Dianoga pie
- "Here ya go—krayt milk and tasty dianoga pie."
- ―A bartender
Dianoga pie was the most popular of the dishes made of dianoga meat.[2] The savory pie had a beige crust and was stuffed with a filling.[1] At some point, a field guide for officers of the Galactic Empire noted that Imperial chefs could use dianogas to make a tasty pie, although troops were unlikely to come back for second servings.[3] The pies, when served with krayt milk, were the house special at the Meltdown Café on the moon Nar Shaddaa.[1]
In 10 ABY,[4] the Wookiee Chewbacca visited the café. The bartender there asked him what he wanted to eat, but as he did not understand the Wookiee language, he simply gave a slice of dianoga pie and a cup filled with krayt milk to Chewbacca, noting that the pie would be tasty.[1]
Behind the scenes
Dianoga pie first appeared in the second issue of the Star Wars: Dark Empire II comic-book series, which was written by Tom Veitch, illustrated by Cam Kennedy, and published by Dark Horse Comics[1] on January 24, 1995.[5]
