#...I also actually don't think he drinks *that* much after Plagueis's example

... I'll admit I myself don't really headcanon him as having exactly *posh* tastes, just like... sort of, without the posturing that could imply, bourgeoisie. (I feel like it's the middle ground between growing up moneyed and ...not necessarily treasuring/semi-rejecting that space. Like... "we must become as beasts".)

I don't think he particularly cares for space!fast food, but I think he'd eat shawarma in front of other people if it was put on a plate to be eaten with flatware.

(For some reason I also seen to be caught on his liking lentil stew, whether the European sort with whole lentils or dals and such, but tbh that could actually be because of the time I imagined little Maul getting to play Stardew Valley and getting biased against it by Vincent's comments)

One thing I also enjoy is cooking, and I was wondering, what would Palpatine eat? Something posh, I figured. I just can't picture him enjoying a shawarma roll.

So I asked AI what a weekday menu for him would look like and it's exactly what I expected.

He'd probably know what all those words mean too, if his cozy home-cooked meals involve things like "coulis"

He must be insufferable to cook for. I get aggressive when someone complains that I didn't make my broth or pasta (dough) from scratch, I'd DECK this guy if he'd ask for a "balsamic reduction"

Bet he didn't eat his veggies as a kid either
