Food Appreciation, Class Six, Period Three

One half of the buffet table today was covered in Valentine's Day candy. Heart-shaped lollypops, the gamble chocolate that came in the heart boxes, Hershey's kisses, Red Hots, those fake candy lips, those candy hearts with the words on them and all sorts of other moddable types of candy. The other half of the table was covered in oysters, bananas, almonds, asparagus and other foods that were apparently aphrodisiacs.

Marshall was standing at the front of the class with a box of chocolates in his hands. "Okay guys, in light of the holiday, I've decided we should eat food that has to do with Valentine's Day. Taken or not, the one thing we can all look forward to on Valentine's Day is candy. Lots and lots of candy. So much candy that if you're single you can eat it all night until you throw up. Or, if you're me, eat it all night until your wife tells you to stop otherwise you're going to throw up. I don't really know what Valentine's Day has to do with candy but, then again, I don't know why it has to do with greeting cards either."

"So that's one half of the table. The other half has foods that people consider aphrodisiacs," Marshall said, pointing to the right side of the table. "An aphrodisiac, if you don't know, is something that's supposed to get you in the mood to...you know, bow chicka wow wow."

Dear god, Marshall. Stop scaring the kids.

"I'm not sure if it works or not and I don't really know why they're supposed to make you get in the mood but, whatever, oysters are delicious," he said. Marshall paused. "Please don't use the aphrodisiacs as an excuse to make out in here. PDA is gross."

"Okay, so, that's all I've got," Marshall said. "Dig in!"

Priestly couldn't help but wonder if a food's status as an aphrodisiac was in any way linked to it's suggestive shape and/or texture.

That didn't stop him from eating oysters like it was going out of style, though. And the mystery chocolates.

We have two pound boxes of strawberries, bottles of French berry lemonade, and vanilla cake mix and organic cherries on display at my grocery store for Valentine's day. Not a damned bit of Valentine's chocolate in sight. . . .

Of course, we still have dark chocolate covered everything that we sell all year round, so. . . . it balances out.

I dislike chocolate as well. People think that's odd.

Marco was firmly in the chocolate side of the table. Mostly because mmm, chocolate.

After the weekend Hoshi had just had, there was a good deal of blushing when Marshall started talking about aphrodisiacs.

Firekeeper had no clue what "bow chicka wow wow" was supposed to mean. None.

Firekeeper was mostly trying the candies, but she did go for a few of the oysters. Apparently she was in a seafood kind of mood this week.

I'd hate chocolate too if I lived in America.

Ew, Hersheys.

Hoshi steered clear of the chocolate and helped herself to bananas and figs.

I agree! The only thing Hershey's has given me is an awesome theme park.

And Twizzlers. And Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.

BUT THAT'S IT.

Yes, ugh, American chocolate. Gack.

But your Peanut Butter Cups come in twos! That's just weeeeeeird.

Canuckistan has awesome chocolate though! Like Aero and Coffee Crisp and Smarties and Kinder Surprise. American children are apparently too dumb for Kinder Surprise, which is sad, because it is chocolate AND A TOY.

Omfg I found the last of the Aero bars you sent me, and I had to give it to my mother so she can hide it so I won't completely demolish my diet in one go.

...I JUST THOUGHT YOU MIGHT LIKE TO KNOW, SINCE I CAN'T SLEEP.

Ooh, look! Chocolates! Wait... Valentine's day already? Oh man, she had totally forgotten about it!

You are stronger than me. Mine got devoured on the spot a few days ago when it turned up during one of my cleaning sprees.
