The food of the planes

Just to make this clear: This is in no way to be confused with the weird planar food and drink thread. This is for stuff your characters might actually consider eating.

I was hoping that, ofr the doomguard Bar and Grill, I could offer a bit more on the menu then just the rather bland choices for meal givin in the equipment area of the PHB.

and to kick it off, something I ripped off of a sci-fi I once wrote...

Chargers: This clear yellow liquid is always served in a glass container, never metal. The flavor is rich and fruity, with a faint hint of salt. But the flavor is only a small part of its worth.
Upon comsumption, this drink releases a faint electrical charge, sending a shiver up the spine and flooding your nerves with a strange, but not unpleasent, tingle. This effect stimulates the body (reducing the effects of fatigue or exhaustion by 1 per mug), and can make your hair stand on end. But, if served in a metal container, the charge dissapes quickly, lost.
Be warned, however. If you drink more then three charges in an hour, there is a 40% chance that you take 1 shock damage. While this is not deadly, it can leave you with a twitch for several weeks.
price: 1 sp per 3 mugs

well, if Entropic Jim's caters to all types, I guess that could be the mindflayer happy meal. Do Illithids get happy?
Fine... the Mindflayer slightly-less-likly-to-kill-you-for-the-pleasure-of-your- death-screams Meal. Also known as the Mslltkyftpoyds meal.

Uh... How about baked Beholder Retina in a cream sauce? Just a dash of Ghennen Spice.... mmmmm!

Fireseeds would be good for a nice hot paste served atop a grilled howler flank, roasted over dried black anemone (both from Pandemonium).

How about: Elemental Air Puff Pastries. These delicious little sweetmeats float gently above your plate as your waiter brings them to the table. A single puff and they float a couple of inches away. Not to be eaten outdoors, because a strong gust could make your snack disappear over the horizon. Each pastry looks like a fluffy little cloud during a sunset, tinted in oranges, violets and robin's egg blue. They taste delicately sweet, like a sherbet ice cream.

Man. Those gimme gas. I mean you don't need any spellcasting abilities to create a lethal stinking cloud with just one of those things.

Enjoy!

Ash, some day I'm going to have to take a gander at all the other "old" files you've got stashed away somewhere.

I appreciate this little *gem* though Eye-wink.

Actually, Fell, I'm trying to slowly pull them out and give them back to the PS community (i.e. see sig)! Eye-wink

On that note: Everyone remember to update the sigs! The topic numbers are still the same - but the format of the file name may have changed.

For the purposes of grilling, every eatery should have a portal to the planes of Salt, Water, and Fire. Figure out the reasons for yourself. Also, I suspect more than a few serve freshly cooked planewalkers.

And Vacuum as well. Why? Easy cleanup afterwards.

There are small pockets of ooze where portals to the positive energy plane opens up. In these pockets the oozes turn into condiments. So you find fields of ketchup, mayonaise, holendaise and other sauces.

Considering that vortices to the paraplane of Ooze form in places with a high degree of filth, I'm not really that anxious to know what goes into the "secret sauce" :shock:...

One re-occuring beverage in my game is "Old Brimstone: 98% volatile, Bottled by Boneyard Distilleries, Malbolge." (originally lifted from Dragon Magazine's best comic ever, Wormy) Fiends and Tieflings are fond of it, but humanoids without a fire subtype should not drink it in larger amounts than a shot glass. It is traditionally served aflame (small mushroom cloud comes out of the tankard), but even unlit...lets just say a small bottle of it would make good survival gear for a trip to the plane of ice. For a day or two after drinking "Old Brimstone" one might feel that there is something EVIL lurking down in the pit of their bowels.

i read about the cranium rat brain smoothie and i thought maybe we should make a smoothie from the entire cranium rat (except the bones) because that would mean more smoothie to go around

Yes but brains are tatstier by themselves. How about fried stygian fish with a side of raosted shad?
