Re: Chacteristic foods of your campaigns?
...I am not sure if you are actually serious or if I failed my spot check for the joke.

Human anatomy is somewhat transitional - and many other apes are obligate herbivores. It's actually not that unusual for species to show signs of being adapted to eat something else, or a less than perfect fit to what they are currently eating. Changing your diet is apparently not a particularly hard thing to do evolutionarily, but it takes a while for your dental anatomy and digestive system to catch up.

Conversely I never understood how Firefly, with every other stop being a touch-down in low tech farming communities found fresh food hard to come by. Someone's been playing NetHack again? |

Re: Chacteristic foods of your campaigns?
Part of that, I think, was the overly long roundabout routes that Mal constantly had Wash program into Serenity's navcomp in order to avoid Alliance patrols, meaning that their fresh food ran out faster than the pre-packaged stuff.

Re: Chacteristic foods of your campaigns?
That would probably make sense - it's just that there's a certain amount of dissonance from what's visible on screen where it appears that fresh food is rare and expensive as opposed to running out quickly.

Re: Chacteristic foods of your campaigns?
So basically he needs to convert some of that useless free volume (which all on screen ships and spacecraft have lots of, you want to be able to get more than one character into a shot) into a bigger freezer?

Eels do worry some people. A group of characters once did a quest for the Temple of the Eel, which was on a fantasy version of the Isle of Ely. One of the players still twitches a lot if it comes up.

I consider it an amazing form of adaptability, not a call for some silly back to nature veganism.

I find it ironic that I am the least easily food disgusted person I've ever met, yet have the strictest dietary requirements. Born lactose intolerant - Non dairy formula invented in the 20th century. Diabetic with some odd triggers - why does jalapenos blow up my readings? No mammals - my one voluntary restriction. I've gleefully eaten things that made others gag or even get sick. 6 people eat out; 5 get sick.
