Oi-Oi Puff

Star Wars has always been an out-of-this-world pursuit, but now both Disneyland and Walt Disney World have brought the galaxy to real life Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. The new themed land, set on the planet Batuu, is full of galactic eats and drinks — some directly inspired by the films and some completely brand new like the Oi-Oi Puff dessert at Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo. The space-inspired cream puff features a raspberry mousse with a subtle hint of passion fruit plus a gilded, galactic chocolate topper.

Blue Milk

Remember in A New Hope when Luke Skywalker sat down at the dinner table and his aunt poured a glass of blue milk? Fans have been dying regular milk blue for years to recreate this, but Disney took it a step further by giving the drink a distinct flavor profile. Technically, blue milk comes from a Bantha, a yak-like space mammal with a long furry tail. But Disney’s version is 100% vegan and more appropriate for 95-degree Central Florida (er, Batuu) heat. It’s a frozen blend of coconut and rice milk with a mystery blend of tropical fruit flavors. "We wanted it to be cool, crisp and refreshing," said Chef Brian Piasecki, culinary director of Disney’s Flavor Lab (the research and development center for food and beverage at Disney parks). "It probably wouldn’t work if there was a dairy element in there. The coconut milk, the rice milk and all of those fruity elements really helped us put that flavor profile together." And they didn’t stop with blue. If you remember the scene in The Last Jedi where Luke literally milks a Thala-siren (a giant sea cow that hilariously low-key lounges like a human sitting up) and thought to yourself wow that must taste great because he’s chugging it, now you can taste it for yourself. Like blue milk, green milk is also vegan with a coconut/rice milk blend, but green milk is much more floral in its proprietary profile. The space milks are available at Galaxy’' Edge in both Disneyland and Disney World, but at Disney World you can make it boozy. If you order it boozy, blue milk gets a shot of rum, while the more citrusy green milk gets tequila.

Braised Shaak Roast

If you’ve worked up an appetite zooming around Batuu’s Blackspire Outpost, Docking Bay 7, the land’s fast-casual, sit-down restaurant, has a full menu of alien-inspired meals — even options for little padawans. But of all the entrees, the galactic pot roast (available only for dinner) with cavatelli pasta, kale, mushrooms and "super savory and very flavorful" space gravy is the best.

Felucian Garden Spread

For vegans and vegetarians, Docking Bay 7’s Felucian Garden Spread entree is a solid choice. The plant-based "meatball" dish (Disney World uses the Impossible product.) is inspired by the vegetarian planet of Felucia and features an herb hummus and tomato-cucumber relish with pita bread. "Spice is an element that we used in many developments for Galaxy’s Edge because we know that the food’s got to be flavorful," said Chef Piasecki. "It needed to have a different texture and element of spice. Spice is one of the trends that we’re starting to see in the industry so we’ve been using it a little bit more. We try to balance it out with fat or sweet or savory, but it will have that more flavorful, rustic kind of spice element. So, in the Felucian Garden Spread, it’s that Kefta-style rice with those kind of toasted Moroccan spices."
