There were smaller Pebblemen with thinner limbs at work making food for the Shishishiki hordes constantly. They use mortars and pestles to grind things into a paste the small ones could consume. They were really short, to the point they could barely manage to even eat what they used to before they devolved.
"Pebblemen all use earthernware only."
<span class="mu-s">"Interesting choice, only using pottery. I've heard tale that earthenware improves taste on some things from Earth."</span>
"Mm. We prepare food by grinding. All food is ground."
<span class="mu-s">"So you make everything into paste?"</span>
"Spreads."
<span class="mu-s">"Spreads! Interesting..."</span>
The Pebbleman motioned Beerus closer to a large flat stone square used as a table. He brushed the top off and blew on it to clear any dust particles before draping a large white cloth over it. He then set down a few round flatbreads in front of Beerus. A spongy brown flour bread, and then he set down eight pots and used a ladle to pour out their paste contents onto the bread. There were two fruit pasted spreads, a roasted minced beef spread, a shredded fish meat spread, and four of a variety of vegetable spreads. And then came two long rolls topped with slices of a pork and groat pudding, dry-cured shanks of some beast with cow cheese melted on top, and a charcuterie of green oval shaped fruits, nuts, crackers, cheese and a cream on top of another flatbread.
<span class="mu-s">"My, my, my! It all looks so very good for a meal made exclusively from pastes and spreads. Eh, but no plates?"</span>
"Bread is plate." The Pebbleman insisted. He set down a bronze two pronged fork in front of Beerus; "Mostly use hands to eat."
<span class="mu-s">"I do not mind. Let's try this then."</span>
He had an idea. Since it was all on a spongy bread, he picked up one of the flatbreads covered with spreads and folded it, twice. That way, he could experience all the flavors in his mouth at once. He bit down.
<span class="mu-s">"UWWAAAAAAAH! AMAZING!"</span>
He just had to have another bite, and another!
<span class="mu-s">"It's got two distinctively sweet tastes enhancing one another, and the bread soaks it nicely so it doesn't have any contrast or anything! The vegetables are pretty oily but the beef mince gets caught in the crossfire and adds a little bit of a nutty, chewy texture! It's unexpectedly good!"</span>
