Thauran Wine Wiggler Soup and Cheese

Thauran Wine Wiggler Soup and Cheese

One of the main Thauran exports (especially from the Azure worlds : Bleu, Royal , Blau and Azure Throne ) is wine. The wines of Blau, Planet are considered to be the best in the entire galaxy.

The wine farmers of Blau raise their grapes acording to age old methods and utilize little in terms of technology in the actual production. They also do not use genetics, nanites or chemicals.

Yet one of the most dangerous threads to a grape vine are the Wine Wigglers, a small thin worm. The pest gorges on the alien plant ( Grape vines have been introduced to planet ecologies by the first Thauran colonists bringing them from Earth )

and a Wine Wiggler infestation can destroy a vinyard over night. The Grape vine plants are very expensive and often are the secret variety of a particular wine growers family.

The Wine growers onf Blau try to control the worms in many ways for example by the special bred Chicken (Worm Birds ) and by collector robots (the robots are not involved in the wine production).

Over the many hundred years of this, it was discovered that the worms are edible and according to the inhabitants of Blau, taste even better than Terran Escargot  .

The Wine Wigglers are exported as a delicacy and the local most famous recipe is Wine Wiggler Soup with Cheese.

They are cooked in a sud of Thauran white wine, garlic , Thauran blue Onions and herbs. It is served with white bread and more wine.

A Thauran Wine Wiggler Soup dinner box with a bottle of Thauran Riesling retails for 80-100 credits.
