The "eggs" resemble dyed oatmeal or cottage cheese--what IS that substance?

Good work--it doesn't look earthly at all.

Beans! French flageolet, to be specific.

Excellent! Xeno-cuisine!

In a way, it resembles the old Earth dish, sausages on baked beans with sun-dried tomatoes?

[vgqn]

Thanks! The 'sun-dried tomatoes' are actually spiced figs, which is nearly impossible to tell from the picture, but they were quite tasty.

At first glance, I guessed that it was a negative image. In context, that seems to be a Total Success.

[vgqn]

Yup, it was well received and even mostly eaten.

That shade of blue is particularly unfoodlike. Well done!

Wow. Trés impressive -- style points for the presentation, the copy about the dish, and magscanner's splendid essay, too. Well done!
