Sebek and Food

In two different voice lines Sebek expresses a desire for meat. He says that he is constantly hungry, no matter how much he eats. (He follows this up with a comment that the prefect and Grim are starting to look appetizing.)

Sebek says in a voice line that he saved his appetite for his birthday party by having “only…three extra servings at lunchtime!” Silver also says that Sebek “has a healthy appetite” and Deuce describes him as “such a hearty eater”.

Silver calls Sebek “a bottomless pit” and it seems he has been a heavy eater since he was a child. It is unclear if this is a fae trait or maybe something that is unique to Sebek alone: Lilia says that Sebek is “known throughout Briar Valley for his gargantuan appetite”.

Sebek’s stomach growling is a recurring theme seen in Glorious Masquerade, during Lilia’s farewell party and at least twice in Lilia’s dream.

We see Sebek eat a variety of different foods during Harveston including apple pie, a pancake-like dessert, a soup made from rare mushrooms, another soup at a party, a salad with wild greens and apples, pickled herring, a local stew with meat and apple tea.

Salmon carpaccio is Sebek’s favorite food, which he says his mother makes especially well. During Lilia’s dream he bonds with dream-Baul over their shared love of salmon.

Salmon comes up often for Sebek: he says that the NRC’s cafeteria has an exquisite salmon pasta, mentions a rumor he heard about catching salmon in a river during Harveston (“They would make for a fine stew”) and receives both hot salmon soup and brined salmon on a baguette.

Sebek comments on eating candy so fast that he was unable to taste it, and both he and Jade surprise the residents of Harveston when they purchase enough food to feed an entire family, eat it all and then return for dessert.

Sebek says he is partial to simple baked goods like cookies and muffins, and he will try to expand his horizons by trying out new snacks from the school store.

It seems he has been shocked in the past by candy that turned his motuh blue, and candy that began to pop and caused a tingling sensation in his mouth.

Trey teases him about his snacking and Sebek inists that he is merely replenishing his carbohydrates after exercise and during his studies. “There is no INDULGING involved!”

(Trey: “Oh, is that right?” – Sebek: “IT IS!”)
