Extraterrestrials, being made of organic compounds, must eat food. The food they consume is the result of the evolution from which they evolved.
Extraterrestrials (except a race with no physical body) are built of organic compounds. Aliens have different morphology, anatomy, and physiology than humans; still, they need energy and, therefore, must eat. Food breakdown and energy production require oxygen (anaerobic respiration is less efficient), so extraterrestrials also breathe. The anatomy and physiology of extraterrestrials are entirely different, but they must also emit waste from their bodies! (There is undoubtedly a general similarity with humans)
Most extraterrestrials are omnivores, but they are not carnivores!
The depictions and characters of extraterrestrials with massive jaws and shark teeth are taken from science fiction films and are unrealistic.
The foods eaten by extraterrestrials are not uniform for every civilization. They are mainly the result of different evolution. Extraterrestrials that evolved from insects (such as the Mantis) will eat various foods characteristic of insects. Aliens that evolved from reptiles will eat reptile-like foods, and so on. Some alien species evolved from alien-like mammals, so their diet is reminiscent of that of humans.
It is essential to emphasize that extraterrestrials are familiar with the species of foods and drinks on Earth, which they visit regularly. Most extraterrestrial civilizations are omnivores, but fear not! Humans are not on the menu!
- When I asked whether eating together exists? The answer was yes, but sitting together is not perceived as a social event.
- I wondered if there were any alien restaurants. The answer was no, but I was welcome to come and taste. (I realized that I was again channeling with a group with a well-developed sense of humor)
I asked if coffee and pastry could be served at the upcoming meeting in Antarctica. I was told that some aliens love coffee, but bringing crispy fries with ketchup is delicious.
