Gruuvan Shaal Kebab

Gruuvan Shaal Kebabs were a type of traditional Twi'lek kebab made from meats and vegetables that were skewered on sticks. The kebabs were consumable by Twi'leks and Artiodacs and were considered savory. For some time, the skewers of the Gruuvan Shaal Kebabs were banned from Takodana Castle on the planetStar Wars: The Force Awakens: The Visual Dictionary Takodana because Maz Kanata, owner of the castle, had outlawed all utensils in order to prevent fighting. She eventually decided to lift the ban on utensils, so her chef, Strono Tuggs, brought out his skewers and began grilling the kebabs once more.
In 34 ABY, Tuggs published a recipe for the kebabs in his The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook. In the book, he noted that they were a classic Twi'lek dish, and he shared the story of their temporary ban at Takodana Castle.
