Hello
How can the Elder still use the web way after Magnus kind of fucked it? Did it got "resealed" and "cleaned" of demons hiding in it? Or do the eldar use Gellar fields inside of the web way? If so, its not all lost since the web way is faster than warp travel? Just still use Gellar fields

Oddly enough, there actually _is_ some cooking done by the Necrons, just not a whole lot of eating. Pretty much all of the dynasties have their quirks as a result of the varying degrees of mental decay among their upper leadership, and the -pharaoh- phaeron of one made a point of treating captured enemy officers as if they were honored guests, which included treating them to a lavish feast...that the overwhelming majority of the participants couldn't take part in, because even what few necrons had jaw articulation don't exactly have any place useful for the food to go.
I haven't heard about this one yet but I am surprised that WesHammer forgot about flayer virus and one of its symptoms that despite the fact that infected necrons still have no way to eat anything it won't prevent them from trying to eat flesh in their maddened state.
@@jakubznojemsky4936 well the flayer virus is less wanting to eat something like a Cannibal and more like wanting to have your skin and organs back.

@@leechowning2712 In fact, it's the only reason why many space marines don't like eating human food. Not because they don't enjoy it but because it'll take them too much time to meet the caloric intake they need, time that could be used for training. When they have time for leisure activities, unless it's some chapters with extreme obsession for hardship, space marines will enjoy hunting and making their own food.
@@minhducnguyen9276 just give them a side of their porridge or gel or whatever and let them enjoy normal human food with it! Less time wasted and a nice morale boost to boot...assuming the food is actually good, otherwise you might end up the training partner.
@@ShadowGamer300 Well this has more to do with their culture and doctrine also. Black templars eat almost exclusively nutrients paste because they are constantly moving on ships. Iron Snakes hunt a lot because they are stretched over a large territory so learning how to survive in the wild is important while also stimulating the brain through such exercises. And the Ultramarines and White Scars learn to enjoy human food because they want the local imperial commanders to cooperate with them and while space marines can demand cooperation by pointing guns at people, it doesn't hurt to try to get it at the dinner table using more polite words.
Such an Eldar fest sounds pretty good, just imagine a Cook that had thousands of years to master his skills and perfect recepies

@@Less_Serious Americans treated their POW's like trash. They even treated the "liberated" civilians in Europe worse than the Germans did.

There actually is an instance of a Space Wolf eating nutrient paste! It's in one of the Ragnar Blackmane novels- 'Grey Hunter', I think- where Ragnar's packmate Sven straight up says that 'he likes the stuff'.
I read about this in the “Last Chancers” series (1st novel I think).
Fruit juice in its reconstituted form is an easy and effective policy of the Astra Militarum for preventing the spread of diseases like Thalois fever and muritan cholietta among their troops.
Juice rations are also given to troops in interstellar transit to combat nutrient deficiencies caused by recycled air and lack of sunlight.

The grox sounds a lot more like pigs then cattle. Their design may actually be based on how pigs were used as handy terraformers during Spanish and other colonialism. They'd release them and let them roam ahead of the settlers and when they caught up the land would be partially cleared and there would be pigs to hunt or catch. They'd also release pigs on islands so that they could visit them and hunt the pigs years later
They are more like giant lizards,
@@codyspegel6317 lol, did you even read my comment?
@@BouncingTribbles He did not
That's pretty dope never knew that, thanks for this random history lesson
Until said pigs destroyed the island's ecosystem...
I like how peacefully and cleanly the Tau are described to eat, it kind of gives you the feeling of a comforting dinner at a friend’s house or a delightful picnic with a loved one. The humanization of Tau eating patterns I think helps the feeling of naivety, like humans pre-Dark Age of Technology collapse and makes them interesting and stand out. I especially like the idea of an Eldar watching a human lick a literal mountain of shit and say, “It’s actually quite good if you give it a shot.”
Judging by the artwork you've shown, being a worker on a developed agri-world seems pretty good. No war, pain, death... just living your life farming with big machines.
Honestly ya, most of the time it's a lot better than living on a hive world. Not s ton of people and lots of space and food. Hard work every day tho. There are some AgriWorlds that are grim dark tho. Mile thick clouds of pesticides, destroyed ozone layers because of trillions of live stock animals, etc etc.

Not so much, really. Agri-worlds are some of the worst in the Imperium, they're giant planet-sized plantations with nearly the entire land mass terraformed to Martian spec, all the planet's original life being exterminatus'ed before terraforming. It's almost entirely automated, and the planet's infrastructure is so optimized for food export its minimal inhabitants eat WORSE than what they're processing and exporting, and in conditions that could make a hiver's life look luxurious. The entire world's slowly drained of its organic mass, strip mined for the inorganic resources it has left, and left an abandoned death world by the end.
The only difference between that and what the Tyranids do, is time scale. Tyranids do what the Imperium takes a millennium or so to accomplish. Which speaking of, agri-worlds are typically left woefully under-defended for the resources they produce, for that reason are a favorite target by invaders, and are typically dangerously vulnerable. Case in point being Prandium, which was consumed so rapidly the 'nids hit critical mass before the Imperium could even deploy a real defense.
Morale of the day. Join the T'au. Adleast you have clean food and water in your tyranny. lol. I remember in one book, the guardsman that joined the T'au during the Damacleas Gulf war. He sorta hated the cheesy flavored beer at first, but got used to it quickly. Also the technology had him HOOKED. His personal communications array. In just the standard fire warrior suit was as good as a space marines. His Gause rifle could actually hurt a space marine in their armor.
as much as people have tried to retcon the Tau into being somehow grimderp as the rest, they're still the best option _by far._
Like, come on man, you've gotta have a decent meal.

Cheese flavored beer?... Two of my favorite foodstuffs rolled in one? SIGN ME IN!
@@joseestevezhernandez558 Cheese flavored beer.. MILK?!
@@tylermech66
I think the purpose of Tau gaining bits of grimderp is due to them slowly getting bigger, and thus causing them to slowly fall into many of the bad aspects that caused every superpower faction to become gimderp incarnate. They're good because they're small enough to still have hope and generosity, but it is very likely that if they every reach comparable heights to any of the superpowers, it will be through so much loss, sacrifice, destruction, cutthroat politics (oftentimes literal), and resource-management nightmares that the only way to retain that power is to also become grimderp incarnate.
After all, one of the main themes of WH40k is that simplicity and naivety is happiness while power is accompanied by misery. Very unsubtle in the case of the Eldar.

In Gaunt's Ghosts series, there is a giant bettle like species that are raised as cattle and considered tasty. Imagine those Martian bug cows in futurama , but bigger.
Fun fact, lobsters, crabs and shrimps are insects too.
The fire caste used to be plains hunters in the third Ed codex. Good job finding this old lore
The Eisenhorn novels actually have extensive descriptions of food, especially when the retinue travels with the Rogue Trader. Also there are various descriptions of meals in the later Ciaphas Cain novels when he works under the General with the amazing personal chef.
Finally, *Ambull Steak*
And he forgot all about Soylens Viridiens.
I imagine feasts made for space marines would look like the Feast made for Obelix in The Twelve Tasks of Asterix
Or something from ScoobyDoo, OnePiece, or Brock's cooking from Pokemon
They definitely would be more for fun and destressing and strengthening bonds of brotherhood rather than practical nutrition, which they likely just get resupplied through intake valves in their armor during prolonged periods of combat. Though space marines are comparatively rare enough in the galaxy that if they really wanted to have fully-cartoonish proportions of food, nobody could really stop them.
@@fadelsukoco3092 I imagine only the strongest Inquisitors dare to tell the at least 10 feet-tall killing machines "No".

@@pedrovascodeoliveiraveriss6293. While at the same time sounding polite without offending the Marines. Inquisitors usually tend to say please and thank you if they asked Marines for help.
Based on the fact that it specifically said it’s made from grain, I wouldn’t be surprised if amasec is just whiskey. Because we know wine exists in 40K. Hell, in The Last Church, the Emperor himself has a glass of an exclusive vintage. So I like to think the high end stuff is the smooth kind and the normal guardsman/underhive level amasec is the stuff that’ll kick like a mule.
In my Underhive adventure, the players (and the people of the underhive settlements) ate either "weird-critter-on-a-stick", or soylent green products.
The adventurers would turn in what underhive corpses they...created...to the resyke facility, and then go get a soylent green falafel, or perhaps a soylent green scone at the Coffee-Servitor.
The Tau's food don't sound bad. The tangy honey fruit, smokey star fruit, and the xeno herb bread sound fire 🔥🔥🔥
The Tau MRE sounds tasty, I might be bias on that since I love noodles tho but the idea of a MRE that are noodles that have been soaking in a broth since it was made until you open and it still being hot is amazing to think of.
Just another reason to love Tau
Tau are great, basically Communist Space Weebs

I have been involved with 40k for many many years. I watch almost all of the big 40k channels here, but what I like about yours is the fact that you focus on the more obscure and fine detail stuff. It's refreshing.
I was introduced to 40k via a friend running a Dark Heresy one shot and, as I was reading my character sheet, I asked “am I reading this correctly? I have some thing called ‘corpse starch rations?’”
To which he responded: “The imperium is nothing if not efficient.” I was hooked.
Amasec is actually also derived from a fleshy fruit called a ploin. Like the grox, ploins can be reliably grown in almost any environment. That includes in hydroponics decks in ships, meaning that ploins are a staple of the fruit diet of almost every imperial world and ship. Ploin juice is a common ration as well for the guard and for any large mortal force the imperium fields. as with what Brian Kelly said, ploins are used to stave off common nutrient based diseases.
Ploins: the humble hard counter to Nurgle.
One ploin a day keeps the Rotfather at bay

The Mechanicus also breakdown organic material from the dead to make a nutrient paste to feed servitors and soldiers alike. Kinda like peptamen or glucerna
*what does Slaanesh eat?*
“See that river of thick white sludge in the distance? The one that smells vaguely salty and musty? That, that’s what she eats.”
In Dark Heresy (the Inquisition TT RPG) there was an adventure where the player group had to infiltrate a nobility party. It featured "delicacies". These were uniformly something that needed a stat check to be able to eat and not get hurt by. One thing that stuck in my mind is "Warp Eels" which were some kind of preserved warp entity that if consumed inflicted damage in the form of "Insanity Points" which are fairly permanent damage to the minds of a character.
Dark Heresy was such a good rpg. Everything written in it felt like it came from the common Imperial citizen's perspective.
To be fair to the mountain of fat, I reuse bacon grease in my cooking, and it's delicious. So, maybe a massive mound of fat, the residue of all the decantent meals that were created over the years, could potentially taste good. That being said, I fully believe they were just starving, and it tasted good compared to everything else they eat in the hell of the Underhive.
I looked into it after seeing another comment. Look up fatbergs. That’s basically what’s going on here I believe 😩 tell me if you still think it would taste good
@@jeremyojeda6914 Compared to what most Underhivers eat, probably heavenly.
the thing about scrape is, its fat, ignoring the shit and other stuff its pure fat, which is what gives things flavour, if you ever eat a steak with the fatcap its heavenly compared to a lean bit of meat
Fat oxidizes and goes rancid though
@@Cold812 it was a whole mountain of it they had to dig tunnels and make catwalks so maybe only the outside oxidized
And this, dear Weshammer, is why I love you. Videos like this draw attention to things that we can relate to in a vastly speculative world.
Just knowing their cuisine makes me think about the more relatable life of a working class person, stuffing scrape and corpse starch in their gob before they're off to slave for hours on end. It is a refreshing change.
Thanks!
I like when franchises put some effort into the foods of the cultures and factions that they created

Ok, first of all, this is a Misconception
Corpse starch isn't as widespread as you think, usually its only served in hive cities to the lowest class living there, or in some cases, to soldiers during long wars after suplies dry out or supply routes get lost.
Usually most Imperial worlds are doing even better than we are IRL (except hive cities or warthorn worlds on the fringe), but that isn't as represented because its not grimdark!

In the Ciaphas Cain books they do actually mention food regularly. Tanna tea is something that is always on hand, infact a company made unofficial Ciaphas Cain miniatures where both the Ciaphas and his aide are holding a cup of tea or a thermos of tea. Not to mention Jurgen is said to always be carrying a spare sandwich or extra food in his numerous bags and pouches. I think the series is also where they introduced Grox as a food source, but there are mentions of Ploins, recaf and amasec.
Didn't mentioned the Kroot and their ability to consume flesh of their enemies and gain some of their strength, abilities and even "read" memories of those slain enemies instead of interrogation of prisoners.
Big E and best girl actually tried to get this to work with Space Marines as well, they can also eat the flesh of other sentients to get scraps of memory. But they're nowhere near as good at it as Kroot.

Those Guardsmen enjoying the meal with the other races is so wholesome, a small shimmer of light within the Grimdark.
"I'm a man who appreciates good food" - Wes
"My favourite food has to be a greasy Chinese takeaway." - Obviously some *other* W40k Loremaster doing a deep fake... 😉 😁 😂
You can appreciate good food and also appreciate bad food 😉
@@cwlesli But you can't tease Wes by being *sensible*. 😝
I only got to the ad but that's actually really cool. Warhammer food lore video with a food ad is actually amazing. Have a good rest of your day.
There's something so comforting about the description of the banquets. In such a violent and dangerous universe it's strange to see something so familiar being done by alien species.
In the Fire Warrior novel, there is mention of Tau having slaughterhouses on their worlds.
Mum what’s for dinner?

Can I say that I love your videos. I listen to them for hours during work, I work 10 shifts so I thank you for making them more enjoyable to get through.
I got to say I’ve always had a hard time getting into eldar. Not that I disliked them, but nothing really jumped out at me. However I think you’re description of their meal is a starting point for me. Thank you!
You know mjod is just the Danish word for mead right? Although Space Wolf mead technically isn't mead bc it's not made from honey.
The first piece of WH40k fiction I ever read was a short story in White Dwarf about a Space Wolf's neophytes initiation into the chapter. It started with the usual surgical implantations and basic learning and ended with a feast of a whole stag they had to eat in full chased down with gallons of nutrient packed beer and mead. The neophyte was then dropped off on the opposite side of the Fenris from the Fang and had to make it back to the Fang on their own with no gear or support. I'm pretty sure this is no longer cannon, as even in the early Ragnar books they retcon the initiation process. In the Ragnar books they also mention Space Marines being able to drink polluted mud and eat dry twigs to survive. They also mention the marines using the same nutrient pastes that other chapters do, but only when they are actively deployed in the field. They also mention the Space Wolves enjoying human food and drink when they are stationed on Terra as a bodyguard detachment to one of the Navigator houses.
I was about to type the same comment. Space wolves eat the nutrient paste on the field. (It's in the Ragnar Blackmane book if i remember correctly)
My dude Wes I enjoy your videos so much I have started re-watching them
I think I would be ok in a corpseguild
the sadness and horror is really mostly in what was done to the bodies, but once theyre dead theyre dead yknow the horror has already passed imo
Food Rations in W40K are definitely worth interesting, especially for the Taus they've got some next level food preservatives.
Cannibals after everyone starts eating other people:
“Posers!”
Terminal overkill is one of my favorite novels. Thanks you for referencing it!
I have that weird feeling that i would cry while eating the tau food because just by the description they sound divine
I am sure that I am not the only one that wants a Warhammer 40 k version of EDF, you could be a guardsman\woman or a spahs marins and defend a planet from xenos and traitors to the empire(I ask for forgiveness for my poor use of the english lenguage)
You could frame the game as "wild stories being told around the campfire", about the strongest fighters in the setting, and just go nuts with it! Could be really fun! 😁
Sadly, every mission would end in death. guardsmen aren't known for living very long in Warhammer.
@@lastplace199 Depends on what they're fighting. If it's only a raid against a large PDF garrison, there's room for both mass casualties and an eventual victory. The graphics don't have to be great as long as the game encapsulates the sheer volume of men, materiel, and firepower the Imperium throws around like blunt instruments.
You know I never thought I need to know what everybody eats in the universe, but now I am glad. Keep up the great work.
some parts of the Tau do eat meat, we've had references to slaughterhouses and fisheries in tau cities. generally the references seem to imply the fire castes are involved. since the origins of the fire caste were in the hunting and warrior cultures of the Tau homeworld before their unifications under the etherals, it may well be that they continue to eat meat, despite other castes going full vegetarian. (the tau in the meal from kill team for example, were air caste ship crew and water caste diplomats. no fire caste warriors or earth caste builders present.)
I like these long videos. Good job researching this one.
Thank you for your amazing content, Wes! Always full of wonderful info, fantastic energy, and true love of the Grimdark world. It’s always a pleasure to watch your videos 😃

I've been curious about what people eat in 40k, and it seems like most cuisine is pretty similar to what we eat now, burgers, poultry meats, various forms of grain and fruit, wines, and alcohol, all pretty nice stuff, and it's also quite nice how this provided some insight on Xenos culture, overall very good video, as expected
"Corpsegrinder Cult of Necromunda" sounds like a wicked awesome extreme metal band name. That's some brutal job placement, I wonder who you have to piss off to get that job. They probably have to eat it too which is super messed up considering they probably have put people they knew or were familiar with in these corpse processors.
Had to dust off some old books to find these descriptions of the Emperor's first encounter with Leman Russ from the 2001 Index Astartes book, originally featured as a series in White Dwarf;
"Slouched on his oaken throne sat Leman Russ. A flagon of fine mead in one hand and a leg of a roast bear in the other..."
"His first challenge was to an eating competition. The food was brought forth on vast brass shields, and the stranger ate well indeed, consuming many times more than the stoutest warrior present. But by the time he looked from his platter Russ was finishing his third Auroch..."
"He realised the brown-cloaked traveller had the spirit of a Fenrisian, and so challenged the newcomer to a drinking bout...by the time the wanderer had reached his sixth barrel of strong Fenrisian mead there was no more to drink."
So it's clear that the Fenrisians at least ate very much like the Viking stereotypes they're based on. These backwards barbarian worlds make up a significant proportion of the Imperium, and are populated by people who don't even know what the Imperium is or that other planets even exist. There are likely thousands of worlds where humans still live as primitive hunter-gatherers too. Sucks to be an underhive dweller, but life for many in the Imperium probably is no worse than it has been for most people during the majority of real life human history.
This video was awesome! Weshammer you do such an amazing job of exploring every aspect of warhammer lore
Please do a deep dive into the Farsight Enclaves! They (and the tau in general) are some of the most interesting factions in the 40K universe to me. I’m TOTALLY not considering defecting to them btw! I really dig the imperium and the inquisition definitely shouldn’t pay any attention to me!
It matters not heretic. All xenos shall soon know the might of the Imperium
I havent read any books from the Tau yet. Are there any books that are interesting ?
@@JS-mu9qd the Damocles gulf war is pretty pro tau.
im so glad you slowed your full format videos compared to your shorts.
What do you eat?
Tyranids: Yes.
I'm really really glad someone's talking about this, i'm always curious about food in sci fi and fantasy settings
I really want to know what a squig taste like. I'm thinking pork with a mushroom after taste/texture.
My thoughts too, like wild pork and portobellos
I love the way your looking at the script it adds so much personality
Ha I wish. Teleprompters are expensive. I have to memorize all the lines in the intro. It's why I stick to voice over for 90% of my videos
The eldar feast before battle sounds incredible. I want in.
The tau's food alone would make me join their greater good. I just love food 😋
They had me at tactical ramen.
the Greater Food
The greater good means "greater food" too ^^
I always thought that amasec was liquor. In the Cain-Books, Cain mentions multiple times, it is distilled.
Honestly, it's kinda used as a catch all term for alcohol in 40k. Sometime it's depicted as a wine like drink, other times as hard booze.
@@weshammer or it is a category, like amasec and booze destilled from amasec are both called amasec (this thought came after my post)
@@weshammer The way it's most commonly described, I get the feeling that it's a category for Imperial varieties of fortified wine, which seem appropriate for their high society to be drinking. How fortified would depend on where it's from.
If it's made from grains, then it's closer to vodka or whisky. Fruit based alcohol is turned into wine and port, and I think sherry.
@@joshuarichardson6529 Knowing the Imperial Navy, there might be more whisky in there than wine.
back in 60s-70s, when Khmer Rouge in Cambodia captured some territory where was canning factory, they started producing canned human stew for their army.
15:33 talking about the last chancers
buddy with Kage and Colonel Hoffman I believe freaking love that book my fav reread like 10 times
