#Hey OP I feel the need to mention that while the PCE kitties can canonically digest veggies#Their flour is not handwaved by that and is made of bugs#Like I am not sure how it would work in the real world but they make flour from crickets and ants

@newworldenderdragon

No I am aware of that. You can't make flour out of insects though-- the fact that they're making cookies out of pure crickets and ants suggests there's something else a lot easier to gather in the cookies and the insects are supplementing it

"Cricket flour" is a misnomer. When you grind up crickets you get a sort of protein powder that, when heated, has the texture of hot sand. You add it to shakes and real flour to add nutritional value.

So I just kinda wish the game had more non-baked good dishes. Cricket 'flour' wasn't a solution to bread having no value to cats. For my tunnelbuns I made them based on pasties and not pastries. Like, an empanada, filled with meat inside and the crust is just for transport, y'know?

warriors bite that appearing in a dream and lives in my brain forever now: cricket cakes. small pastry dishes filled with crickets either in the batter like chocolate chip pancakes or filled with crickets INSIDE

One of my planned entries is going to be something called "grubcakes," which are a sort of bug mash and mincemeat bound together with eggs.

In consistency they're like mini-meatloaves, fried on a grillstone with a little bit of flax oil. They serve a culinary niche like pancakes; served as breakfast.

But the big difference between grubcakes and pancakes is that insects are actually CHOCK FULL of fats, the exact kind of fat that is lacking in WindClan's diet of rabbits. So eating these is necessary for the good health of a WindClan warrior... and Mudclaw HATES them
