Inside Out -- Class 7, Period 2 [Tuesday]

Juli did not particularly approve of having food in class, but nonetheless, today there were various ~~moddable~~ snacks of varying degrees of healthiness and she, herself, was nibbling on a carrot stick. And drinking her coffee, of course.

Always with the coffee these days.

“Welcome to your class with me for this term,” she said, once everyone had gathered, “please, help yourself to the food, sit back, and each of you tell me one thing that you’ve learned this term--whether in my classroom or not—that had it’s origins in another world.”

She gestured to a student at random. “Begin.”

[~~Wait for the~~ OCD is up!]

"Surely though, even in Japan, there are some people who do not like it?"

"If they had a grandmother like mine, they ate fish or went hungry," said Hoshi with a smirk.

"That does not, though, keep people from liking it or not. Eating something does not always mean you like it."

Juli noted that Hoshi had not actually answered her question.

"When I was little, my grandmother would serve me cold soba noodles. I hated them," said Hoshi. "I used to make up excuses like having a tummy ache so I could get out of eating them. Now soba noodles are one of my favorite things to eat. So there may be people at home who don't like fish, but it's so prevalent in the cuisine that eventually, they find something with fish that they like."

Juli considered that. "Do you think that your experience is indictative of everyone's experiences?"

"I think so," said Hoshi. "Most people are turned off by a strange ingredient, but if they don't know it's there, they'll give the food a try. I wouldn't have tried kishka if I knew how they made it."

Juli nodded. "...kishka?"

"It's a sausage that's very popular in Eastern Europe," explained Hoshi. "They make it with pig's blood and use pig intestines as the casing."

That earned a very faint expression of distaste. "I can see why you might've been hesitant if you'd known."

"It didn't taste bad, but it wasn't good either," said Hoshi. "I had enough to satisfy my hostess, and then I moved onto the cabbage rolls for the rest of the meal."

She laughed softly. "I wonder how many students would have done the same."
