	*Gnazillae are a slug-like species originally found on Paa’kiim, a colony within the Traverse. Colonists initially discovered the species after conflicting scans related to the fertility of a plot designated for the colony’s first agricultural production facility. Further investigation eventually yielded the discovery of these insects, who feasted on the soil’s nutrients after a massive migration. They have since exploded in popularity, and are regularly farmed alongside Dyn, which they seem to avoid for some reason. The meat is noticeably sour when raw but develops into a nuanced and sophisticated garlicky taste after boiling.		*Gnazillae are a slug-like species originally found on Paa’kiim, a colony within the Traverse.

	*Neaera are a primate-like species found across the ~~Jargon~~ Federation, and sometimes within the greater Orion Spur, due to their versatile biology that allows them to survive in even the most inhospitable environments. They are supposedly eerily similar looking to the Solarian Chimpanzee, according to many. Skrell began farming the animals long before first contact with humanity, harvesting their organs for elaborate desserts. Their eyes are considered the tastiest part of the species.		*Neaera are a primate-like species found across the Nralakk Federation, and sometimes within the greater Orion Spur, due to their versatile biology that allows them to survive in even the most inhospitable environments.

	===Fruit & Vegetables===		===Fruit & Vegetables===
	*A fruit known as Dyn is native to the bogs, marshes, and river deltas of the ~~Jargon~~ Federation. In order for Dyn to flourish and thrive, it requires a lot of water, so it is cultivated exclusively within hydroponics across colonies. There are very few natural plantations outside of the Homeworld; those that do are often closely monitored by the ~~Jargon~~ Federation to ensure environmental preservation. Dyn can be roasted, blended into a puree or boiled to create tea.		*A fruit known as Dyn is native to the bogs, marshes, and river deltas of the Nralakk Federation.

	*A bioluminescent red seaweed-type vegetable that lives within the ocean floor and floats along the surface like algae, Fjylozyn is the namesake of Fjylo. Globetrotters were warned against sailing across the large glowing areas of red as the plants, after attaching to their crude nautical crafts, would effectively anchor the vessel in place as it began pulling it far below the surface to a trapping structure similar to that seen in the Solarian Venus Flytrap. In time, it was domesticated and became a good source of protein for vegetarian/vegan Skrell. It is usually boiled and tastes similar to sweet turnips.		*A bioluminescent red seaweed-type vegetable that lives within the ocean floor and floats along the surface like algae, Fjylozyn is the namesake of Fjylo.

	*The Wulumunusha fruit was originally found exclusively in the alpines of the Homeworld, but it has now spread throughout the ~~Jargon~~ Federation into almost every colony. The Skrell expanded into the arctic regions of the Homeworld and discovered the hardy Wulumunusha which seemed to survive even in the cold weather conditions, eventually causing several polar colonies to depend upon it for survival. It was discovered soon after that the leaves of the plant could be made into a powerful psychoactive tea, which would eventually become an important recipe for religious rites. The fruit of the Wulumunusha is often roasted, then mashed. The dish is rather bland, but spices usually solve this problem.		*The Wulumunusha fruit was originally found exclusively in the alpines of the Homeworld, but it has now spread throughout the Nralakk Federation into almost every colony.

	*Masaraaq is a fungus that flourishes within the caves of Aliose and is native to the chilly planet. Its mycelium network often grows wildly out of control without regularly pruning, and pervaded almost every crevice of the caves they were found within. For a brief period, some believed the species to be a sentient creature, but it was quickly discredited by numerous government-supported Idols. Masaraaq is often shredded and used within SkrellSnax.		*Masaraaq is a fungus that flourishes within the caves of Aliose and is native to the chilly planet.

	*Nycii is created using the milk secreted by the Aqoliz and has become a staple of the skrellian culinary landscape. To make Nycii, one must first steam it and then leave it to sit within a cold dark room while it matures over the course of about a season. After maturing, it becomes a thick, cheese-like substance that is often given to tadpoles in their early days. It is said to be initially sour, but it eventually develops into a savoury aftertaste.		*Nycii is created using the milk secreted by the Aqoliz and has become a staple of the skrellian culinary landscape.

	*Jyalra is created using Dyn and involves peeling and then mashing the fruit. The blue puree is often used as meal replacements by scientists, due to its relatively easy and time-efficient production. It is one of the most sold “junk foods” within the ~~Jargon~~ Federation but has unfortunately not been released to the greater Orion Spur. Many often remark Jyalra tastes considerably different to Dyn, and is far more dry and savoury than its original ingredient.		*Jyalra is created using Dyn and involves peeling and then mashing the fruit.

	*The Skrell consider Gnaqmi to be a delicacy, composed of fried Neaera organs filled with boiled Fjylozyn. A number of people have compared the flavour to that of a jelly pastry, with a delightful sweetness hidden in its first bite. Skrellian formal dinners are often round off with Gnaqmi. The dish is said to "complete" the meal and is a staple of many public events. It is often referred to as the "perfect combination", as the two ingredients complement each other’s tastes.		*The Skrell consider Gnaqmi to be a delicacy, composed of fried Neaera organs filled with boiled Fjylozyn.

	The Kona is a metal drum that holds around 4 Liters of liquid. It is accompanied by a baseplate that connects to the bottom of the Kona. Once the cook fills a Kona with a type of meat and liquid of their choosing they place it onto the baseplate. Once activated the Kona rapidly infuses the molluscan with the flavour and nutrient of the chosen liquid. This is similar to rapid brining or pickling. Kona’d Gnazillae infused with juiced Dyn has become a common meal across the ~~Jargon~~ Federation.		The Kona is a metal drum that holds around 4 Liters of liquid.

	Skrell exclusively use their hands when eating, in a process known as '''Mon''' or “with hands”. The act of eating with one's fingers is believed to be far more beneficial than eating with utensils because the bacteria that collect on the fingers leads to better gut health. In addition, it makes those who eat more focused on their meal, instead of letting their minds wander. Those who bend the knee to utensils often state that they are disconnected from their meals, with studies even showing increased illnesses for those who do. This has just reinforced the standard of Mon among the Skrell.		Skrell exclusively use their hands when eating, in a process known as '''Mon''' or “with hands”.

=Skrell Cuisine=
Throughout their history, [[Skrell]] place importance on the ability to harvest resources from their environment in order to sustain themselves. Whilst there are small nuances in [[Skrell]] preferences across the Federation, most will enjoy meals comprised of ingredients from their homeworld; Qerrbalak.

==Ingredients==
With most, if not all, dishes being devised of a few certain key elements - it is no surprise that there are massive agricultural sectors devoted to producing these instrumental ingredients in order to provide the [[Skrell]] throughout the [[Template:Aurora_Starmap| Orion Spur]] with their favourite meals. Originating from the oceanic regions of their homeworld, the Skrell will commonly use algae, aquatic flora, and edible molluscs with flavorful marinades, amplified by a myriad of other fruits and fungi found on the surface of the Homeworld. [[Skrell]] place great importance on the aroma of a dish, the more pungent the dish the more enjoyable it is believed to be; with some even going as far as to refuse to engage with a meal if the scent cannot be detected.

==Methods==
The preparation of such dishes depends on the intricate details of the respective dish: some taking less than ten minutes to prepare, with some on the opposite spectrum taking weeks. With such, there are three common methods used to produce the dishes across the Orion Spur;

*'''Shok''', a method first used by the [[Skrell]] almost a quarter of a million years ago, is the practice of cooking very thinly sliced ingredients in a deep pan with little to no oil. It is common to cook all the ingredients at the same time in order to preserve the high temperatures produced by the heat production point. Frequently used to produce Qilvo.

*'''Ecarc''', a method devised by the evolving [[Skrell]] to begin preparing raw meat. Ecard is described as simmering a protein on a low heat, combined with ocean water, over a period of a day. Ecarc primarily takes place in a shallow pan, just deep enough to hold a small quantity of ocean water. Frequently used to produce Xuq'qil.

*'''Kon’Qa''', yet another method formulated by the [[Skrell]] to prepare dishes with primarily aquatic ingredients. Kon’Qa refers to the scalding of said aquatic ingredients for a brief period, usually lasting until the water begins to boil, then quickly removing the respective ingredients in order to douse them with cold, running water to stop the cooking process. Usually made with the use of a bowl, producing Lortl.

==Ehin Diagram==
Early on in [[Skrell]] development, the formation of a food diagram was deemed to be necessary in order for all available resources to be efficiently used to produce meals that the Skrell could use to provide sustainable nourishment to all aspects of their body; be it mentally or physically. It was composed by [[Notable Skrell| Ehin Yuxtol]] in [[Skrell History| '''2109 BCE''']], and is designed as for every portion measured, it must be comprised of three equal parts: one part protein, one part organic produce and finally another comprised of starches.

==Dining Etiquette==
The [[Skrell]] view the preparation, and presentation, of a meal as incredibly important - combined with whether the aromatic scents are pungent enough to garner interest of said meal. It is considered incredibly trusting for a [[Skrell]] to be invited to partake in private dining with another, due to the consistent presence of [[Skrell History| looming threats]] issued by rivals that would usually strike when a [[Skrell]] is in isolation - meaning public spaces were far preferred. It is still considered as much as a vulnerability as it was then as it is today for one to participate in private dining, due to the constant threat posed by not only rivals but also their associates.

===Formal Dining Etiquette===
Upon dispensing invites, the host is expected to prepare for '''Wreles''' (loosely translating to soiree) over the next couple of days. Whilst seating plans are made available, they are hardly ever utilized by the [[Skrell]]; instead remaining on their feet and engaging with the other guests attending the Wreles until the meal is served. The period before the meal is served is called '''Vlorqii''' (First Dialogue). The [[Skrell]] will then seat themselves, and commence eating the meal. Following the completion of the meal, the [[Skrell]] will commence '''Vlorqoo''' (Second Dialogue), concluding the event and disembarking.

===Informal Dining Etiquette===
Once an invitation has been extended, the host commences preparation of the meal long before their guests arrivals - using a '''Sraso''': a thick-walled cooking pot with a tight-fitting lid. Commonly used over a hearth situated within a preparation chamber. The meal is expected to be ready when guests arrive, and after an exchange of dialogue, will be served.

The first helpings of the meal are served by the host - in no particular order. The informal gathering doesn’t use utensils, and instead will eat with their hands after rigorously washing them when they enter the [[Skrell]] abode. Thereafter, the leftovers are situated in a position that allows all guests to be able to reach for additional helpings if they so wish.

During the meal, [[Skrell]] will frequently engage in conversation - with those not doing so being seen as rude. Upon completion, Skrell can either finish the entirety of their meal to show their gratitude or they can also choose to leave a portion on their dining mat, expressing their dissatisfaction with said meal. The [[Skrell]] will then briefly exchange additional dialogues before departing from the abode.
