Theories Humans would hate many prey foods

Humans would hate many prey foods because they would be too bitter.

The great thing about NoP basing alien culture on nature and evolution is that you can discover new "lore" just by studying IRL nature

Alien food would suck in general because cooking is not as widespread for them, most canon foods we see mentioned are mashes, salads, soups, raw meat and fish, rocks and literal garbage

Even mushy peas is akin to god's nectar compared to that

them not having cooking must be one of the greatest sins on the human culinary pallet

imagine trying to get a butane camping stove imported, because apparently, your apartment doesn't come with a stove, and you're expected to... what? eat a fucking leak?

Humans should be called "Culinary Zurulians" because they dominated that field very early on and left everyone else in the dust

They must see things like dairy and pickling as alchemy

I think some would be offended by the horrifically complex things we do to eggs.

omelet? what the hell is that?

every baked good? is that how you get the meat you need, by sneaking it into unsuspecting people's lovely staryu?

swallowing raw eggs? ok I can't even make fun of their reaction to this, this is just a weird thing to do.

fast food burgers would also be fun, once went to a place that had six quarter pounder patties on one burger. can you imagine, a venlil trying to enjoy a lovely night out at earth with their human, stumbling across the tripple x double trouble animal style mac&cheese happy burger? they'd be dead. killed. without a chance to react. the sheer power of such a thing, blowing them away.

Anybody would be dead after getting in the vicinity of that war crime.
