What If... Alien

So the Scarlet Witch prefers utica greens, a traditional dish from Utica, in upstate New York, Utica Greens, made from hot peppers, sauteed greens, chicken stock or broth, escarole, cheese, pecorino, is an example of Italian-American cuisine, specifically a side dish favoured by Italian-Americans who live in Utica, and is commonly found in restaurants all over the area.

There is an annual Utica Greens Fest in Utica every autumn, which features lots of food and art. The Scarlet Witch's trinket shop is in the fictional town of Lotkill, which is supposed to be near Utica, in between Albany and Syracuse. Clearly, she got a local taste for it.

What If... Alien

Tony Stark appears to me charcoal based. He's not lactose intolerant is he? Either way, no brassica. Tony Stark is a sprout and onion free zone. No more shawarma for him either.

What If... Alien

Like the Gauls and Viking of old, Thor prefers boar, the ancient wild pig. You know, there's a crossover that someone should make happen.

The Diet Of The Avengers

And Captain Marvel? She is also spreading her culinary tastes.

What If... Alien

Korean-style chicken wings, got to be extra crispy…

So who – and what – else? A burger for Cap? Roast carrot gratin for Hawkeye? And everything in this article just shoved in a bag and mixed up for She-Hulk to wolf down? Give me your culinary thoughts for Jarvis The Butler…
