Simmered Golden Pheasant

Simmered Golden Pheasant was a meat dish consisting of a golden pheasant simmered and seasoned with an ancient Gungan spice blend that was said to be popular in the Royal House of the Mid Rim planet Naboo, homeworld of the pheasant. After taking a culinary tour of the galaxy between 34 ABY and 35 ABY, the Artiodac chef Strono Tuggs included a recipe for Simmered Golden Pheasant in his third cookbook, The Ultimate Cookbook, which was published in 35 ABY.

In the book, Tuggs speculated that if the factions involved in the Battle of Naboo—a conflict between the Jedi-backed people of Naboo and the Sith-backed Trade Federation that ultimately led to the Clone Wars—had sat down and talked over a meal of Simmered Golden Pheasant, they could have avoided any bloodshed and likely ended up only fighting over who would get the last piece of the dish.
