Hynestia Spheres

Hynestia Spheres was a type of vegetarian salad served cold and made up of roasted and seasoned spherical brown tubers. It originated on Hynestia Prime, an ice planet in the Colonies where it was difficult to grow any crops other than root vegetables like the tubers. The dish was supposedly a favorite of the world's royal family, but versions were also served among the common folk of Hynestia.

The Artiodac chef Strono Tuggs fell in love with Hynestia Spheres after being served them alongside a glass of purple glandis flower juice at the Frozen Kova cantina on Hynestia during a culinary tour he took of the galaxy between 34 ABY and 35 ABY. In 35 ABY, Tuggs included a recipe for the salad in his third cookbook, The Ultimate Cookbook, in which he claimed the bite-sized tubers were one of the few things worth braving the freezing conditions of Hynestia for.
