The Pudding of Sadness is a ritual meal of the Tamaranians. When a Tamaranian is feeling sad, they eat the Pudding of Sadness, a dreadful concoction that simulates the said emotion. The pain of eating the pudding would then ease their troubled mind. When Cyborg seemingly quit the team, like he always does, Starfire created the pudding and offered it to the remaining Titans. Aware of the alien food's acquired taste, the only Titan to partake was Starfire, herself.
Tamaranians have nine stomachs, and as a result, food is an important part of daily life. Fungus appears to be a staple of the Tamaranian diet. Glorp requires the cultivation of fungi, and is said to taste like a combination of ice cream and sushi. Other delicacies are sputlinks and Zorka berries. Food is often integrated into Tamaranian ritual. Despite the presence of warfare on the Tamaranians, their culture is dominated by ritual. When a Tamaranian feels a certain emotion, they often restrict diet to a certain food such is the case with Pudding of Sadness.
