Isn't it time for a Thargoid Epicurian CG?

We can certainly get Thargoid body parts.

The Empire certainly has the best chefs in the Galaxy.

The Thargoids don't have any hesitation about eating us.

We need a ferry to the Pleades near an Imperial base to enjoy Thargoid confections extraordinaire.

Who wants the title "Joey Chestnut of Thargoid Hearts"?

Thargoids cannot "eat us". We can't eat them either. Their chemistry is ammonia-based, ours is water-based. Thargoid planets are so cold, water is a type of rock - it's what comes out of volcanoes. So from their perspective, we are lava monsters. Would you want to eat a lava monster?

From our perspective, ammonia is a toxic gas. Thargoid meat, which would be as saturated with ammonia as Human meat is saturated with water, would smell terrible and be quite poisonous.

More sauce for the goose. Those Imp cooks are amazing.

Oh, we produce quite a bit of ammonia in protein digestion. We usually concentrate it as urea before excretion. So the challenge would be for the chefs to not make Thargoid ice cream taste like pee.

Back a long time ago I got this into GalNet: https://news.galnet.fr/freelance-report-pleased-to-eat-you-4/

"We have heard everything about these space barnacles," declared controversial chef Oliver Gordon today outside his exclusive restaurant 'PanGalactic', "and yet the most important question has yet to be asked: how they taste."


"I have sampled delicacies from all across the galaxy, such as Soylent White, Ceti Rabbits and Vacuum Krill, now I seek new flavours to tantalize my clientele- I plan to create the ultimate dish fit for an emperor: space barnacle broth with a Deuringas Truffle oil foam and Ochoeng Chilli reduction."


When asked about the ethics of eating a possibly sentient being, Gordon was dismissive:


"Food and the act of eating is beyond petty morality. There can be no higher honour than to be lovingly prepared by my highly trained master chefs, then served to the galaxies most demanding connoisseurs in my restaurant located in an area of space governed by fellow gastronomes who understand my art."

Sadly FD did not think its follow up was suitable :( :

"It was all going so well," remarked PanGalactic's maitre'd after the first service of space barnacle broth with Deuringas Truffles and Ochoeng Chilli, "until guests started melting".


Earlier that evening chef Oliver Gordon had met rapturous applause as celebrities sampled the flamboyant restaurateurs latest creation, but as service finished events took a sinister turn.


"For a minute we thought we had overdone the chilli" said sous chef Cleo Sote, "but after wafer thin mints were served we knew something had gone terribly wrong as guests started dissolving at their tables."


One attending paramedic described the scene as something from a horror sim, quoting: "Not even the Cerberus Plague turns you inside out. Victims were literally being mopped from the floor."


Tests later revealed large quantities of barnacle flesh to be highly corrosive when eaten with Deuringas Truffles, the key garnish in the meal.


After facing copyright issues from Pan Galactic Mining Corp, the restaurant remains closed pending investigation by the Galactic Food Standards Agency. Oliver Gordon himself was unavailable for comment.
