So. [ Ye Zun is still slightly transparent, but that isn't stopping him from holding up a couple lollipops and waving them at the camera. Astute observers might notice that there's something buggy inside the candy. ] I know some of you people are more into alternative proteins like the mealworms and honeyed ants, so I've been experimenting with various bugs to see what else I can come up. There is of course things like these. [ Another wave at the camera and yes, it looks like he stabbed scorpions and encased them in a kind of sugary glaze. ] But I think I will need a few taste tasters.
[ The candy goes into a jar with more of them, and he pans the lens over several different jars of food. ] I have a few new types of delicacies, some of which I'm quite sure will be familiar to some, others a little less so. But since my idea of what is edible is... skewed by human standards, I would like a second opinion.
Also, since we are in a rather large cave system this port, I am going to ask for some help in collecting and taste-testing some of the live stock here. My people come from a similar environment; I'm sure that it's not that hard to find various new and interesting sources. Drop me a line if interested in anything otherwise, I shall be around.

As promised, he can be found in the Greenhouse collecting bugs for his latest projects, or in the Kitchen using pans especially slated for the buggy meals since some people are squeamish and he didn't want to hear their whining. Later on, he is going to be found in the caves doing the fetch quests or otherwise being a bother in the tunnels and the ruins.

...I'm not human either but I've fed a lot of 'em.
no subject
But still! You are welcome to try it out. I made some chili lime crickets, some soy and ginger june bugs, the lollipops, and some honey silk worms.

And no he hasn't. That hasn't any bearing on making food for people that can't eat red meats.

Hopefully you're paired soon and you have something to occupy your time that's not crimes against food.
no subject
I don't eat red meat for a fair number of reasons but even I know a good steak should never ever be covered in ketchup.

I would assume that policing people their own consent over what they eat and how they eat it would be beyond a modern being, but I guess I'm wrong.

I'm not sure I'd be very good at taste testing anything, but I can usually tell if something's poisonous. [It's by eating it and seeing if he gets sick.]

[ He hums for a moment. ] If you're sure, I am currently in the dining room making tempting displays.
no subject
[He beams, putting his hands together.] I wouldn't want anyone to think I'm strong in the face of temptation. I'll see you soon.
no subject
I shall be here.

Hello, Shen Jiye.
Re: Spam
[ In response, he gets a slight bow before he waves at the display of candied bugs and other assorted food in sealed glass jars. ]
Creepy looking or tempting enough?
Re: Spam
After spending some time in the ghost market, my judgement might be even more off.
Re: Spam
[ He makes a face and opens the nearest jar - crickets it looked like. ] Chili lime roasted crickets for a little zest, I thought.
Re: Spam
[He leans forward, interested.] How do you cook them? I've never actually seen the cooking process...
Re: Spam
[ He takes one and pops it into his mouth - why yes, he is still semi-transparent but the cricket makes a nice crunch sound in his teeth. ]
Either stir fry or air fry and then coat in the spices and roasted in an oven. I suppose I didn't have to go that far but I like to keep them a little crisp for the crunch. Try one?
Re: Spam
Yes, thank you. [He takes one, taking a moment to taste it.] I would say the extra step definitely paid off.
Re: Spam
[ He smiles and sets the jar down, making sure to seal it and picked up the next one. ] I get that they don't understand, but some of us cannot eat certain foods for a number of reasons.
Re: Spam
[He nods.] Though I was glad that my cultivation path didn't include food restrictions. I would've broken them, but it was nice not to have to.
Re: Spam
[ He chuckles and holds the jar up to the light before opening it. ] Soy and ginger stewed june bugs in this one. I am unable to eat a few foods. The people I... grew up among felt that humans were just as much on the menu as everything else, and they didn't always kill them first.
Re: Spam
Mm, well, it wasn't cannibalism. [More thoughtful than anything. There are people who think he can have a too open approach to things.] But I've never been comfortable with eating anything that can talk to me.
Re: Spam
[ He shrugs, taking one of the stewed bugs to crunch on himself. ] My ability feels the more intellect matter has, the more it wants. I've found the less I have of red meat and pork the less chances of triggering an event that will cause everyone undue duress. I can cough them back up with little worse to wear now, but I've been told that being inside a stomche is unsightly.
Re: Spam
I imagine so. I've been eaten, ah, well 'swallowed', and I can't say that it as very pleasant...
no subject
We rarely had honey.

Do you want to try some of this?

Delicately he set the sugar pop back in the container and hooks his fingers around the chili ginger june bugs. "These are a bit spicy but I think they're close to home flavors."
no subject
"The spice is a pleasant addition." And he reaches into the container and selects a particularly plump specimen to pop delicately into his mouth.
no subject
He smiles lightly and then sets the container down, glancing over at the other food he had made. "Still, a shame that some are just annoying about it."
