A Mandalorian Feast! [Closed]
Who: Bo-Katan, Mando, Riz, Boober, Shadowmaru, and Gobo
Where: Mando's Apartment in Saffron City
When: Early August
Summary: Bo-Katan makes a Mandalorian feast for Mando's family.
A - Slaving Away in the Kitchen
Something was up.
Bo-Katan had come back from Lavender Town that past weekend, but instead of relaxing or taking it easy, she was very busy. The day before she had gone out shopping and brought back... a LOT of food. Her Cyclizar had to help her carry it all back as it was simply too much for her two hands to hold onto. The fridge and pantry were practically overflowing with everything she had come back with. She then spent that evening cleaning and polishing her armor as a Mandalorian does every now and then.
The next day, her armor stacked neatly in a corner of the living room, she really got to work. Wearing her bird keeper outfit, she took over the kitchen early in the morning. Sorry Boober, she knows this is usually your space but she's usurping your rule for today. Bo-Katan starts by brewing a pot of spiced caf, which is really just coffee with spices added to it, knowing she's going to need it to keep her going. Once she downed her first cup, she used a couple hair clips to keep her hair out of her face, and got to work.
Throughout the day she would be working diligently. It's been a long time since she's done anything like this, but the Mandalorian princess was determined to do it right. Or at least as right as she could. After all, many of the ingredients she needed were not available in this world. So she did her absolute best to find good substitutes. The smells of food filling the apartment at all hours as she worked. At one point there was the distinct smell of bread, another there was the smell of meat and vegetables cooking, later one could swear the air would burn their nose hairs off with the spices that were being used, and eventually a pleasantly sweet aroma filled the place.
Anyone who was curious about what was going on was free to stick their head in, but she would rarely slow down with the exception of a short break here and there. It was hot and grueling work, but she hoped it would pay off.
B - The Feast
Eventually it would all be ready. Bo-Katan had made sure to send out a couple of invitations in advance to both Shadowmaru and Gobo, and sent messages to Din and Riz urging them get home on time. Bo-Katan took a quick shower, fixed her hair, and put on her armor.
As everyone arrived, they would find the kitchen table absolutely covered with food. A spread fit for a Mandalorian king. There was a plate of fresh haarshun bread made from scratch. Next to that was a pot of warm pog soup also made from scratch and completely vegetarian. With cups set next to the pot and a ladle with which to scoop the soup into them. It would be recommended that the bread be dipped into the soup. In the middle of the table were slices of roasted meat. Roast shatual is what she would call it, with the addendum that it's actually Skiddo meat but its the closest thing she could find. Bo having taken the time to select the cut of meat used at a butcher and having them roast it to her specifications as doing so over an open flame in the apartment was probably not a good idea. Across from the shatual was the gi dumpling soup. This soup featuring meaty dumplings made with Magikarp meat, again made from scratch. There's two pots of it, one with the fish meat, and another with dumplings containing tofu for the Fraggles. If anyone had been wondering what the spiciness was all about, they would find out with the pot of Tiingilar. A hearty stew of vegetables and hoothoot meat, and a smaller pot of it lacking the meat for the Fraggles. Be warned, it's very spicy! Next to that is a simple salad and a pot of "not quite Cassius tea but close enough" set next to it which is some sort of fragrant green tea. Finally, there is what looks to be a large cake covered in confectioner's sugar. The uj'alayi, or uj cake for short, is placed at the end for dessert. It's sticky and sweet, but very filling. Bo-Katan having especially put all her thought and care into this as its near and dear to her. There's even a couple other cakes set aside for later, wrapped in red cloth.
Cutlery, plates, bowls, and cups are all set out for use with the food. There is a lot of it so eat your fill! Even if everyone eats ravenously there's likely enough to have leftovers for days. Bo-Katan knows that at least one of them will eat alone in another room, so it's all very casual. She simply sits back with her own bowl of tiingilar, a cup of tea, and a plate of uj'alayi. Enjoying watching everyone else try the food.
((OOC: This is a mingle prompt! You don't just have to tag Bo. Feel free to tag among each other!))
C - After the Meal
What Mandalorian feast is complete without the booze? Once everyone has had their fill of food, Bo-Katan breaks out a bottle of alcohol. Naturally she couldn't get a bottle of Mandalorian wine, but she found something suitable enough. Rest assured, it's very strong. She wouldn't have it any other way.
This is, of course, for the adults. Sorry kids, but while you guys pass out into food comas, the grown-ups are going to enjoy the good stuff. Or at the very least, Bo will. After a long hard day, she feels she deserves it. As well as some conversation if anyone else is up for it.

Excellent XD
She's honestly amazed at his fortitude. Many non-Mandalorians would not be able to handle that amount of heat. This pleases her.
no subject
"Me and mom don't really cook traditional Goblin stuff though. But my aunt has a little restaurant that serve Goblin food, so we get it when we visit my dad's family."
Which, admittedly, they don't quite do as often as they should. Both Riz and his mom are just so busy. It's hard to make the time.
no subject
Not everything was spicy of course, but much of their food wasn’t frilly. It was meant for survival and to keep a warrior strong and in good health.
“Unfortunately, Din’s covert didn’t seem to expose him much to traditional food so this will be a new experience for him too.”
no subject
Listen, Riz is a Goblin and therefore eats everything. He has scrounged food from trash cans and best by dates are a joke to his people. And even with all of that, the 'dishes' Kristen sometimes talks about her family eating sound horrible. Just... just so much bland corn based stuff!
no subject
"I lived with them for a few months, we mostly ate packaged rations. Would have done this for them too if we actually had the supplies."
Here there was an at least an abundance of fresh food. Something that Mandalorians didn't always readily have at their disposal. Especially when they were living on that dinosaur infested desert planet.
no subject
Cults, man. Not even once.
(except somehow Riz finds himself brushing up against them time and time again.)
no subject
“That’s…” she had no words. Bo is grateful that the Children of the Watch didn’t go that far. She was certain she would have lost her mind if they had.
“If Din starts eating his armor I promise to put him out of his misery.”
no subject
Riz sighs a little, sounding very put on -- much as if he is the adult who has to watch out for Mando.
"He's pretty susceptible to that kind of stuff. He gave his kid away to some weird wizard cult." Weird wizard cult, Jedis. Same difference. "That's like... two for two on cult stuff. Sometimes I worry that if a cult shows up here, he'll fall for 'em faster than Boober did for all that homeshopping stuff."
no subject
She has to snort a little in amusement at Riz’s choice of words for them. Going back to preparing food as she talked.
“I knew some of them, fought beside them actually. Grogu was one of them until the Empire wiped them out.”
The Jedi were a lot of things, and admittedly she hadn’t always liked their decisions. She’s not sure she would call them a cult though.
no subject
For very obvious reasons, the idea of separating kids from their parents is something that hits far too close to home for Riz. The years without Pok had been hard, but their separation had been out of their hands. Pok hadn't wanted to die. He had died doing his job, died while trying to make the world a safer place. Riz had enormous amounts of respect for that.
If his father had been alive but kept from him by anyone for some bullshit reason, well, Riz certainly wouldn't respond very well to that.
no subject
"I was there when the Jedi took him, and he never said anything about that." Huh. Did Din try to see Grogu again and was denied? She can't remember him ever saying anything about that either. She then shrugged.
"Grogu went with him willingly. It wasn't forced on either of them. The Jedi though, do like to keep to themselves. I can't claim to completely understand them. But what I can say, is that Grogu chose to come back to him. The three of us spent several months together before I came here."
She's neither defending or blasting the Jedi. They have proven to be good allies, and she has friends among them.
no subject
At the time, Mando hadn't even seemed to get how deeply unsettling it was for the Jedi to keep him from his kid. He had almost seemed to accept it as the way things were supposed to be. Probably because of the cult upbringing.
"But he gets the kid back, huh? That's good. Kids should be with their parents."
no subject
“Yes… they do,” Bo-Katan says quietly. She can agree with that, but things didn’t always work out that way. She didn’t always agree with the Jedi, far from it, but she respected them. So she’s going to move on from that particular topic.
“I witnessed him officially adopt Grogu as his son.”
