... So my hard-drive kinda fried itself on my laptop. Which had most of my stories, including a rather long original story I intended to publish.

As you can probably guess, I am not happy. This is my way of letting loose on that unhappiness.


Pokemon Cuisine is a real thing in canon Pokemon. Look up Pigeot and Slowpoke entries.
But there will be a lot of AU here, which is the norm for my stories.
Warning: AU, death, decapitation, and etc.
Disclaimer: I do not own any pokemon, but the ideas here are all mine.


Pokemon Cuisine

Entry 1: Bulbasaur Herbal Steak

Introduction and History:
Bulbasaur has been part of human cuisine for a long time. This is due to its nature as a "living plant." It has both sizable meat and plant. Bulbasaur Herbal Steak, however, was not developed until the late 19th century.
Steak itself is a more European culture food, but Bulbasaurs grew up in the Eastern hemisphere in the Kanto Region, and the two did not meet until European explorers found the Kanto Region, which was at the time under the rule of Arashi Shogunate. Then Daimyo of the Arashi Shogunate demanded from the Europeans to contribute to his people's culture if they wanted to establish trade with his shogunate and people.

Steak was then introduced by Explorer Samuel de Freville of France. He taught the local chefs of the Kanto Region how to cook meat as steaks so that the meat retains juiciness and softness.
The Europeans who first tried the Bulbasaur Herbal Steak were ecstatic about the usefulness of a Bulbasaur, so much so that they attempted to smuggle some back to their country, only to be caught and trade restricted due to their actions.

Purpose:
The purpose of this entry is to teach the reader how to properly cook a Kanto Region specialty: the Bulbasaur Herbal Steak.

Cooking Procedure:
1. Prepare the ingrediant (1 juvenile Bulbasaur)
2. Kill it.
3. Drain the body of the blood and clean the cooking table of any blood.
4. Using a cleaver, chop off the seed sack. Save the seeds as they can be planted to become new Bulbasaurs. Save the leaves as it is the herb that will be used in steak preparation.
5. Using the same cleaver, remove all of the limbs and innards.
6. Bulbasaur's most sought after meat cut for steak is the loins, so save them.
7. Once the loin has been removed, tenderize the meat with a meat tenderizer.
8. In a pot of water (1L), add the aforementioned Bulbsaur Seed Sack Leaves. Not only are these nutritional in broth, but they heighten the softness of any meat they come into contact with during cooking.
9. Add 200 grams of raw white onion, 1 gram of Cinnamon (evenly spread), and 5~10 leaves of basil. Do not substitute basil with other herbs. It's better to not use one than use an alternative in this recipe.
10. Boil the broth.
11. While the boiling is in progress, cut the tenderized meat to make even squares all over the surface and add just a pinch of salt.
12. Once the broth is in low boil, add the steak meat into the broth.
13. Wait approximately 15 minutes in low boil.
14. Pull out both the seed pack leaves and the meat, and serve with the meat on top of the leaves.

Notes:
*This recipe is known to contain a lot of Vitamin A.
*Is often expensive.
