That's a great idea! :)))

I'm next, I'm next! *flails*

2 slices of rye bread
3 leaves of French lettuce
1 slice of Gouda cheese
1/2 teaspoon of mustard
Chocolate sprinkles to taste

I call it the Omni special :D

To lighten the mood, I thought if opening an interesting discussion that's close to everypony’s heart: food! Namely, what do you think humies eat?

From what I've read they are described as somewhat salty (as in they eat salty things) so I was wondering what recipes would suit them best. Not an easy task, considering I've been cooking sweet stuff all my life.

Anyway, here's a go:

1/2 pot of potatoes
1/2 pot of apples
Parsley (chopped)
Pepper (ground)
2 teaspoons spoons of salt

Peel and chop up the potatoes and apples and start boiling them in a pot of water for 2 hours
Add salt, parsley, and some pepper.
Stir thoroughly and keep simmering until porridge consistency is achieved

(Inspired by the food conversation between Molly and her parents in The Dagger’s Hilt)

@Bob: You've been cooking SweetStuff?! You monster!

Just kidding. There's somepony else doing that *wink wink*

The recipe sounds absolutely disgusting! Like just reading up makes me want to puke. But, damn you, now you got me curious. I'll have the kitchen cook it up for me. (Don't worry, @Short&Hoofy, I won't make you eat any.)

RRBB

@RRBB: Jokes are on you! Sis has been cooking MC recipes for years! Usually I'd start and make a mess of things, until she just gives up and does it for me.

@Bob: an interesting take. I always assumed the apple ingredient described was some kind of sauce or gravy. Never thought of them being part of the porridge. I must try it out! I'll also try and find my list of edible human recipes.

MixaMax

@Bob: hmm. According to last millennia scholars, humans were omnivorous, which means they are likely to eat a lot of meat.

@MixaMax: I'm totally for doing a human recipes evening! Probably the worst food we'll have, but so worth it :D

TrueSparkle

@RRBB: Hey! (Not that it’s not true… *blush*)

SweetStuff

What's wrong with meat? There are tons of great recipes with meat in them! Life doesn't only consist of sugar, you know! @GLGJ knows plenty of great dishes with mean, don't you babe?

Feather

@Feather: you're going to make me cook for you again, aren't you? -.- Oh, well… see you at dinner, I guess.

@PPI: How do you do that? Really! I know my father keeps going on and on that you're chaos incarnate, but seriously, how can you tell what we're about to say?

GLGJ

@Feather: I was about to make an obvious joke, but since I don't want to get banned, I won't. Besides, you already can guess what the joke us, can't you? :P

RRBB

I read that humans eat horses… that's a bit scary when you think about it. Imagine a fic in which a pony gets transported to Earth, then goes to visit Danny, only to be eaten by the grand 9. Well, 8 (Megan made a point of being a vegetable eater), but Megan would still watch.

Now that I see it written down it's even more disturbing. Eww!

Plust

@all: I'm acting on a whim here, but until LyraHands says otherwise, hosting of disturbing and gross content won't be allowed. Such things go against the series and everything it stands for, and I think we've been very clear where we want it to go.

While true, that there is evidence of MC humans eating meat, there isn't even a hint that they consume any type of equine product! In addition I strongly advise against posting “scenes” of such graphic nature in an attempt to circumvent the rule.

Thank you for your attention,

The TechNightling

I second that.

Besides, we all know that myths are meant to be scary. Remember Nightmare Night? Also, if you read further back, you'll find “accounts” of cannibal nobles who gave feasted on pony flesh.

And I'm sure human food is not what you think. Can you describe what we eat? I mean seriously. You'll be surprised how gross it is once you write it in great detail. Also, ice cream is universal. They are just likely to have weird combinations like caramel and salt.

LightSparkle

Mmmm! Caramel and salt! Caramel and mustard is better :)

Always ready for a cook off!

DaBoss: sure thing :D And something for your beau as well? Eh? Eh? :D

PPI

@Bob, @Short&Hoofy, @PPI: who about a panel on Human cooking? Just try not to poison the audience, okay? ;)

Seriously, I think human cooking would be interesting, provided it's tested and approved in advance.

InItForTheShipping

@PPI: sweet! Can I have some salty caramel muffins? I'll go pick them up after work.

DaBoss

Well, ain't no way you could go wrong with apples! Even humies know that. I had a talk with my sis about it and she decided that it would be a good idea to have our traditional apple pies be traditional human pies! (I can't tell the difference, but I reckon it must be pretty obvious for somepony good at pie making.)

Apple stew is fantastic, but ain't never tried it with potatoes… I don't think I've had those in years. I'll ask sis. Maybe we could get some.

WaterBottle

@InItForTheShipping: Can I be at the cooking panel as well? I've never tried cooking human food, but I think I could manage. I remember most recipes from the books, and the chocolate soufflé looks really easy.

Please? :)

Twist

@Twist: I'm so sorry! I completely forgot about you! Of course, you could, Twist :) Won't be the same without you! Maybe bring some normal candy canes as well? ;)

InItForTheShipping

I hate you all! All that talk if food and I can't eat a bite! :P

Maybe save me something from CrystalCon? Unless you stuff yourselves to the brim. :P

PaintDrop

@PaintDrop: if they do I'll take photos so you could stare the experience :D

HopHop

I've always loved cooking! Let me at it!

@MightyDragon: No!!!
