*checks the research*

After careful consideration about the facts and what I know of the Mando culture I would have to say...

And I have to say your on the right track

Strong, Spicy, Nourishing, filling.

This reminded me of a famous dish in brasil which is called Feijoada although it's not spicy it can be with a lil touch of the right stuff [btw don't believe the site, feijoada can be served both day and night and almost certainly several times a week. It's very simple to make and is damn tasy if you ask me and the pot doesn't need to contain all that stuff. You can basicaly throw in any kind of meat you like, as long as you have the black beans ^^ ]

Basically it's a meal where you have a variety of meats, vegetables and cereal based foods that bring that "nourishing" aspect and it's pretty darn heavy so it's very much filling.

I guess one important aspect of mando cooking would be simplicity as well. They would favor meals that are cooked in larger quantities and don't need special cooking skills ( unlike French cuisine lets say and more like Gypsies )

I've sought that state of mouthburn for as long as I can remember, and collect sauces that give that feeling.
I guess I've always had what it took to be mandalorian in this department.

I think that you are pretty much spot on so far. Perhaps one other thing that is sought after in mando cooking that isn't really one of the "four essentials" would be low fibre as mentioned in HC to minimize what comes out the other end?

This is true. Im not 100% sure, but fairly sure it was fibre mentioned in HC so that it would be harder to track you as you left less behind for them to find...

What Daennika said, I agree with it

Lol I have no clue what to say here but it looks like they're fairly spot on...though from mando cooking to different types of excrettions is a rather interesting course change don't you think?

I expect no less bizarre and perverse in a thread I am involved in, or create.

I'm great at derailing threads with random, perverted comments. I've been well-behaved here.

We're all entitled to a level of humor, and I'm not a chef but I know that you all know that when you got to go, you got to go. Recce or not. Sniping or not.


Spicy food tends to have laxative effects as well. Maybe you want to be able to evacuate before you deploy.

*gigglesnerk* Well put, Dae'buir. Well put.

I had a pretty good appetite going after reading Mel and FR's posts, then you guys had to go talking about poo.

I think immediately of Indian food when I think of Mandalorian food. Some sort of easy, thrown together curry sauce with a ton of spices and meat, thrown over high-nutrient and energy-containing carbohydrates (pasta or something).

Or maybe Mandos eat Chipotle burritos. Hopefully you American vode know what I'm talkin' 'bout. Mmm.

Another weird American high-density food is peanuts/peanut butter. Peanut butter is super filling and is probably one of the most dense foods I can think of off the top of my head. And that must be why uj cake contains fruit (marginally healthy even in cake form) and nuts. Nuts are good for you but you better be prepared to work off the calories!

Okay back to poo: I know I would be the sniper who gets a terrible urge to go at the wrong time, especially if I just ate a curry dish. I bet there are some great Peptobismol-like quick fixes for that in the SW universe.

Ah, that's just great. Now I want Chipotle. Which I have no car to get. Or money to buy. -_-

Also, a fun random fact, the spell check here tries to change Chipotle into Chippewa. Which brings to mind roast camp counselors. And I'm just shooting myself in the foot over this whole hunger issue. It might actually be great enough to overcome my laziness to actually cook something.

And it's all your fault, Catika.

Or you could just forego all flavor and settle for a food cube, nutritionally optimal for soldier and spec-operators but savor-challenged.
