Epicurist, Gourmet, Foodie [Monday Morning, First Period]

[doubleohblonde]

As the class assembled, they would have been greeted by the smells of freshly cooked food, and the possibly disturbing sight of Bond wearing an apron.

"Regardless of the former-Vice Principal's antics over the weekend, I trust you all remembered the assignment I gave you last week," he said. "And brought along an example of food from your homes to share with the class."

Bond gestured at the spread of food on the tables, which consisted largely of several kinds of sausages, toast, eggs done in a variety of different manners, mushrooms, tomatoes, toast, and rather a lot of bacon. "For my part, this here an example of the traditional English breakfast. However, as you can no doubt see, the sheer amount of food, and the main method of preparation, does not make this advisable as an everyday occurrence." He continued on for a while, explaining some of the regional differences in the dish throughout the United Kingdom, although thankfully he didn't explain what exactly black pudding was made of.

"Now, I would all like you to share what you've brought with the class, and explain a bit about it."

Introduce Your Dish - EGF [Week Seven]

Given that some of you mightn't have had time to cook, you can cheat and claim J,GOBs as your homeland, but Bond will start getting suspicious pretty quickly.

Ella had felt like she would be a liability on most of the weekend's missions, so she'd had plenty of time to perfect the venison stew (http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,1638,149169-251194,00.html) recipe she had made.

"This is stew," she said, explaining what the bubbling pot probably made obvious. "It's got potato dumplings, and the meat is venison. We eat a lot of game in Kyrria."

She was a good cook, and the stew was delicious.

"Being English," Jenny said, "I of course brought chicken tikka masala from this little curry place in London, not far from Trafalgar Square. Trust me. You didn't want me to cook. Anyway, curry in general and chicken tikka masala in particular are, of course, the national dish of England. And if you don't buy that I also brought fish and chips."

Since Jenny hadn't cooked, everything would be both edible and tasty, but they might want to hurry up and try the fish and chips before Jenny got a chance to they got cold.

"This is a Ktarian Chocolate Puff (http://www.memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Ktarian_chocolate_puff)," Naomi explained, rather glad that she had actually been at home over the weekend and that she'd had a chance to make it, "it contains 17 different varieties of chocolate and it comes from my father's home planet Ktaris, it's a popular desert back home,"

It was kind of automatic what Ned would bring.

"Apple pudding pie (http://www.bhg.com/recipes/recipedetail.jsp?recipeId=33908)," he said, pointing to the dish. "My mother taught me how to make it when I was a boy and, after a little bit of time away from baking, I can do it again. It's got...a lot of apple bread pudding, streusel and walnuts along with the regular other basic cooking ingredients. It's sweet but not overly so."

"I brought oden (http://japanesefood.about.com/od/onepotdishes/r/odenrecipe.htm), which is like a Japanese stew with daikon, potatoes, eggs, carrots, tofu and fish and cooked together in a dashi (http://japanesefood.about.com/od/soup/r/konbudashi.htm) soup stock," explained Hoshi. "This is actually a family recipe handed down from my grandmother."

Given that Francine had spent most of the weekend either in the library or hiding out under the covers in her room, she hadn't done a lot of actual cooking, but she'd certainly had a lot of time to think about food. So by the time morning and announcements of safety rolled around, she had a plan.

"This is something my mom always made for me when I was little," she said, as she laid out tupperware bowls of steaming soup, and paper plates stacked with sandwiches. Grilled cheese sandwiches. Campbell's tomato soup. "It's not fancy, but it's good, and it's really easy to make, and it feels like home. Sometimes you need that, when things get scary."

Cimorene had been planning on making her signature dish of cherries jubilee, but between everything that had happened during the weekend, she really hadn't had time. Instead, she had a large serving platter of chocolate mousse. "We don't really have specific foods back home, however, this is one of the desserts I often make for the dragons. That, and cherries jubilee, but I didn't have time to make it this weekend."

Aravis had not, in fact, personally made the food she'd brought.

She'd paid someone at JGOB to do it, and glared at them until they did it right.

"This is honey spice cake (http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,1977,FOOD_9936_23491,00.html). We used to have it with fruit -- usually grapes, the like -- when I was growing up. In addition, I brought some Calormene tea, which I strongly recommend you do not drink unless you're highly accustomed to strong tastes. It's stronger than most of the coffee or teas I've tried here."

Adam had made this dish Sunday, after visiting Lucas at the clinic. It had taken his mind off his missing friends, who were thankfully back safely.

"This is Naengmyeon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naengmyeon)," Adam explained. "It's a Korean dish that my mother taught me how to make when I was younger. It's been a summer dish that my family has served for as long as I can remember," he added. "The thin noodles are hand made and the dish is usually served with raw julienned vegetables, slices of Korean pear, and either a boiled egg or cold beef. I prefer the egg."
