Oh okay. Yeah that'd be pretty cool. I like the elephant bird more though... Maybe I'll make news article about their population and our attempts to save them from extinction.

Walkers is doing another Do Us a Flavour campaign. Tried 3 of them. My thoughts?
Hot Dog and Ketchup flavoured crisps: Not bad, but it tastes like those awful cheap non-heinz ketchups. So points for accurately depicting a cheap hotdog.
Pulled Pork in BBQ - We already have both bacon and BBQ rib flavours, so this seems redundant. Not bad though.
"Cheesy" beans on toast - Defintely taste the beans, but not the cheese or the toast. Also, why are they using cheese from Somerset? Why not get cheddar cheese for flavouring from the town that gave its name to the cheese?

... Is it flavoured like raccoon? Because you're not supposed to eat them, you silly brits.

Tell that to yank hillbillies. Also no, it's a false name. THe creator of it describes it as
"A delicious combination of gamey meat flavour, with accents of sour cream and a garlic kick. "

...BLEGH! It tastes like nuts and dry noodle-straws.

Apparently it may only have died out 400 years ago.

Yup. It's big but it's not like... unrealistically big.

Is it delicious?

Probably. The leading theory about what made them go extinct is human's hunting them and eating their eggs.

So why aren't they extinct in Uvalla? I get why the dodo wouldn't be, worst turkey I ever had.

Maybe because Uvalla has fertile soil and ample opportunity for agriculture. Also, there never really was a huge population, which would require more food. Or maybe they were revered for their size. Or maybe the early Uvallan people, believing in a mother goddess of nature, didn't approve of hunting.

Wait, Elephant Birds still exist in Uvalla?
That's actually pretty damn cool.

Would you like to come up with some sort of pacifist, Buddhist/Jain style religion that's prevalent in those islands.

Where else would they exist? Those evil imperialists Britaria and Elysium killed them on the other south-sea islands.

I like the idea, I haven't made it official though. I'm excited about it!

Uvallans believed in a kind of mother goddess that represented nature. She was said to be corporeal, beautiful, and strong willed.
