- "Since the attack, a bit of green has slowly started returnin' to the planet's surface as more and more Lammas Tree sprouts pop their way outta the charred soil. I ain't lookin' to delay the planet's recovery, but these savory saplings are too toasty and tasty to pass up."
- ―Strono Tuggs, The Ultimate Cookbook
Lammas Tree Bites were a savory vegetarian dish consisting of the sprouting saplings of the lammas tree found on the Mid Rim planet Haruun Kal. Most of the world's forests were destroyed during the Imperial bombardment of Haruun Kal, but some lammas had begun to grow again by the time the Artiodac chef Strono Tuggs visited the world during a culinary tour of the galaxy that he took[1] between 34 ABY and 35 ABY.[2]
Although he did not want to delay the recovery of Haruun Kal's ecosystem, Tuggs felt that the saplings were too toasty and tasty to pass up and so took a few, confident that it would not make a difference. He then included a recipe for Lammas Tree Bites in his third cookbook, The Ultimate Cookbook, which was published[1] in 35 ABY.[2]
Behind the scenes
Lammas Tree Bites were created as a recipe for the 2023 Star Wars: The Ultimate Cookbook, a recipe book written by Jenn Fujikawa and Marc Sumerak. The out-of-universe recipe for the dish makes use of baby cauliflower, olive oil, lemon zest, a minced garlic clove, Parmesan cheese, parsley, kosher salt, and black pepper.[1]

- ↑ 2.0 2.1 Star Wars: The Ultimate Cookbook establishes that the publishing of the in-universe The Ultimate Cookbook and the culinary tour that preceded it occurred following the publishing of The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook and prior to the destruction of Kijimi. It also establishes that The Ultimate Cookbook was published following the Festival of the Ancestors that occurred during that time period. Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge: The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook further establishes that The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook was published concurrently with the First Order's search for the Resistance base on Batuu, which Star Wars: Timelines dates to 34 ABY. In addition, Timelines dates the Festival of the Ancestors and the destruction of Kijimi to 35 ABY, meaning the tour must have taken place between 34 ABY and 35 ABY and The Ultimate Cookbook must have been published in 35 ABY.
