Popular Culture [Monday, February 5, 7th period]

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

There were all manner of food with nameplates arranged on the table together with plates, colas, plastic cups and paper napkins. Rose grinned at her students.

“We’re going to be discussing about food. Specifically, Fast food. Brief history for you lot, Fast food is a type of ready to eat food typically found in, you guessed it – Fast food restaurants. Developed in the early 1900s and developed to perfection for our current consumer society.

“We begin with drinks, one of the most popular drinks in this day and age are colas, or soft drinks, these are sweetened carbonated drinks made with caffeine. Caffeine is, can be found in  coffeebeans or leaves, it's a stimulant for your brain, reason why coffee's sweet life blood for any person wanting to be or stay awake for a long, long time. Coffee's also turned into something everyone can share and turn into some sort of social event, hence the popularity of coffeehouses or cafes even in tropical countries."

Rose pointed to the one opened box of pizza and a whole basket of  burgers. “Pizzas -- originated in Italy and really are fantastic things to eat for any occasion, although, don’t try eating it while you’re in Zero gravity, it’ll just be messy. Hamburgers or burgers is a sandwich with meat patty, lettuce tomatoes, cheese and all sorts of lovely garnishes. Very greasy, bad for the health if consumed too much, much like anything in life.

“Hotdogs are also wonderful and better consumed with sandwiches garnished with relish, mayonnaise and ketchup.” Rose pointed out each garnish on the table then paused before a dish with fries and fried fish. “And this, folks are my favorite – Fish and chips. Chips, or as Americans call it, French Fries. Perfect food, in my opinion for anything that ails.  But, it is nothing, compared to ice cream. " Rose took a scoop of strawberry ice cream and placed it in  her cup. "Ice creams  are  frozen  dairy, eaten as dessert.  Frozen desserts have actually been around for  4,000 years  but, it was the Chinese who invented ice cream."

She grinned and took a spoonful of ice cream and ate it. "Don't you just love the Chinese? Invented paper, fireworks and tea!" Rose placed her ice cream cup on the table and picked up a box of chocolate bars and passed each student one bar, "Another yummy treat to end all yummy treats are chocolates, made of cocoa beans and pressed into these delightful bars. Chocolate, is also, gentlemen, perfect gifts for women during Valentines' day, although if that's the only gift you'd be giving your significant other, I would not be surprised if they'd be cross with you."

Rose looked at her students. “I want you lot to pair-up, get some  food of your liking and discuss your food with your partner. If you like it, if you don’t… etcetera, all I ask is for you lot to enjoy.

All these food are almost all eaten with your hands, so best wash your hands before you get any of these delectable foods. Washing your hands should always go without saying but reminders are always good. Wash rooms two doors from here take a left, quick right and another left that’s where  you'll find it."

Listen to the lecture/take notes

Or stare at the food!

Henry took notes on all the food, but he did have a bit of trouble concentrating. It smelled so good...

Ami was not a big fan of fast food. True it was fast... but Japanese fast food at least had vaguely healthy alternatives. Mmm... sushi.

Marco didn't bother with notes, he just stared at the food.

Anders was a little too distracted by the chocolate to take good notes.

Food? There was a lecture on food?

Edward stared hungrily at the pizza and tried not to drool. What, was he supposed to be paying attention or something?

Pair-up and Eat!

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

Mod your food and drinks! Discuss your food! Criticize the burgers! Praise the chips!

Re: Pair-up and Eat!

Henry looked around for a partner.

Re: Pair-up and Eat!

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

Ami waved. "Hey. Want to partner up again?" SHe had a slice of pizza and a cup of Coke with her.

Anders was still eyeballing the chocolate, which meant that he was in the ideal position for being ambushed by a class partner.

"Want some chocolate, Mr. Anders?" Rose asked, she's seen him eyeing the chocolates since the class started.

Edward idly wondered how much of the pizza he could eat before anyone would notice.

Armony can honestly say she's never seen this much food in one place before. This is what happens when one comes from a very small town where they know very few friendly people. She stands behind Edward and puts her elbow on his shoulder, barely bent forward to lean on him. "I'm a little scared of some of this," she admitted. "Some of it doesn't even look like things one should ingest..."

Chat with your mates

Pass notes, be cheeky!

Ask Rose questions

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

Rose is eating her fish and chips, she loves herself some fish and chips.

After Class

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

Annoy Rose with endless questions while she's eating!

Re: After Class

Henry walked up to her desk. "Miss Tyler? With St. Valentine's Day coming up, I was wondering how people celebrate it in modern America. Is it still obligatory to give flowers to the ladies that you know?"

Re: After Class

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

Rose held-up her hand as she chewed the fish part of the fish and chips.

OOC

Now *I'm* hungry!

Re: OOC

[henryoredward.livejournal.com]

Me too. We had the obligatory "Foods" lesson in my Japanese class today, and all I could talk about was fast food. ^_^;;

God, I'd kill for a fresh bowl of katsudon. ;_____;
