BARE YOUR SWORD
terpkristin: I haven't seen a thread started yet and I wanted to comment on the Pokemon cookbook, so figured I'd start it.
I haven't seen the actual cookbook, but many of the recent Pokemon games have gotten away from ""just"" having berries for Pokemon. In Sun/Moon/Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon, you go into cafes for malasadas, which I think are kind of like doughnuts. In Sword/Shield, you make curries for your Pokemon. And in Scarlet/Violet, you make sandwiches. All of these things are things that make your Pokemon love you more and such.
So if the cookbook has recipes for things like that, count me in!
I enjoyed the show, as usual. Thanks for keeping it up for so long.

Dear Veronica and Tom,
If you both like hot/spicey things, I found Sting and Linger (https://www.stingnlinger.com) at a local street fair. The ghost pepper is hot but there is still enough flavor that it's not all pain.
Best, David
