Hannibal had had an interesting week or so. Not terrible, but frustrating in several ways. And while he wasn't going to take it out on his students...entirely...he wasn't above indulging in a bit of amusement.
At least he had, in exchange, made plenty of food?
"Tomorrow is a holiday in the United States," he began, "which is the country that Fandom is nominally a part of. Thanksgiving is traditionally celebrated by eating a large meal, of which the centerpiece is a turkey - a large bird. Today you'll be cooking your own, in a manner that has recently become popular. Specifically, deep frying."
He beamed at them. "Use any recipe you like; I'm sure you can find any number online, and I'm happy to answer any questions you may have. You may also want to look up some of the problems inherent in using this method of cooking. Whatever you cook, you may bring home with you, along with leftovers from our meal today."
Which would be a meal. "Once you've set up your turkey to cook, I hope you will join me for that."
Off to one side was an entire dining table, and Hannibal brought out roast turkey with black truffle butter and white wine gravy; apple, sage, and sausage stuffing; spicy sweet potato cakes, brussels sprouts with horseradish and pomegranate seeds, green bean and radish salad, brandied spiced cranberry sauce, cream biscuits, and a rum and dried fruit clafoutis for dessert, along with tea and coffee.
