Roast shatual

Roast shatual was a meal enjoyed by numerous members of the Mandalorian culture. Prepared from the meat of a shatual—a species of animal native to the veshok-tree forests of Mandalore,Order 66: A Republic Commando Novel the Mandalorians' cultural homeworld located in the galaxy's Outer RimThe Essential Atlas—the creature would first be butchered, and its meat then roasted over an open flame until cooked to satisfaction. The roasted shatual meat was then sliced and served.
In the year 21 BBY, the strill known as Lord Mirdalan hunted and killed a shatual, returning with its prize to its master and friends within Clan Skirata at their home of Kyrimorut on Mandalore. There, family friend Rav Bralor butchered the catch and roasted the shatual meat over an open fire, and the extended clan dined on the resulting meal that evening. Shortly after, slices of leftover roast shatual were wrapped up to be taken by the Jedi Knight Etain Tur-Mukan back to the unit of clone commandos known as Omega Squad, her lover Darman among them.
Later in 19 BBY, following the end of the Clone Wars, more roast shatual was prepared at the Skirata home, and several members of the clan enjoyed slices of the fire-roasted meat at their leisure.Imperial Commando: 501st
