weirdly specific and unrelated asks to know someone well (for belated munday) | no longer accepting
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Even though I already answered this, I'm gonna write a second choice because I like food (too much) and I am getting hungry.
I would have some Korean ramen, either Shin Ramyun or Samyang Ramyun. My favorite way to cook it is Kujirai style, which is almost stir-fried. Basically instead of cooking it in a boiling pot, you cook it in a pan and add half the amount of water and soup packet. Then when you're able to separate the noodles, crack an egg or two on top and sprinkle some shredded cheese (I prefer mozzarella), cover it, and let it all cook to perfection :) I personally like to also add chopped green/spring onions and cooked spam to the toppings and have kimchi as a side. This is one of my top comfort foods.
And if I am very very hungry, I'd also have some tuna kimbap and dumplings 😋
Not the prettiest picture I've taken but it basically looks like this:

My headcanons on the characters' favorite foods and drinks
Balan: He'll eat and drink pretty much anything that's consumable. But if he had to pick, his favorite foods would be lasagna and blueberry pie. His favorite drinks would be either wine or sweetened black tea.
Lance: Like Balan, he's not picky on food or drinks. But he has an absolute favorite food: chocolate! Drink wise, he prefers tea of all kind to be unsweetened and decaffeinated.
Leo Craig: He is a lover for pizza and burgers. As for drinks, he loves ginger ale or regular coke. He does watch how much he eats, though.
Emma Cole: She is a strawberry lover. So she'll eat anything involving strawberries, whether it'd be just the fruit, strawberry-flavored yogurt, or strawberry pie. She also loves drinking strawberry milk.
Jose Gallard: He loves eating his fruits and vegetables. But he loves eating cornbread made by his wife. When it comes to drinks, he'll be fine with just a glass of water.
Fiona Demetria: Her favorite foods would be anything that's Greek cuisine, as long as there's no seafood in it. Drink wise, she loves smoothies of all kind.
Yuri Brand: She loves onigiri, which are rice balls wrapped in nori (dried seaweed). She also would love green tea with it, sweetened.
Haoyu Chang: Hands down, dumplings are his favorite food. Especially made by his mother. His favorite drink, if he had to choose, would be orange juice.
Sana Hudson: She is a vegetarian, so salads are her favorite food. She also loves fruit and veggie juices that she makes on her own.
Cass Milligan: She is a sweet lover! Lollipops are her favorite treat. She also loves milkshakes too. But she doesn't have sweets as often as one would assume.
Cal Suresh: He favors curry and rice, especially if he makes it himself. He also favors espresso.
Iben Bia: Her favorite foods include apricots and pancakes that her mother used to make. Drink wise, she loves coffee with milk and sugar.
Attilio Caccini: Spaghetti and ravioli are his absolute favorite dishes. He also loves drinking soda and milkshakes too.
Lucy Wong: She loves eating a dish called Nasi lemak, which is a dish that consists of fragrant rice cooked in coconut milk and served on a banana leaf. She also loves eating durian fruit. Her favorite drinks are anything with caffeine, such as coffee.
Eis Glover: He loves eating Knusperstangen, a twisted German baked good that's filled with cheese and onion and is topped with poppy seeds and sesame seeds. He prefers water over other drinks.
Bruce Stone: His favorite food would have to be tomato soup. When it comes to drinks, he'll enjoy either water, unsweetened iced tea, or lemonade.

*hurls into the void*
Altugger Week Day 3
Annoying but Adorable, 450 words, SFW
“What do you want for lunch?”
Alonzo didn’t lift his head from his book. “Italian?”
“Too heavy for a day like today.”
“Pub?”
“We go there all the time.”
“Because you like it.”
“Not today. Menu doesn’t change.”
“How about that fusion place?”
Tugger pulled a face. “We had the worst dumplings last time.”
“There are other menu options.”
“You want to risk it?”
“Fair. Hmmmm seafood?”
“We had that two nights ago.”
“So?”
“We had the leftovers last night.”
Alonzo sighed heavily. He marked his place and looked up, propping his cheek in his palm. “How about McDonald’s, then?”
Tugger recoiled in horror. “Alonzo! Seriously, what are you saying?” He climbed into Alonzo’s lap and pressed his paws to their foreheads. “You don’t feel warm.”
“I’m not sick!”
“You must be if you’re suggesting lowering your standards to that,” Tugger exclaimed. His tail swayed like a metronome. “Are you sure you don’t want me to make you soup?”
Alonzo rolled his eyes. “Bast preserve me from your fickle nonsense.”
“What?”
Alonzo grabbed Tugger’s collar ring and pulled him down, until their lips barely brushed. “If you want to cook, just say so.”
Tugger flushed and looked away. “You just. Didn’t seem all that impressed last time.”
“Huh?” Alonzo blinked.
“Never mind,” Tugger mumbled quickly. “We can go to the pub.”
Alonzo tightened his hold on Tugger’s collar before he could try to move. Tugger stayed put, carefully not making eye contact.
“Tugger. When was I not impressed?”
Tugger winced. “When we had mac and cheese and greens the other night.”
“You made that? That was a homemade three cheese bechamel!”
“Wasn’t a big deal,” Tugger said, pouting.
“Obviously it was. Why not tell me?”
“I didn’t— nobody really thinks I know how to. I mean, nobody thinks I know how to live on my own, let alone cook. Last time I expressed interest I got laughed all the way into culinary classes.”
Alonzo lifted himself up and nuzzled his nose into Tugger’s cheek. He purred softly, working his way along Tugger’s face until their lips met. They kissed for several long moments until Alonzo finally released the collar ring.
“Mac and cheese isn’t my favorite food and yours was delicious enough that I had seconds.”
Tugger smiled sheepishly. His ears perked and his purring kicked into a pleased hum. His tail lifted behind him. “You really liked it?”
“Please trust that I would not have had seconds if I didn’t.” Alonzo shoved Tugger gently off his lap. “Go impress me with lunch, you terrible annoyance.”
Tugger leaned down and stole another kiss before scuttling off to the kitchen. Alonzo watched him go, smiling fondly.
Adorable sod.
