Blending In, Wednesday, Period 6

[eager-platypus.livejournal.com]

When the students arrived today, they would find themselves in a regular classroom setting - regular except for the strange-smelling buffet at the front of the room.

"If you are traveling around the world in this day and age, you would be hard pressed to find a place that did not have a McDonald's, or a Burger King, or some other kind of safe, Americanized cuisine. But when you are traveling, experiencing new foods can be a lot of fun, and if you do not want to appear as an outsider, you might have to eat some foods with which you are unfamiliar. Today, we will be trying some different foods from Europe. They might look or smell a little strange, but I assure you, everything here is good."

"Frogs," Ben said. "Live ones. And amphibians called gorgs, which is pretty much as yummy as it sounds."

Kyle took a bite of his haggis and was surprised that it didn't taste as bad as it looked. "Amphibians are not worth the effort. They're hard to catch, don't have much meat on them and you can't eat them raw anyway. Hutts are weird."

"That may be one of the nicest things anyone's said about a Hutt," Ben said with a grin.

"If I ever meet one, I get to say more about them."

"I won't be inviting one here to say hi," Ben said.

"The little talking frog would probably appreciate that."

Ben choked on a mouthful of haggis.

Kyle eyed Ben to make sure he didn't have to slap him on the back or anything. "Food's supposed to go all the way down."

Ben coughed, then burst out laughing. "The mental image was...interesting."

"We should probably not tell him," Kyle decided.
