I keep seeing this one post get more and more elaborate about “I don’t like the headcanons abt Poe being a good cook, what if he’s terrible, what if his food is burnt and bland and flavorless and the resistance food is too spicy for poor Rey or Finn who are used to nutripaste and powdered bread?! and they can only eat Poe’s terrible cooking?!”
and I’m just sitting here shaking my head like
none of you are latinx
none of you understand how wrong you are
THANKYOU
Poe goddamn knows how to cook a meal and he goddamn knows his way around a spice cabinet and you’d better believe he knows how to marinate and slow-cook and he might make less spicy stuff for his new friends but only because he loves them and he knows they don’t have the palate for actually spicy food.
Okay but what if he got too excited about his cool new friends and accidentally made the food way too spicy?
Finn is aghast. ‘You put what in the food?!! The First Order uses chemical weapons based on that kind of stuff for crowd control! And you EAT it? Willingly!?!?’ (He keeps taking bites in between sputtered protests and hastily chugging whatever liquid is available though)
Rey on the other hand, is absolutely stuffing her face because it’s literally the best thing she’s ever tasted (Although Poe could have served up literally anything and it would have tasted amazing just because someone made it for her) and there are tears streaming down her face, partly because her mouth feels like it’s on fire but mostly because this is the happiest she’s ever been.
Star Wars has blue milk, maybe it has blue horchata they can drink to cool off their tongues between bites of space chorizo
Yaaaas
bonus points for kyle ben having the whitest white boy tastebuds “this ketchup is too spicy” level family embarassment
