Trivia[]
- The canonicity of playable characters' preferences during Spices From the West is questionable.
- Although Ganyu and her Character Stories say she is vegetarian, she also declines meatless dishes that include Bird Eggs or Milk, such as Fragrant Almond Tofu, Fragrant Satisfying Salad, and Fragrant Fisherman's Toast. This would make her vegan, and she does decline vegetable fritters that have been fried in animal fat outside of this event.[1] However, in the corresponding voice-over for this event (Receiving a Gift: III), Ganyu declines solely on the basis of the dish containing meat, which does not make sense when she declines meatless dishes.
- Zhongli politely declines all seafood, including Fragrant Grilled Tiger Fish and Fragrant Mondstadt Grilled Fish, but his Character Story That Which Rises From the Sea indicates that he only dislikes tentacled seafood and will happily eat even tentacled seafood that has been cut into small pieces. Zhongli's Character Story 1 also heavily implies that he has eaten Fullmoon Egg, which uses both cut and whole Shrimp. It therefore does not make sense that Zhongli declines even Grilled Tiger Fish and Mondstadt Grilled Fish, which are small portions[2] of cut fish.
