Most of you checked this forum to see if my sanity was still with me, but alas it is and I have one question because Ork are basically just fungus and meat and because people eat both of these things could it be possible for an imperial planet to run off a ORKDOLANDS based foodstuffs or would it be possessions and why? I believe it it would taste like stringy mushrooms.

A ten-week old mushroom pizza?

Heh, it would taste like (p)ork.

Thing is, due to the natural violent nature of the orks, it would fight back even in a food state. Expect to be constwntly violently sick, and feel beaten up inside with guts churning and aching and extremely painful. I don't even want to imagine the stste of you as it comes out the other end :p.

Ork comment as it gets eaten:" Hur hur, I hopez I'z givez youz the sh(censored)s!"'

you're all wrong.

Orks taste like chocolate cake.

This sounds about right. They are a fungus, and they don't bathe regularly.

Probably taste like chicken

I would want no part in a world like that. Imagine if it wasnt cooked all the way... the spores growing inside you..

Maybe I am confusing it with some other ork mythos, but I thought orks and their associated species like squigs, snotlings and gretchin were poisonous to most life form. In fact it's one of the reason beside extreme resilience, speed of reproduction, capacity to feed of anything and voracious nature that the ork ecosystem was so resilient, efficient and widespread. A Space Marine could probably eat one, but I think it would kill all his taste buds and make him wretch violently at the first bite (since they got great nose they must have great taste). Considering their foul smell (and that's when they are clean mind you) it certainly doesn't invite to make a meal out of it. Beside the most desperate astartes or has desperate kroot. No one in is right mind would eat an ork. It's like eating a tyranid or a dead Plague Marine. It' really not a good idea.

How long is a piece of string?

Would eating Orks be considered a vegetarian diet?

Orks are green. And broccolis green. If broccoli gives you broccoli farts what do orks give you?

If they tasted good, they would be eating each other. You KNOW they have qualms about anything they might wanna do i'm sure dinner would be no different.
So since they arent known for cannibalism, I'm guessing it isnt good.

From an actual fluff perspective, I'm pretty sure Orks are toxic to pretty much all lifeforms except Tyranids and Kroot.

Tastes like green eggs and ham.

It'd likely kill humans. We can't eat any mushroom, certain kinds are incredibly toxic, and orks are alien organisms. I doubt humans could even digest anything of use. Besides, if ingesting orks doesn't kill you, the ordo xenos will.

Imagine eating rotten mushrooms that have recently been taken out of a pile of unwashed gym socks that have been sitting there for a weekend.

That's almost a good representation.
