I'm kind of curious to see if gems have food at homeworld, I know they don't need to eat but some gems (including corrupt gems) are portrayed to have regular eating habits such as Amethyst and the Worm Monster. The worm monster was even blind but still worked to find food as if it needed sustenance for it's survival, even going so far as to chase steven and connie down for the glow stick. But in the episode "Fusion cuisine" pearl states that "We get all the energy we need from our gems". So back to my original question, would gems have food on their own planet? And if so would the food be recreational or used as sustenance by gems that are unable to draw the needed energy from their gems.
