Food headcanons as I wait for my lunch to finish cooking

Poe is a grown man who grew up in the military, so he can eat just about anything covered in enough of his special cooking sauce (think hot sauce meets Worcestershire with a health dash of chocolate thrown in, all aged for years inside the pocket of a flight jacket, it’s called the Dameron special and it is absolutely inedible to the general public). When he’s on base, on his own time, with access to his own oven, he spends his weekends with BB-8, watching old seasons of the Great Bonadan Bakeoff and trying his best to produce a decent classic Galactic Sponge. He’s still nowhere close, but BB-8 says Poe’s getting much better, which is comforting even if BB-8 has no taste buds.

Finn grew up on aggressively processed foods that had the maximum amount of nutritional value with a minimal amount of taste, so now free to eat what he wants, he is full on paleo, natural, organic, what have you, anything as long as it’s close to the earth it grew from. He’s the guy who explains earnestly to you that fruit tastes sweeter than any candy when you’ve gotten rid of processed sugar from your diet, and he bites into a strawberry with such obvious joy that you have to think he’s on to something. He started a community garden on the Resistance base. He’s growing a mint plant out of a pot made from an old stormtrooper helmet. He’s growing the flowers he wants to give Rey.

Rey for her part has eaten at least six cans of liquid cheese. After sitting with her for one meal, Luke is now absolutely convinced that the only thing keeping her alive is the Force because God knows her eating habits aren’t. One time in the cantina, someone dropped this Sloppy Joe on the floor, and Rey was like, “Yoooooo, are you going to eat that, or is that up for grabs?” Finn has gotten her up to at least one vegetable a day. Poe insists there’s nothing terrible at all about Rey’s eating habits, but everyone knows that’s because one time she fished one of Poe’s failed sponges out of the trash (“The top of the trash!” Rey is quick to protest, like that makes a difference, which if you’re Rey, it does) and proclaimed it the most delicious thing she’s ever eaten. Poe has been pretty ride or die for Rey ever since. They watch Great Bonadan Bakeoff together these days, and Rey’s getting pretty at baking herself. In fact she’s trying to cook more and more for herself, though it’s hard when there’s so much instant food all around. But now that’s she’s out of starvation mode, she’s trying to get a little further from starvation mindset, which says that the fastest and most filling food is the best. She doesn’t wake up hungry and go to sleep hungry. It’s time to stop living like she does. (Also that seventh can of liquid cheese was Not Her Friend, to put it mildly.)

When Rey makes her first halfway decent bread, she takes it over to Finn as he’s working in his garden. It’s lumpy and misshapen and tastes like raw dough in places, and Finn serves it with fresh strawberries, and the meal is, in a word, perfect.
