Philosophy of Food, Friday period 3
Hannibal arranged everything on the desk, then waited for everyone to arrive, smiling as they came in.
Once they were there, he began. "Last week, we discussed what makes us see something as food, why some things are or aren't. This week, the question is: Why do we eat?"
He waved at the food and drink behind him. "There are the obvious answers; most people will start with, 'we eat because we're hungry'. But it's 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."

Re: Third pairing!
He'd been raised well. Ma would've scolded him for picking the pan-fried over the barbequed.
