DO NOT READ IF SENSITIVE TOWARDS ANY MYTHOLOGY. People may speak of eating your favorite beings, please be prepared for such.

To start off, While I am a pescatarian, I think biblical angels would be delicious fried / grilled, specifically the ones who aren’t high enough to be abstract shapes, as I do not think I can stomach a wheel.

    Gonna eat all the Wuxia pills.

    Heavenly Pearl pill? Nom. Nine Color White Lotus pill? Nom. Holy Flame pill? Nom. You refine it, I dine it.

    Once I eat all the dānyào Mike ‘n’ Ikes I’ll either leave the room a Dragon Warrior or I’ll meet Master Oogway in the spirit realm. Maybe he can give me advice on the Daoist approach on debugging C++ multithreading.

    If my soul evaporates it’ll be a bummer tho

    I’m not sensitive to mythology. Couldn’t care less about any of them, 100% atheist. But… are y’all meat eaters okay?Deaming what sentient, and often benevolent kind creatures would taste like is just wild.

    You won’t eat beef, but a literal messenger of the god would be fair game? I know this is a silly hypothetical, but I don’t understand these metrics at all. 😂

      It’s called “mortal comradeship”, thats why the birds, bees, and squirls sit with me during lunch.

      (this entire thread is humorous and I believe you are obtuse)

    I loved swordfish steak the one time I had it, so I’d bet that Scylla, Charybdis, or the Kraken would be quite good.

    Oh, also The Kraken is quite tasty.

    I would most prefer the Tyrant (the judeo-muslim-Christian God) because nothing tastes better than vindictive spite.

    Flying spaghetti monster feels quite obvious

    Beyond that I’m vegan so I’d eat snacks off Aphrodite’s belly, therefore snacking upon Aphrodite

    A bite of the Ouroboros, why should the serpent be the only one that gets a taste of itself?

    I’d say Idun’s apples for the immortality, but those aren’t a deity/being, so I guess Idun? Maybe that works too

    I bet Jörmungandr the world-serpent, who gnaws at the roots of Yggdrasil-tree, destined to kill and be killed by Thor, tastes like chicken.

    A medium rare Phoenix might be interesting. Though you’d have to work really hard not to burn it, else you get a baby Phoenix.

    Many early generation Pokemon might be delicious. I don’t want to eat any steel type Pokemon.

      Charcoal grilled phoenix might be good! Maybe basted in some really hot chili sauce? Or maybe even as simple as a soy sauce based baste. Keeping the phoeinix moist with some basting liquid is probably a good way to keep it from burning.

      I don’t mind a deep-fried baby Phoenix tho.

      I never thought about burning a phoenix might be problematic. But isn’t that an infinite phoenix glitch in which someone can keep making more phoenixes to eat?

          I think if not fleshed out in the mythology being used in the setting, it’s in the DM’s prerogative. If I were DM, I’d say the Phoenix has to actually die before it can respawn.

          Slicing off a Phoenix’s wings will just result in an injured and very pissed-off Phoenix.

          Moreover, I’d stipulate that whatever Phoenix parts (butchered, raw, or cooked, or even partly-digested) would disappear whenever that Phoenix respawns. And for a spicy twist: someone who digests any part of a Phoenix will have a psychic link to the Phoenix. Wisdom check after every long rest (three days after ingesting the Phoenix) to determine whether or not the person retains control of their body. Failing this wisdom check thrice in a row results in the Phoenix gaining complete control. Succeeding this wisdom check thrice in a row results in the person regaining complete control of their own body.

          EDIT:

          Thinking about this more, I think this can be fleshed out even more. There is only one Phoenix, which was eaten by a bunch of people believing eating it would result in gaining whatever powers the Phoenix originally had, maybe being impervious to fire. However, the Phoenix took over their bodies instead. Many many many years later, the Phoenix never really dies: it just choose a body it controls, and transforms it to “its original body”. Thus, now, the Phoenix is known for its “immortality”.
