customer from beyond

i thought up of this q when i visited a bookstore today, and i had to get it down immediately!!! 

if you could operate a food truck that serves customers from across the entire galaxy, as a representation of earth's food, what would you serve? 

no pressure on being the only representative tho, of course. i'm sure many other humans would join you in the stars to serve awesome meals and share food around the universe~ but really! what would you choose?

i would HAVE to choose boba, no questions asked and without doubts. it's a versatile drink, with different types of teas, milks, fruits and flavors. and of course, you have the boba and other toppings, which are the most important / fun part of drinking boba! and it can be served hot or cold. i bet that as we go to ther planets as well, we could integrate their popular flavors and native plants / foods into new drinks. so aside from serving boba and spreading the awesomeness of boba around the galaxy, it would also be a way to learn about and add new flavor experiences into one's life...

but if i was hard-pressed to serve a food item rather than a drink, i would actually choose bibingka (or various types of kakanin in general) or pizza. i think that would be fun. what about you~?

anyway. the reason why this popped into my head is that while at the bookstore, i came across a comic book series i used to be interested in: galactic hot dogs. i don't exactly remember what happens in the series anymore, but i do remember intergalactic food trucks and a battle royale. and our main character served hot dogs, of course. i think chili dogs were really important in combat, but i don't remember how exactly. maybe i should reread it, lolz.

eep~ i have another series of posts lined up soon, so i hope you'll stick around for them. it's another kpop web deep dive, and more substantial this time. so substantial, i had to split it into parts...

i really love pasta and so do a lot of people on earth, so my intergalactic food truck would specialize in that (pretending i know how to cook here). i'd have foods like simple mac and cheese, fettuccine alfredo, spaghetti, and shrimp scampi (my faveee~ ♡) and then for drinks, i'd definitely have sodas and juices. i would like to watch an alien drink sprite! :D

i'm looking forward to your upcoming posts~~!!!

YAYAYAYAYY PASTA!!!!!!!!!! i was thinking pasta too tbh, but i don't know enough types of pasta to really pull it off. but i luv the idea of simple choices!!! they're easy for others to approach and are easy to make :D (also extra points for shrimp scampi... i luv it sm. do you like shrimp scampi from a particular restaurant, or does someone make a really good homemade version? :?)

aliens trying soda would be interesting. thinking about it, soda is already a strange beverage on its own... like who decided to do that one day? and liked it? ah well.

i would def visit ur intergalactic food truck :3

i like eating it from restaurants when it's available, but my mom makes the BESTTT homemade shrimp scampi.

i'm glad someone decided to make it bc soda is just so fun. i love all the bubbles and fizz and the different flavors!
