"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."

Dean glanced around and grabbed some onion rings and mozzarella sticks and dumped them on Sammy's plate.

"Hey!" Sam protested, pushing them towards the side of the plate. "You can have all of those back."

"Uh-uh," Dean said. "Food appreciation means appreciating more than just one thing on the menu. So eat up. Don't want to fail class now do you?"

"I can't imagine Mr. Eriksen failing anyone," Sam said, although he did look a little nervous. "And I don't think it's very appreciative to take food you're not going to eat."

"You can't appreciate it if you don't try it," Dean countered.

Looking down at his plate, Sam took one of the onion rings and one of the mozzarella sticks, and pushed the rest aside. "There, now I have more than one thing."

"For a kid who grew up on the road, you're awfully picky."

"I'm not picky. I just can't eat as much as you can," Sam said. "I like all of this stuff, but I can't eat all of it."

"Dude, you're gigantor. You can handle a little fried food."

"This isn't a little food," Sam said, motioning to what Dean put on his plate. To try to placate him, he had some of the mozzarella stick and took another onion ring.

"I can only pick up so much at one time," he said.

"I didn't mean I want more," Sam replied. "I can't eat all of this without sitting here all afternoon."
