Think This Is An Unhealthy Meal - Tumblr Posts

Which one of your creatures tastes best when cooked?

I was planning to do a bit more than this but sadly my mind is not doing the thing (the focus). Also- the "tastes the best" here only applies to some people of a single species.

This is a parasitic fruit (it does not aid in reproduction of the plant) you only really see once a year. It's often hard to spot and even harder to harvest at the right time as it's one of the few mobile fruits that changes its host plant regularly. (And when ripe it explodes and rots away very fast.)

However, because of its size, rarity, and traits, it's considered a delicacy. If you were to compare it to human foods, this fruit is fatty, very sweet and the bottom part can taste quite meatlike.

It's best served steamed or 'grilled' with raw eggsseeds. No seasoning added. Don't overcook it or it becomes mushy inside.

Can be made into gourmand alcohol.

Foru flora fruit reproduction - for context: The fruit of Foru trees is alive. Small flying animals, sometimes difficult to see with a naked eye, spread 'pollen' (sometimes also spores/seeds) of plants and later some of them attach themselves to a new plant. There they begin injecting the plant with signals that make it start feeding them. As the small organism matures it loses its eyes, legs and stops producing wastes. The plant, now connected firmly to the animal grows it's seeds inside the animal, using it as protection and 'incubator' of those seeds. In the meanwhile the fruit also gets fertilized and produces eggs in its top layer. While it depends on species, most often a ripe fruit dies and opens its back to release hundreds of small frying creatures. The remaining fruit might get eaten by another animal or fall on a comfy spot where seeds can start growing.

These designs might not be final. Still working out Foru flora.
