Nerf nuggets were a culinary creation that utilized the flesh of a nerf. This dish was often paired with Corellian buckwheat noodles as a side.
During the period between 19 BBY and 18 BBY, Hunter and [Echo], members of Clone Force 99, were assigned a task that involved transporting fifty crates filled with nerf nuggets. Tech, a fellow member of their squad, expressed his opinion that this assignment was not a good application of their skills.
Urrett's Marque, a bar located in the Coruscant Underworld, offered fried nerf nuggets on its menu. The Wookiee named Chewbacca placed an order for this dish when he visited the establishment with Han Solo, hoping to secure a smuggling job. Solo disliked the dish, and questioned Chewbacca's ability to consume it.
In 0 ABY, Luke Skywalker and Nakari Kelen, rebel operatives, visited a noodle shop in search of Sakhet, a Kupohan known for providing intelligence. To signal their intention to acquire these services, rather than simply ordering food, the pair were instructed to request Corellian buckwheat noodles accompanied by rancor sauce. Both Skywalker and Kelen found this prospect unappealing, and were relieved when they were instead served nerf nuggets alongside their noodles.
The first mention of Nerf nuggets occurred in Heir to the Jedi, a 2015 novel authored by Kevin Hearne.
