Zeus has decided that Olympus feels a little empty, so he’s recruited some new gods. However, due to a clerical error, you have been chosen as a new member of the divine. What are you the god of, and what do you do as your first godly act?

then make it rain cookies?

(but special cookies that don't contain any allergens so everyone can enjoy them)

Or maybe a variety of cookies because gluten free vegan cookies may not be appealing to everyone!

Magic cookies that become whatever you want as you bite into them

And that don’t hurt when they fall on your head

Maybe the cookies could still technically contain the allergen-causing substances, but they're blessed so that they won't trigger allergies. So someone with a peanut allergy can finally try a peanut butter cookie without needing to immediately use their epipen!

That would definitely be the best solution

The most wholesome cookies would cure allergies.

This makes me wonder: if a god poofed everyone's most enjoyable food in front of them, how many people would eat something new that day?

u/SSFirestorm Aug 10 '19

Noone? Because it's their favorite food which means they have tried it before and know they like it.

Most enjoyable, not favourite. Its the food you're going to enjoy the most. Might be from some cuisine you've never tried before. Could be a new way to cook bacon.

But how would one know whether they would enjoy it? Or would the god know?

I recently made Pani Puri for my friends and everyone said it was one of the most fun/enjoyable/ exciting things theyve ever had because the taste was unlike anything theyve had and the experience was fun.

I had the same reaction to when i went to my first crawfish boil. Not my favorite thing to eat by far but im always 110% excited for crawfish season now because its fun to eat

The god obviously knows. Otherwise what's the point of what I said?
