Food Appreciation [Class Two, Period #3]

"Hey guys!" Marshall said, his mouth full of...something. He chewed and swallowed before talking again. "Today we're going to be talking about bar food."

He pointed at the long table in the front where there was various kinds of finger foods. "Bar food is used to soak up the alcohol in your system so you don't get so drunk that you're unable to hit on somebody. Or, if you're happily married, it's there to munch on while you watch your single friends hit on people. Either way, it's good. If you hit up a bar during happy hour then you can find this stuff for real cheap. You know when it's even cheaper? Right before closing because the bar is trying to get rid of the food."

Marshall knew a lot about bars.

"Okay, so bar food is mostly stuff you eat with your hands. Nachos, french fries, pretzels, beer nuts, onion rings, mozzarella sticks. If you're real lucky there will be some sliders on the menu," Marshall said, pointing to the burgers on the table. "And, last but certainly not least, buffalo wings. For those of you who aren't familiar with them, they aren't made of buffalo. They're chicken. And they come in different levels of heat. I prefer the more mild stuff but if I'm feeling particularly daring and there's enough blue cheese dressing around then I can crank it up to hot."

"So you've got a little bit of everything up here to dig into. There's the usual array of drinks in the back of the room," Marshall said. "There's also non-alcoholic beer and margaritas back there too. I tend to stay away from those but you guys go right ahead."

Amber fixed a full plate. Nachos and wings (with tons of blue cheese dressing!), and cheese fries.

She was just going to sit quietly and pretend she was in heaven. She was starving, okay.

"Can I just say that this is the best class ever for my senior year?" Eve asked as she claimed a spot near Amber.

"Without a doubt," Amber agreed. "I never want to leave it."

"I wonder if we could make suggestions for food," Eve mused. "I mean, hi, syllabus, but... I wonder if we could suggest specific foods to go along with what he's got planned for classes."

Amber grinned. "Something special you want to eat, Eve?"

"Maybe, maybe not."

Yeah, Eve didn't pull that innocent look off very well.

No, she didn't.

"Whaaaaat?" Amber said, chuckling. "Just say it. It's just food, Eve."
