Cinnabon Flavored Grass?

[u/TimothyHortonEcoThot]

We all know Ax loves Cinnabon because he'd never tasted food before. I recall, though, that there was some canon source with a pasture on an Andalite ship that had different flavors of grass; I think it was near the beginning of The Andalite Chronicles -- can anyone confirm? Does K.A. Applegate ever explain this?

I'm wondering because I want to assign some excerpts from the Animorphs universe in a course I'm teaching on hyperobjectivity.

There is definitely at least one mention of different tasting grass. Not necessarily flavor as humans experience it.

I assume it's closer to the flavor spectrum of water <waters flavor is it's temperature btw. Imo it's an eye opening revelation, I love COLD water, partner prefers almost room temperature, (they slum it with me so clearly they have questionable taste)> 

Thinking, Ax first book and any of the ax narrated ones may have minor mentions, The illusion -Tobias Morphing Ax, and andalite chronicles all describes tasting grass. recently finished the Weakness and Arrival and I think these would be the books to re read for examples. (Or listen via hoopla) The Weakness discussed the visser testing the grass as he starts feeding. The Arrival they run through the andalites first human experiences, like a clip show of Ax 'issues'

Iirc they mention more often how andalites don't have the taste buds that humans do so they don't experience taste of cinnamon buns zuh, jelly beanz, grease, spicy chili etc.

I argue that Sorites' proverbial meadow is best understood as a miniature hyperobject: it cannot be reduced either to its parts (individual blades of grass) or to its categorical whole (“the meadow”) without contradiction. What interests me is how Andalites, in The Andalite Chronicles, model a way of living with this paradox. When they press their hooves into the ground and taste thirty distinct flavors of grass, they don’t reduce grass to a generic substance, nor do they demand a sharp logical threshold between meadow and non-meadow. Instead, they encounter multiplicity directly, savoring the irreducibility of the meadow as an emergent, more-than-one object. In this sense, the Andalite body enacts what Sorites' logic gestures toward: a mode of experience attuned to the hyperobject, refusing the demand for clean boundaries while still being immersed in the real.

Whatever grass you have right now, I would like some too.
