Pickled Paddy Flower

Pickled Paddy Flowers were a dish made by the chef Strono Tuggs from hearty desert flowers brined in salty water. He made the vegetarian dish in place of a Klatooine paddy frog recipe while on a tour of Hutt Space after learning that it was not paddy frog season. He then included a recipe for the flowers in his third cookbook, The Ultimate Cookbook, in 35 ABY.
==Description==
Pickled Paddy Flowers were a vegetarian dish made with hearty, green desert flowers brined in and served in clear, salty water from a Klatooine paddy frog bowl.
==History==
During a tour of Hutt Space booked by the Hutts that the Artiodac chef Strono Tuggs made as part of a larger culinary tour of the galaxy between 34 ABY and 35 ABY, Tuggs visited the planet Klatooine to find paddy frogs to create a dish for his Hutt benefactors.
After learning that it was not the correct season to find the frogs, the chef instead came up with the Pickled Paddy Flowers, using flowers from Klatooine's deserts and salt water from the Hutts' own frog bowls to create all the same flavors as the frogs themselves without any of the wriggling, as the frogs were usually eaten alive. Tuggs included a recipe for the dish in his third cookbook, The Ultimate Cookbook, which was published in 35 ABY. The book also used the Pickled Paddy Flowers as an ingredient in the recipe for Byblos Squares, a popular dish on the streets of the Colonies planet Byblos.
==Behind the scenes==
Pickled Paddy Flowers were created as a recipe for the 2023 Star Wars: The Ultimate Cookbook, a recipe book written by Jenn Fujikawa and Marc Sumerak with photographs by Ted Thomas. The out-of-universe recipe for the dish makes use of peeled and sliced English cucumber, kosher salt, granulated sugar, and white wine vinegar.
