"You can't make a Trangen until the Globnans are in your hand"
— Peacekeeper saying which means
'Don't count on something good happening until it's happened'
Trangen balls contain
Globnan, a fungal ball which is extremely delicate and can burst if handled with too much pressure. It shatters when bitten into, leaving the eater with a burst of the sticky sweet juice inside.
History
Trangen is a deep-fried breakfast dish, which was traditionally a working man's food on
P'Ache Prime. Its solid exterior made it something which could be eaten on the go. They are relatively easy to make with the correct technique and once made they last a relatively long time (up to 15 days). This made them ideal for working class people to prepare well in advance, and was hearty enough to fill the stomach with only a few until the midday meal.
However, during the
War Age, much of the Globnan's natural habitat was destroyed, making Globnan and therefore Trangen far rarer. As a result, the balls have been elevated to an elite status.
