Competition: The Shame Corner: Snacks

Finished
The Shame Corner: Snacks

Traveling in the Galaxy takes time, resources, and effort...or at least as much as Plot Convenice wants. Drifting in a stable orbit around a tiny, dark dwarf star along the Hydian Way hyperlane is one of many millions of service stations and rest stops that dot the intergalactic space-routes: Station 0H40-S0, more fondly known as The Shame Corner. With connections to the Envoy Corps, the station provides not only respite and refueling for members bearing the insignia, but also serves as a port for any galactic denizen, and all kinds walk, hover, or wheel through its doors.

The Shame Corner offers just about any merchandise anyone could want...including SNACK FOODS. Give us some more!

The Corner has such items/categories as:

  • Jerky
  • Fudge
  • Jams
  • Pickled STUFF
  • Candy, eg gummies, sour ropes, bars, sugar dips
  • Fried foods
  • Hot sandwiches/hand foods
  • Bakery items
  • Trail mixes, nuts, chocolates

You can use any of these for inspiration, like providing a fudge or jerky flavor and spice level, or you can make up something totally different, like unique fried...idk... meilooruns. A sandwich made of space pop tarts. That is also fried. Who knows?

Just no cannibalism. And yes it counts even if they're different species so long as those species are sapient. It also counts if it's only parts and not the whole. Yes I have to specify this thanks to you all. :P

Rules

  • Submit as many snackie snack ideas as you want. The first one in the list will be used to grade in comparison to other entries.
  • Profanity, puns, etc are allowed, but no slurs etc in or out of universe. The Shame Corner doesn't sell hate! Not even against Hutts.
  • Entries should be done in the text box or a readable file type Atty can access.
  • Entries will be graded based on creativity and preference. You'll probably get more points the more clever while staying in character, but no pressure either way.
  • Grading will be blind.

Pulled Pork Donuts

Imagine if you will a meat seasoned with a proprietary blend of spices cooked low and slow for 12 hours over wood. Smoke infused into the flavor of the meat, making it savory and just a touch spicy. After cooking it is wrapped and allowed to rest for half an hour before being shredded into thin strips of tender meat. The meat is then piled high between 2 sugar-glazed donuts for the ultimate counter balance. Creating a perfect blend of savory and sweet. Now at the Shame Corner. Suggested donation of 9.99

Lan, having heard of the Shame Corner's need for more snacks and foods, approached Master Abbey Atty Attiter Ann bringing a package held tightly against his chest. "SWOON CUBES!" he declared loudly, waving the package toward Atty.

The HK-series droid that often accompanies Lan, serving as bodyguard and translator of the Archpriest's eccentricity, followed closely behind. The droid nodded respectfully at Atty and said in its feminine, motherly tone, "good morning, Master Atty Ann. My master, Lan, heard of the Shame Corner's search for snacks, and wanted to recommend these candies, very popular in the Zeltron homeworld."

The droid pointed at the package, still in Lan's hands. Lan nodded, opening it to reveal a myriad of small multicolored candy cubes. The droid continued, "the Zeltrons call these 'Swoon Cubes'. The cubes use pheromones and mood stimulants to amplify, or alter, the eater's emotional state for a brief moment, like a quick rush of emotion.”

The droid picked one of the cubes. “Each color brings a different mood. For example, the rose cubes have something of a floral flavor, they give a warm, tingly feeling, similar to being in love or infatuated. The purple ones give a tart-sweet burst of flavor, giving an euphoric head rush. The red one is spicier and bold, and can make one feel... agitated, energized, and angry. And so on for the other colors and moods. According to the Holonet ads, the Swoon Cubes feel soft and gummy at first, and then melt into a syrupy center. Inside, every cube has a pop-crystal core made from dried Zeltrosian glow root extract that fizzles and sparkles when it hits the tongue, activating its mood properties."

Lan nodded at the droid's explanation, and reiterated conclusively, "Swoon Cubes."

Cafyoras are hard, caf-flavored candy. Named after a caf-obsessed Pirate King Yora who inspired their creation when he demanded his crew find a way for him to enjoy caf in a hard solid form he could keep in his pockets in situations where a liquid cup wasn't practical. His first mate took caf and dehydrated it until it had a gooey texture, then mixed it with caramelized sugar to balance the flavor to make the first of the candies. Some of the crew went on to establish a candy maker operation that would make fare more money than the original pirate crew distributing the sweets.
