Choose your [Luau] Poison.

What did YOU put into the Luau Soup? What was the result?

I put a Silver-Star Grape into the Soup and got Tasty/Successful

When the event came around for me, I didn't have anything to put in it. The result was "something's missing".

I put in a silver stared fruit that I got from foraging (Can't remember the name off the top of my head) and I got disgusting soup. :(

The governor is a genie. He could smell that 1 out of over 10 ingredients is missing.

Some gold-star produce - cabbage I think? - and I got everyone going on about how it was the best soup they'd ever tasted.

[AlanAlda]

tree sap, guess its an acquired taste though

[sandieee]

[Hibari14]

silver star fish, forgot what kind.. got disgusting soup. still was a success though. :))

[The Hopping Chaos]

I put in some Maple Syrup from the one random tree I stuck a tap on. Turned out tastey.

I laughed so hard at this :D I put in the best effort i could; i got a nice red pepper a day before, with a golden star. I was thinking "well, it has a golden star, so how can't it be gud? Maybe it's too hot or something... hopefully it's not too hot for them!" So i walked up the small staircase, put in the chili which I have nourished with all the love I could muster, proud, maybe a bit scared. Under the watchful eyes of the whole town, the governor now turns to the soup. He walks up to the cauldron, takes a sip, and... the reaction's not what I was suspecting :D

"It's... average. Yes, pretty average!"
Even the mayor could do nothing more than confirm this. "*slurp* He's right. It's not bad, but very mediocre"
The event recap also wasn't very forgiving. "It was a great festival, although the soup was only average and nothing special"


I have to say, as someone who played the family friendly, very nice and very naive Nintendo "originals", that one came very unsuspected, and it cracked me up a lot :D

Sooo... The letter you get saying the Luau is coming up only says its a potluck. Figured "Bring a good, complete dish, maybe a few extras". So I brought wild honey, a couple jars of pickled potatoes (not an ideal food, I'd say), and some trout soup I found in the trash on the way. Caught a normal quality fish in the river while waiting for the Luau to start. "Throw whatever you brought in the pot!"
OH... damn.
So all the pot would accept was the fish, and apparently throwing a so-fresh-its-probably-still-wriggling fish into a 50-gallon soup pot completely ruins everything else in it.

TL;DR: I came more prepared than most other people would think to, and I single-handedly spoiled the entire thing. GG

EDIT: So, after a bit of save-scummery, I tried it again. Gold-star Sweet Pea, same result. Gold-Star Parsnip I had left over in a chest from Spring makes "Okay soup". If he said, "Hey, mind bringing some stuff to bribe the governor?" I could have done that. His weight, my weight, and my dog's weight in gold ingots with a side helping of diamonds is somehow easier for me right now than a good soup ingredient... I think I'm playing this farming game wrong.
