Lady Kakata Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Do you bother with gourmet items? Not just actively trying to score points; I mean, do you search out the more obscure ones? If offered one (say, in a shop for a silly low price), do you grab them? Or are you not bothered? At first I wasn't, but then I got a Maractite Hot Dog (thought it was weird when I spotted it, wasn't fast enough to catch it. Got it the second time around) and I then looked up my pets Gourmet items. I then searched for and bought the Acara Salad, more or less as a tribute to the Acaras that really got me into Neopets. Since then, if an item comes up in my four food-buying haunts (for my shop) I grab it when I can. If it's pizza, my particular gourmet delivery system at the moment, I feed Moorlough the original thing and donate the rest of the pizza to Neofriends since I've already claimed gourmet status. I'm not an active searcher (except for cheap items like Grral Keno eggs) but I do pay attention to gourmet status at times. What about you?

twilightprincess922 Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 I would hope so; I restocked gourmet foods specificially for quite some time.. they are hard to sell.. but you sure do make alot from them! I retired from that because it got frustrating sometimes. As for personally, no. Just food; my pets are just as happy with an omelette :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethelune Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 A few months back, I started to feed Rowanan gourmet foods... at least, until I realized that I had nowhere near enough Neopoints to support going for the Neopian and Booktastic Book Awards and the Gourmet Club Hall of Fame. (Honestly, I'll more than likely never be able to afford the first two goals, as is. x_x) So, for now, my pets are just content with jellies and omelettes. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakabato Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 I actually do feed gourmet food to my pet, since that I treat the pets in my main account to have a certain goal, for example, I would want Lion to go for the Gourmet Club Hall of Fame.

Lady Lyuba Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Gourmet food is too expensive for the most part, however, I have come across cheaper gourmet food for my pets. I'm kind of interested in gourmet feeding, and I certainly do spoil my pets, they don't just eat omelette and jelly. But since I'm never very fast in main shops I avoid them, so I guess maybe I'm not interested. But from time to time, I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emily Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Any gourmet food I've fed my pets has been accidental. I don't actively search for them. Cost way too much. I'd rather work on my stamp and gallery collections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tafeltennisden Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 for me the gourmet food is also to expensive, i do other things which don't cost that much. i collect a lot , but when things become to expensive i go to look for another goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binkygirl999 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 At one point I was buying them and feeding them to one of my pets, then I realised what an insurmountable task it would be to get anywhere, so I gave up. It's difficult to have more than one interest that costs neopoints, and I was focusing more on avatars at the time so had to choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I don't care about gourmet food because I know I'm never going to get into the hall of fame anyway, unless I spend millions of NP which I'm not willing to do. My pets eat a healthy diet of omelettes and jelly. Nothing is healthier for your Neopet than some nice gelatin made out of dung. (cool, 100 posts!)

Sweetdang Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Nope, no gourmet! I rather train up my pet and make her smart. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naamah D. Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Eh, I enjoy feeding Chuckalah different varieties of food but gourmet is a once in a while thing for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruka Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Gourmet food (the cheaper ones) is something I always like to give my pet, Snowie. I'm quite biased to her since she's my favorite pet. But currently I'm saving NP to paint all my pets, so feeding her with gourmet food isn't my priority right now. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alynniae Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 i buy the cheap ones, but i'm not going to spend 1 million to get some food and a stupid point... simple as that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdcd Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I am just the opposite. I have fed my coco jubbie 643 gourmet foods. I will probably never get gold, but I do have bronze. I use jellyneo's gourmet check list and I am almost out of buyable gourmet food, so I am not buying as much. Thank goodness for the Habitarium (for making NPs) and the SSW (for saving NPs)!

maku Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 No. Not really. For one, they really are expensive and I don't want to use my NPs for food only. It really isn't much of any investment. I prefer to use my NP for something that will profit. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N4t4713 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 If i had the money I would collect gourmet but right now im still trying to collect other things and just make enough money as it is haha xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eel Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Recently I've been using the jellyneo checklist to search for the cheapest gourmet foods and save them to feed to my Kacheek. Because I'm just starting out it isn't so expensive yet...once I get to the foods that are worth over 50k we'll see whether I have the dedication to keep it up. I feel like I will because my Mesopause is so adorable I can't help spoiling her (food, clothes, toys) but that might not hold up against the harsh reality of finances :laughingsmiley: .

Emily Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 The only ones I pay attention to are the super cheap ones. Other than that, I can't be bothered. I would rather spend on avatars and gallery. Maybe someday when I have no goals left xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neon_nightingale Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I don't really bother with gourmet. I'll feed my pets the cheaper foods if I happen to get them but I don't actively search them out. If I get gourmet food from any of the dailies then they usually go straight in my shop. My goals are more about collecting stamps, avvies and getting my dream pets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebeka Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Not at the moment, no. I rarely feed my pets with food I buy. I take them for a popcorn or a shake to the Movie Central and if they're still hungry I give them an omelette :) Maybe someday, if I'll have too much NPs to spend them all (which will never happen :P) I'll bother with some Gourmet Food :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Is Somewhere Else Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I don't bother, I just feed my pets any food except Gross Food when they're hungry. I don't really care about that, I only seem to like customising and looking at the boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaylan Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Definitely not bothering right now. I tried a while back but too expensive. Like others said, I'd rather spend it on stamps or books because that actually stays with you. ^_^ This topic has been edited by a member of staff (Spritzie) because of a violation of the forum rules.
