Philosophy of Food, Friday period 3

The classroom this week had been shifted around a bit. On one side, Hannibal had set out a table with chairs around it and a cloth over it, making as good an approximation of a dinner table as was possible. He hadn't used his finest china, but good dishes and silver nevertheless. On the other side of the room, a neat plaid blanket was spread out, with a well-crafted wicker basket in the middle. The dishes in it were sturdier, and the silverware plainer.

"This week, we're not talking about food." He chuckled. "Not precisely. Instead, we're talking about how other things relate to food." He waved from one side of the classroom to the other. "What sorts of food does each of these settings demand? What sorts of conversation and manners? What culture do you expect of each?"

Between the two halves, he'd set up a few other desks; all the food was laid out there. "This week, you need not choose. Sit where you like; move between the two. But think about this - when you choose your food and seat, is it only because of taste? Or is there a reason you prefer one over the other? What behavior do you feel is warranted in each place? What is most appropriate and most comfortable? Let's discuss that."

Alana took some summer rolls,a mint jelly, and enough vegetables to feel like she'd been vaguely healthy and went to sprawl on the blankets. The dinner table looked nice, but she was always more comfortable if she wasn't nervous about messing stuff up.

Talk to Hannibal!

If you need him before or after class, he's here!

OOC!

I hate this class. Now I'm hungry again.

One of these days I'm going to have to explain to a coworker why I just, seemingly at random, licked my computer screen and it's all going to be your fault.

Score! \o/ :D

Just tell them screens taste yummy. See how many you can get to try it.

I totally forgot I registered Alana for this class until I checked my spreadsheet just now. BRB, banging head into desk.

OK to handwave she showed up all along?

Hee! Sure. Heck, she's had the class before, right? :)
