Kerkoidia Grains

Kerkoidia Grains was a vegetarian dish consisting of a bowl of steamed grains harvested from a grass that grew on the Expansion Region planet Kerkoidia. The grains were a vibrant blue and the dish was filling. The Artiodac chef Strono Tuggs created the dish after experimenting with different ways to cook the versatile grains during a culinary tour of the galaxy that he took^[1] between 34 ABY and 35 ABY.^[2]

Tuggs then included the recipe for the dish in his third cookbook, The Ultimate Cookbook, which was published^[1] in 35 ABY.^[2] In the book, Tuggs described the dish as simple and said he preferred serving it with an entrée. He also used Kerkoidia Grains as a component of Byblos Squares, another dish included in the book.^[1]
