Hey Godlings! Today we have a simply scintillating report, a mouth-watering discussion about a key ingredient in the delicious stew that makes up Dood lore in the Apeiron universe…you may have guessed by this point, we’re talking about Dood food!

As always, before we hustle on over to the kitchen, we have a little housekeeping to take care of: first, the Apeiron Grand Prix has started! This exciting event gives you the opportunity to win a Primeval Planet Core NFT absolutely free — and with Mythic, Arcane, and even Divine Cores up for grabs, there’s a hell of a lot of value to be gained here. Check out HERE for more info, and join the race!

Second, for our Primeval Planet Holders, we’ve launched our Apeiros (APRS) governance token Community Round participation survey this week! This will help us determine how we allocate our APRS, so make sure to check it out. We’ve got questions, and you’ve got answers, so…answer ‘em!

Now then, to the topic du jour — Dood food. The Doods, being almost universally a race of degenerate, lazy, pleasure-seeking hedonists, take a particular interest in food. Eating until you drop is not only a time-honored tradition, it’s a point of personal pride, with eating contests being one of the few recognized “sports” among the exercise-averse Doods.

Most famous among the competitive foodie doods in the godiverse is Joel Chestdood, who ate a record 1030 doodburgers in one afternoon. Upon finishing the last bite Chestdood immediately fell into a food coma which lasted for a week, but upon awakening, he was greeted with adoring cheers.

Beyond the big eaters, Dood chefs rank only slightly lower than the holiest of Dood Apostles in societal status; in fact, being able to rustle up a good meal is one of the primary markers of an intellectu-dood, with the majority of the Dood’s limited schooling related to the acquisition and consumption of delectable comestibles.

Notably, before they are allowed to graduate, the Doods must be able to differentiate between that which is obviously fatally poisonous and that which is deliciously edible. Unfortunately, the pass rate is not 100%. :[

The most famous of Dood chefs has to be Gordon Ramsdood. Almost chosen to become a Berserker Apostle, Ramsdood’s furious temper has caused more than one Dood to flee in sheer terror, pots and pans flying towards them as they scamper off into the sunset. Yet no one would doubt the caliber of Ramsdood’s cooking — especially the Beef Wellingdood — a parcel of meat wrapped in pastry and covered in gravy. Yum.

In terms of diet, Doods have a strong preference for the tastiest of delicacies. This tends to mean a lot of succulent meats, sweet candies, and tons and tons of junk food. The doodburger, for instance, is at the pinnacle of Dood cuisine, and many well-respected Dood food professionals have argued that there will never be as anything as perfect. However, there is a certain segment of rebellious youth who have claimed that the Cheesy Meat Doodpizza is the superior dish, which has led to clashes between the so-called Burger TraditionaDoods and the Pizza NewDoods.

To support their diet, many Doods raise livestock, including cows, chickens, and goats. For those who live on friendlier worlds with abundant life, this may be supplemented by fishing. Vegetables are generally speaking scorned by all Doods as being less flavorsome than meat, and therefore a waste of time. It has been rumored that only the nefarious Boods consume vegetables…

Milk, dairy, and bread, on the other hand, are acceptable accompaniments to meat, and welcomed by the Doods. Showing ingenuity completely lacking in other areas, the Doods even stumbled across the creation of cheese, which has been hugely popular — although, as mentioned above, a key driver of the Hamburger v Pizza debate.

Desserts and sweets are loved by one and all. Cakes, pastries, tarts are all well thought of, although the donut is a particular favorite, especially one covered with gummies and chocolate dust and filled with cream or jam or both.

Since not all Doods are capable of cooking for themselves, despite (in spite?) of their education, cooking is a communal activity. Smaller Dood communities will gather around the local fire pit and join together to prepare massive feasts. The older Doods will fall asleep after gorging themselves silly while the younger Doods will break out the alcohol and start partying until they drop. By the time they all wake up, in fits and bursts, it’s usually time to start thinking about the next meal. It’s the circle of food life!

Whether roasting a spit of meat over an open fire in the countryside or one of the bustling food streets of the Dood cities, you’ll be sure to find something to eat when visiting the godiverse.
