Fire stew was a type of spicy brown stew[1] that was edible by Ortolans[2] and made with puk, desert flowers, water, and meat.[1] Around 4 ABY,[3] the Ortolan musician Max Rebo excitedly anticipated eating Fire Stew at an upcoming dinner; however, he received neither the dinner nor any fire stew.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
Fire stew was first mentioned in "And the Band Played On: The Band's Tale," a short story written by John Gregory Betancourt and published in the Tales from Jabba's Palace story collection in 1995.[2] It first appeared in the 2003 Sony Online Entertainment massively multiplayer online role-playing game Star Wars Galaxies,[1] which closed in 2011.[4] In the game, it was a craftable item that gave the player boosted attributes, and like other items, it had its name fully capitalized.[1]
