The Flying Spaghetti Monster.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I've been off gluten for a while now for medical reasons and god damn this a thousand times. I would kill for some decent spaghetti.

All the gluten free ones are kinda shit.

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I would imagine the FSM to be composed of the platonic ideal of gluten rather than physical gluten, though I'm not sure if that would be more irritating or less. I'd consult a GI and maybe a metaphysician.

[–] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

Metaphysician here. The platonic ideal of gluten will induce the platonic ideal of diarrhea. Honestly I'm not going to call that a good trade, but that's an exercise for the reader.

[–] tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Is there gluten in chickpeas? I kinda prefer it to regular

I mean Jesus is pretty tasty in small doses as is.

[–] megane_kun@lemm.ee 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Jesus wafers with grape jelly is something I'd definitely snack on.

[–] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)
[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 week ago

Grape jelly could be considered solid wine

I love Tom! I was originally going to go down this line with my comment and didn’t think anyone would get it. Thanks.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 2 points 1 week ago

Hah,I didn't know either, but love that you are around!

Ok, hear me out... Minotaur sausages.

[–] doomsdayrs@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 week ago

Oooooo, imagine the anger packed in them.

Dibs on the prime rib!

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 27 points 1 week ago (3 children)

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.

[–] megane_kun@lemm.ee 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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?

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Dark thought for a D&D group: How much of a Phoenix do you think you need to keep for it to respawn?

[–] megane_kun@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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".

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

[–] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm a vegetarian so I want either a golden apple or an apple from Eden.

[–] doomsdayrs@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)
[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

A golden apple enscribed with "kallisti".

[–] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I'm not picky.

[–] The_Che_Banana@beehaw.org 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

A Griffin, the Turducken of the Middle Ages

[–] doomsdayrs@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago

Ehehehhehe, turducken.

Ironically, the best.

[–] Jonnyprophet@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Wow... Legit. All you can eat too. Just stop back tomorrow.

Cthulu Nigiri maybe?

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

[–] apotheotic@beehaw.org 14 points 1 week ago

Flying spaghetti monster feels quite obvious

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

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Didn't Zeus go around appearing as things like swans? Is swan like goose? Christmas Zeus, with a bonus of all that fat to fry potatoes in is my choice. Just gotta catch him in swan form.

[–] Jonnyprophet@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Tiny Tim: Mom, look at the Christmas Zeus! It's almost as big as me!

[–] megane_kun@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

The problem with ingesting Zeus is that I'd have a good chance (nearly 100% based on my Greek mythology knowledge) I'd end up being pregnant and incurring Hera's wrath, or being whisked to Olympus as his winebearer... or both!

[–] notfromhere@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I bet Aphrodite would taste divine.

Bro's gonna get to the great beyond and experience horrors beyond human comprehension for this one

[–] binary45@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

I’d say one of those immortality peaches from Chinese myth. Probably one of the eternal youth ones that blooms every six thousand years.

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

Allah can turn things to ice, and thus would be mint flavored.

[–] doomsdayrs@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

A nice Caribbean Faun curry sounds delicious.

[–] NichtElias@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

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

[–] fool@programming.dev 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] doomsdayrs@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

I wish you best of luck in comprehending the dao of programming.
