History
It isn't known when was this dish first created, only that it was a favorite of both King Bryant I of Etrand and King Cairbré I of Etrand, with first references to the dish coming from the Bryant-regime. Some attribute the dish to Morshu, who allegedly once got lost during a voyage at the sea, and his crew was forced to subsist on seabirds such as boobies and seagulls, liking the taste. The other name-giving ingredient of the dish - the geoduck - has long been considered a rare end exotic delicacy in Etrand, fit only for kings and the wealthiest of aristocrats due to its price.

Despite being loved by two long-reigning kings of the kingdom, it wasn't a very popular dish, having largely fell out of favour after Cairbré's reign. Booby meat has a strong fishy flavor due to the bird's diet consisting mostly of fish, and the texture of the meat is said to bee quite tough and stringy, with very few chefs having the skill to compensate for these undesirable traits of the booby meat in its basest form. In contrast, however, geoduck remains a popular ingredient in the royal kitchen, widely believed to be an aphrodisiac due to its distinctively phallic shape.
