    Do different rocks have different tastes? Do they season one sort of rock with others? What is the cooking equivalent for a rock? Maybe grinding it up and recombining to different sorts of tasty concrete?

      Considering that there’s a side quest in to where a rock connoisseur is looking for a rare type of flint, I’d say theres definitely different flavors of rock. And in terms of cooking, the gorons have grills where they literally just cook rocks. I’m not sure if they’re trying to metamorphize them into different rocks or what’s actually going on, but they don’t eat their rocks raw. I wonder if concrete would be like a soup for them?

        I imagine “cooking” rocks is more comparable to toasting bread or poptarts, changing the flavor or texture and thus the experience of eating them. I’m pretty sure the flint guy just eats the flint raw, but my memory ain’t great lol.

      Humans also season food with one type of rock, so it wouldn’t be out of questions if Gorons had one or two plants they also use.

    If I remember correctly, they say that the rocks in the cavern are merely “the most delicious”. So this is really the equivalent of a kid opening the fridge and seeing that they’re out of pizza rolls and whining that there’s nothing to eat.

    Dude’s got a point, but I still can’t help but think…

    “Dodongo Cavern is blocked by a giant boulder. We’re starving!”

    “Why don’t you eat the boulder?”

      A tree fell on the road blocking the path! Why don’t you eat the tree?

    Mobile site cuts off the image at the top and bottom, though I was able to slide it up and down as needed it was somewhat awkward. I’ll have to see if there’s a bug report for this.

    EDIT: reported it to find it’s already fixed for an upcoming release👍
