"I would say please but—"
"It gives you a rash."
"That and grilled ormachek."
―Ghal Tarpfen and Velko Jahen[1]

Grilled ormachek was a food item that gave the Mon Calamari Ghal Tarpfen a rash.[1] In 231 BBY,[2] she mentioned it to the Soikan Velko Jahen while joking that saying "please" also resulted in a rash for the Mon Cal.[1]

This section of the article assumes 100% game completion of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Any alternate stories may be noted in the "Behind the scenes" section. The events in this section may or may not have been confirmed as canon.

In 9 BBY,[3] the Latero pilot Greez Dritus suggested to Jedi Knight Cal Kestis that they eat ormachek as well as colo claw roe and deep-fried nuna legs once they reached the planet Tanalorr. Kestis was dubious that Dritus could procure all of the items, but Dritus was confident that he could.[4]
