Chum Fricassee (food)
Chum Fricassee (pronounced free-ca-see) was one of many chum-related foods exclusive to the Chum Bucket. It only appears in the episode of the same name. It was invented, and served by Template:Data:Links.
Ingredients
- Plankton's Chum
- Grandma Tentacles' secret recipe.
The food must be cooked for no longer or shorter than 24 hours.
History
The Chum Fricassee was first created after Squidward quit his job at the Krusty Krab, due to Template:Data:Links taunting him about running a restaurant. To prove him wrong, he decides to go and work at the Chum Bucket to perfect Template:Data:Links's chum. Squidward creates a mass of chum, and then has Plankton taste it for too much success. Shortly after becoming publicly available, Squidward and the Fricassee rose to fame, with Squidward being featured on television and even in magazines. With all the success the Chum Bucket was having, the Krusty Krab could not compete, and Plankton taunted Mr. Krabs about how he had a secret formula of his own.
Everything was going well, until Grandma Tentacles stormed into the Chum Bucket, furious about Squidward using her secret recipe. Squidward, who told Plankton to cook the Chum Fricassee for exactly 24 hours, forced him to undercook it in order to get it out quicker. According to Grandma Tentacles, if the chum is not cooked for exactly 24 hours, it will leave people with an upset stomach (Tummy Trouble). The angry customers then started a riot, and burned down the Chum Bucket after hearing that they were eating undercooked food. After these events, the Chum Fricassee is no longer sold.
Trivia

- The word "fricassee" means "to fry or roast" in French, which means that Chum Fricassee could be translated to "Fried Chum" or "Roasted Chum."
- The Chum Fricassee is the only chum food item that tasted delicious. The Chummy Patties from the episode "Greasy Buffoons" also tasted delicious, but they had edible flavor from the grease.
- This is the only chum that is not made by Plankton.
