To serve monster: What creatures would you eat?

[atemu1234]

Inspired by watching Dungeon Meshi, what monsters, from 3.5 or Pathfinder, would you eat?

[Buufreak]

Owlbear: I'm curious which of the two animals the taste is more like.

Ochre jelly: it being an ooze implies acidity, but jelly implies it would be a sweet and sour flavor, which I enjoy.

Dragon, any: I deeply wonder if they, much like many other repitilan critters, taste like chicken.

I had a halfling with bite attack, I tried a little bit of everything. According to the GM, the best tasting thing was celestial. It was also unfortunately the last dungeon creature I was allowed to eat because we needed to make a contract with it, and my part of the contract was I could never eat the flesh of a living being again.

In my campaign, Dire Rat Gumbo has become a joke staple of Kobold diets. Likewise, in one of my last few sessions, the party ate Disenchanter, since they were in a magic-rich area that attracted them.

I once had a character that almost died from eating a creature that produces a chemical similar to alchemist's fire.

[Metastachydium]

Halflings? Everything about them sounds like they are for eating. Or Elves. Elves Are Better; ergo, they probably taste better too!

[Telonius]

Monstrous Crab. Probably need a warhammer to get it open, plus a couple pounds of Old Bay.

[emulord]

Gelatanous cube, I wonder how a paralyzing thing would taste, obviously with a good chef to have it not melt my face off.

[Zombulian]

Shocker lizard next question

[Beni-Kujaku]

Illithid brain. Now who's the smart one!?

I wrote cooking book with about ten receipts for one my campaign. But it's on Russian.

My party defeated and ate a Chuul once . DM said it tasted like crab . Eating was not really a major part of that campaign . Once or twice we rolled survivel skill to hunt food.

My cousin in Australia said his dnd group ate just about every monster they killed .

When i was DM i made a reminder that the party eat and drink something at least once per session or suffer hp loss . That was normally a tavern food or trail rations reply .

I'd be curious to try dinosaur meat.

[Algolei]

Human.









...what?

[atemu1234]

I'd be curious to try dinosaur meat.

That reminds me of the concept of eating Plesiosaur after hunting down the Loch Ness Monster in one campaign.

It petered out around D; but you mighty find some ideas here

Put together a number of proper serving sizes equal to the party size of the healthiest meal you can think of, Polymorph any Object it into a larger feast of delicious but unhealthy food, then, three hours later when it is in their stomachs, it turns back into the original healthy food. Admittedly, Heroes' Feast is lower level, but PaO is more flexible if people have specific tastes.

Never had chicken?

Although I imagine the larger ones would taste quite different. I've had Alligator before and I'm sure you could get Emu from somewhere, they're both surprisingly common farm animals, that's probably as close as you could get with extant species, but I don't think anything on earth comes close to what it would be like to eat meat from a T. rex or an Alamosaurus.

I have eaten crocodile . The meat was fatty and tasted like a blend of chicken and pork .

I wrote up a few recipes on this forum a long, long time ago.

[Thunder999]

Gelatinous cube served with a cocktail made from Potion of Freedom of Movement (there's some PrC list with it at 3rd level for artificer's to use) and acid resistance, all the flavour, none of the pain. Not suitable for sufferers of acid reflux

[Troacctid]

Roast displacer beast is a delicacy in some places, although it can be confusing for those trying it for the first time. "Waiter, why did you serve the meat onto the tablecloth instead of putting it on my plate?"

[atemu1234]

I wonder what Mimic would taste like - maybe treated with an acidic soak it would have a gummy consistency?

[liquidformat]

Or Elves. Elves Are Better; ergo, they probably taste better too!

Elves have like 0% fat they would be pretty depressing unless you add in some extra fat content, heck they might be like rabbit where if you eat too much of just elf it can make you seriously sick.

Honestly, I think the better reference point for large dinosaurs would be ostrich which is surprisingly red meat and not super chickeny from my experience. Iguana is pretty chickeny, I have found rattle snake to be strangely fishy but I think that is more of consistency thing, I have only had gator breaded and fried which makes it a bit hard to place.

I feel like troll could be interesting. I had a game once where we referenced monster components for making potions rather than needing to be a caster and troll blood was the main component for most healing and similar potions. potion makers paid good money for live trolls!

[SimonMoon6]

I would eat Leprechauns so I can teleport and... oh, I'm thinking of a different game.

captive troll, slice a bit off, it heals, cook and flavor with prestidigitation to taste, repeat for never ending fresh meat

Dwarvin Ale made from Dwarves that died of alcohol poisoning, its was a thing in the world from the group when i first started playing Dnd, i think it might've come from one of the old Arduin books

from the show the magicians, unicorn milk latte, was foul tasting, but they did milk a unicorn, lol

[atemu1234]

"Those were male unicorns!"

"Look, the buckets are full and the unicorns are happy."

i cant help it, they prepared it wrong, lol

Hm. Good point. But what if I fed them really plump Halflings for a few months?

reference point

At any rate, one must wonder how stuff relates to its obvious reference point in general. I mean, Minotaur and beef, Merfolk/Locathah and fish, Bariaur and mutton, Orc and pork…

[Reprimand]

Gelatanous cube, I wonder how a paralyzing thing would taste, obviously with a good chef to have it not melt my face off.

Probably more of a spice with numbing qualities like sicchaun peppercorns.

[Saintheart]

I wonder what Mimic would taste like -

A Mimic surely tastes like something by definition.


As for other meals: if I had a low INT score I'd probably want to sample an Ochre Jelly on the belief it would taste like jelly.
