I was told to post it here a few times, so here it is, kibble, and locust pizza from Cyberpunk

Hello! I was curious how the people of Night City ate in the game Cyberpunk, a dystopian society where meat protein is nearly extinct, and people die on the streets of starvation, and decided to give myself a taste! I brought it to my friend’s and my Cyberpunk Red roleplaying game, and they hated it, as did I!

I made the kibble by hand, using the known ingredients of soy protein, kelp, and plankton, the actual ingredients were 2 packs of extra firm tofu, 2 cups of masa (for texture), 2 tbsp of oil, a .5 oz container of zooplankton from my local pet store, a bit of kombu (I get sick if I eat too much, sorry for not adding more), multivitamins, and I finished off with a little bit of chicken broth powder, a bit of soy sauce, and a splash of sesame oil for flavour. I calculated it to where this would have all the calories you would need in a day, but some of the volatile vitamins wouldn’t survive cooking. I tried making the pieces into actual kibble shapes, but it was a bit too strenuous, so I just spread it out on a baking tray, cut it, and cooked it, as per the cube shaped kibble. It was genuinely like eating dog food! It didn’t taste very good, it has an ocean overtone, with a heavy taste of soy just dominating everything. Overall, not good at all, but I would eat it if I had no other options, I just wish I could have made it kiwi flavour, as that is one of the canonical flavors.

The pizza was way easier, I just got an ALDI’s cheese pizza, and bought dehydrated grasshoppers online, rehydrated them, and cooked to instructions. I have to say, that pizza tasted awful, the grasshoppers genuinely improved the taste. They mostly just tasted like the way hay/alfalfa smells, a little bit like shrimp shell, and put a bunch of chitin between my teeth. I’d say that pizza was probably pretty on par with what’s expected in the world.

    Never thought I would see Cyberpunk food in here, but here we are.

    If you’re up for it, You should try making synth-beef which is in the Cyberpunk 2077

    Still though, this is dope especially with the effort even though it might have not tasted good

    Do not fear the plague, *consume* the plague.

    Using paper plates at home is such a trash move

    Wild that this gets so many downvotes, but it’s super wasteful and shouldn’t be as commonly done as it is these days. Defending paper plates at home due to what is typically pure laziness is crazy. Like, if you’re disabled or don’t have running water I get it but 99% of folks are just too lazy to wash a dish and our earth is cooked due to that mentality

  4. Idk why yall downvoting this. This is literally why the sub exists.

    Pretty elevated for what it tries to be! Well done. Bet it tasted about as good as it reasonably could. Hope it was fun

    I applaud your courage and creativity but also mildly disgusted at what you made.

    This feels like a pizza combination straight out of TMNT.

    Genuinely like eating dog food

    🤔

  10. Locusts are just grasshoppers.  Why not call it kibble and grasshopper pizza?

  11. indieplants

    my guy you did NOT have to go to the pet shop to get some plankton I’m crying

    they sell that shit for human consumption as a supplement 😭 oh my god 

    I can’t believe you’ve done that 

  12. I’ve always been a bit curious about eating insects, but the idea of using them as a pizza topping somehow just turns my stomach. I have no idea why
