The Philosophy of Food | Wednesday, 3rd Period

Hannibal arranged everything on the desk carefully, then sat and waited for everyone to arrive.

Once they were there, he nodded. "We discussed last week what makes something food, why some things are or aren't. This week, we have another question. Why do we eat?"

He waved at the food and drink. "There are the obvious answers; most people will say, 'we eat because we're hungry'. But it is rarely so clear-cut. Each section here is a pair of foods. You may eat or drink only one from each pair. Choose one - or neither - and explain to us why. Feel free to debate it with each other as well. Feel free to ask me or each other questions."

He leaned forward. "Remember, there are no wrong answers; it's the reasoning we're after."

"Paté. With fresh-baked, lightly toasted bread and garnish, or as a lump." He grimaced slightly at the latter; after the time spent preparing it, it nearly physically hurt to present it like this. Still, at least with Mavis...indisposed...there would be no worries about the garlic in it. "These are the same basic food, although the first does have accompaniments."

"Pan-fried salmon, or barbequed salmon head. I should mention," he added as he squared the plates up, "that the head of the fish has much more nutrition, particularly prepared like this."

"I considered coffee or tea for this," Hannibal said, "but I thought this would be better received, the weather being what it is. Which," he pointed out, bowing slightly, "is my contribution to the discussion. My beer is the contribution to this pairing; I'm afraid I don't make my own wine." Yet.

"Cotton candy. It's not so thready as the mass-produced stuff, and the dye is cabbage-based, though I assure you you won't taste it. And chocolate, anise, and sea-salt toffee."

Because there's never enough naked Mads.
