Pickled mynock

Pickled mynock was a party dish made from mynocks, a type of silicon-based parasite known to suck the power from starships. The Artiodac chef Strono Tuggs created the dish after convincing one of the servers at Oga's Cantina in Black Spire Outpost on the planet Batuu to let him taste the pickled mynock they kept as a drink ingredient in a tank behind the bar. Tuggs, who had previously only thought of mynocks as worthless pests, was amazed at the flavor of the pickled creature, so he began serving them to hungry party-goers. At some point after Tuggs published his first cookbook in 34 ABY, the chef included a recipe for pickled mynock in his second cookbook, The Life Day Cookbook.

At some point no earlier than 35 ABY, Galactic Society of Creature Enthusiasts' cartographer Ardis San Tekka, mentioned pickled mynock as a popular galaxy-wide drink additive in her journal. While conducting research for it, she sampled a beverage with pickled mynock on Batuu.
