Mushbloom pie

Mushbloom pie was a savory pie created by the Artiodac chef Strono Tuggs, who used the fungus known as the mushbloom from the Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk. The dish was edible to Wookiees and considered a delicacy in Kashyyykian culture to the species. After the chef published his first cookbook in 34 ABY, he included a recipe for mushbloom pie in his holiday cookbook, The Life Day Cookbook, where he mentioned that species that were not as carnivorous as the Wookiees could enjoy the pie as a tasty meal on the holiday of Life Day.

At some point by 35 ABY, the wife of the Wookiee Chewbacca—Mallatobuck—prepared mushbloom pies as part of her Life Day meal preparations. Chewbacca considered his wife's cooking better than even Tuggs' legendary dishes, an opinion which the protocol droid C-3PO included in an entry on the Wookiee's tribe in his book The Secrets of the Wookiees.
