Huttese slime pod

Huttese slime pods were a food consisting of green-colored lumps with red seasoning. The Artiodac chef Strono Tuggs created the dish after spending time on Nal Hutta, a planet inhabited by the Hutt species, on an unsuccessful search for exotic spices. After he ran afoul of the Hutts and was captured, he successfully bartered his talents as a chef to secure his freedom from the galactic gangsters. He was surprised to discover that slime pods, one of the small creatures that Hutts snacked on, were delicious.

Although Tuggs was unable to collect any of the slimy swamp-dwelling creatures in his haste to leave, they inspired the main course that shared their name. In 34 ABY, he published the recipe for Huttese slime pods in his cookbook The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook along with an anecdote about how he created them.
