Sunset has been in the human world for so long she's almost forgotten the taste of her favorite food, but an encounter with a few of Applejack's hay bales incites an uncontrollable urge within her to indulge in her old pony pastime.

It's actually pretty funny. Good job Holy!
As someone who'se baled hay before: that's accurate to what its like to have hay in your mouth.
I'd say that this was pretty darn good.
....i don't know how i feel seeing this in my stories feed nor if i like the feeling
This was a nice slice of cute!
This is adorable!
human foods her palette had the luxury to once enjoy - palate
I always felt like hay would be the human equivalent of a staple food you eat because it's cheap and keeps a long time. Not something to look forward to eating.
^
Wonderful!
I do love a good "Sunset misses her old digestive system" short. Fun stuff throughout, though maybe a touch melodramatic. Still, I'm not the one whose nostalgia crumbled apart in my mouth like so much dry grass. Thank you for this.

Never underestimate the power of fry oil, salt, and ketchup. Especially ketchup.
A few hours later, Twilight gets a message from Sunset there is an emergency and Twilight needs to open the portal RIGHT NOW! Then cue Sunset rushing in and raiding Twilight's pantry.

Ehhhh, best human example of that one I can think of would be a turnip. Hardy, easy to grow in large amounts, decently nutritious, and yet no one will ever admit to actually likening them.
For Hay, it seems closer to potatoes, another hardy, nutritious crop, but one that becomes a stable of most dishes and is fairly well liked, if not exactly loved. Just one of those things every enjoys without being something anyone goes nuts over (Unless you are Rincewind.)
Sunset..... an actual Hayburger is just one portal jump away
Nice to see you doing well
Yep. That is what I expected would happen.
As they say, "Hay is for horses, you dumb motherfucker"
It's probably for the best she didn't manage to swallow it down, as I'm sure things would've only gotten worse from there if she had.
They don't have wheat grass juice?
Stupid library feature on this site is bonkers. Took three tries to get it in the right one.
Oh, and this was adorable.
Oh Sunny…
How appropriate, as I'd imagine that a dish of bamboo shoots might get her closer to the taste of hay than she expects.
In any case, fun little story. Kudos.
Depending on the type of hay the taste differes.
Basic straw hay meant for ground cover is often Chemically treated to make it taste bad to just about every thing. But feed hay is usually Alfalfa which is actually kind of sweet, while Clover tastes like Dried Spinach to me.
Hilarious, and yet also kind of sad at the same time. Poor Sunset.
This is the best kind of Sunset story. Somber, yet somehow upbeat.
Can't wait to see her actually head back to Equestria and steal some hay.
Oh my. Lol. Poor Sunset.
- "wait though" ?
oh, yeah , sad .. more sad for me than comedy, actually .... but for actual comedy I still have whole site, if i want it ...
Nice to see you around, Holy.
This is funny, but there is also a good lesson:
Sometimes the things we like can change. And would should accept change rather than live in the past.
Also, you shouldn't eat hay, you silly bacon hair.
Different
Just get a scented candle, sunset. You dont have to eat it to get a nostalgic feeling.
This is just hilarious, great comedic story!
I enjoyed it: I always like to think on how Sunset's palate developed from becoming an omnivorous species instead of a more-or-less strict herbivore (given some of the products they use in baking, such as eggs, or the fact that they have potato chips, since real-world equines can't eat potatoes due to them being part of the nightshade family, which is particularly toxic to them). I'd put this as a great companion to A Taste of Meat.
I can't even begin to describe how wholesome, yet extremely humorous this whole fic was! It's definitely believable in the aspect of ponies turned to humans going crazy for their past species food types after a while! As well as how you made this fic being as sweet as can be! Hope ya didn't mind, but I did a little audio thingy for this fic! I couldn't resist!
Audio Thingy!: https://youtu.be/cLwiv4CY0Jg
(I don't mean to offend anyone with this comment!)
Such a cute story. I have no doubt that Sunset can't help her long tendencies sometimes. Even as a human.
Glad to see you're giving comedy a try. Maybe it'll cheer you up 😊. Keep up the good work.

Like potatoes.
I was deployed with only access to MRE's for quite a while.
The weirdest thing I wanted most when I got back ... Fresh mashed potatoes.

I certainly don't mind. Thanks a ton for the reading! I'll be sure to list it on my page with the others.
This was a treat.
Nice work.
Lesson for Sunset: Human taste buds and pony taste buds don't work the same way.
hay
That cover pic is adorable.
My favourite line.
(Congrats on publishing your 50th story!)

It is clear what Baconhead really miss is home. Considering she has an active portal near the school, what stops her from visiting Equestria for a weekend?
As far we know, she was never officially banished and anyway Celestia has forgiven others (Luna, Discord) for worse offences .
I enjoyed this comedic story.
Dawww, poor Sunny.

And yet people look forward to instant ramen or french fries
Personally I prefer to directly chew grass.
aww poor bacon head lol
she can never eat hay again
Awwww I feel bad for Sunset. She just wanna eat hay
Not bad haha, poor Sunset.
This was brilliant. X3
Sunset...try a dandelion leaf
They taste good and work for humans and ponies!
