International Cuisine | Monday, first period

"Good morning, ladies," Hannibal greeted his class. "Since we are at the very first class this term, if you're new, you should know that it's the day for introductions. And you won't have had time to get sick of them yet." He grinned.

"For those of you who haven't met me, I am Doctor Hannibal Lecter. Introductions in my class are as much a matter of necessity as tradition - we will be experiencing new things, and it is vitally important I know if there are things that I should be keeping from you. So. I would like for you to each give us your name and where you're from, but also any things you may be allergic to, and any foods you can't or won't eat. Also, I would like to hear if there are any particular foods or cuisines you would be interested in trying."

He spread his hands. "We have no formal syllabus this term, and there will be no grading. There is only one rule - you must be respectful. If you find a food distasteful, you needn't eat it. But you will refrain from calling it disgusting, or showing disrespect to those serving it to you. So long as you adhere to that rule, you will pass. If there are any requirements for individual trips, I will let you know prior to that day by e-mail. We won't be going anywhere this week, so please enjoy what I've made." He gestured at the food.

"Also - I have no assistant as of yet. If you would be interested, please let me know." He waved at the first girl to begin.

"Hi, I'm Alana," Alana said, with a little wave. She was happy to start her week with a nice, easy class. "I'm from a planet called Landfall, which nobody has heard of. I'll eat about anything, but I guess I'd like to try more kinds of sushi. I've only really had California rolls."

"I'm Charlotte Grote," Lottie said. "But most folks call me 'Lottie'. I'm from Tackleford, in the UK, and I would like to eat all of the sausages."

All of them. From anywhere.

She loved her some sausages.

He was serving them tea! Right there in the middle of class! Lottie piled a plate nice and high with at least one of each sandwich, then made a show of examining the teas on offer before selecting the one she thought looked fanciest.

Hannibal might be well old, but he'd just shot right to the top of her list of favorite teachers ever. Sorry Mr. Beckwith.

"I'm Rapunzel!" she said, waving exuberantly. "I'm from Corona, and -- well, there's nothing I've refused to try, so far. And I don't think I'm allergic to anything. But I'd like to try more coffee? I really like it and I haven't really tried many kinds."

Because she should really limit her caffeine intake.

"Welcome back, Alana. We can definitely try more sushi," Hannibal promised her, smiling. "What is Landfall's cuisine like, compared to what we have here?"

Re: Introduce yourself!

[identity profile] never-dull.livejournal.com 2015-05-04 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Hannibal could appreciate that. "Welcome, Lottie. I rather like making sausages myself," he confessed. "I'm sure we can find a few different cuisines that use them."

Re: Eat Hannibal's food!

[identity profile] never-dull.livejournal.com 2015-05-04 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Excuse you, Lottie, Hannibal was not old! ...Middle-aged, maybe.

"Do you have a favorite tea?" he asked.

Re: Introduce yourself!

[identity profile] never-dull.livejournal.com 2015-05-04 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
"Welcome back, Rapunzel." Hannibal smiled at her. "Do you mean more different varieties of coffee, or more different ways of brewing and serving it? Or both?"
bestatmystery: (thinking)

Please. Lottie was 14. Hannibal was lucky she wasn't calling him "Grumpaw".

"I like . . . English breakfast," Lottie said. "But I s'peck that's mostly because that's what Mum keeps around the house."

Lottie couldn't help but stare a little a lot constantly at Rapunzel's hair. "That is the longest hair I have EVER SEEN," she said.

She wasn't super good at keeping her internal monologue internal.

"Comfort food." Hannibal nodded. "Foods we're raised around can be our favorites for years."

Hannibal would have Strong Words for anybody calling him "grumpaw". Or "grandpa", come to that. Unless Angela showed up with children.

"There's different ways to brew it??????"

So...both. Both was good.

"Weirdly similar," Alana admitted. "Closest to Szechuan Chinese, I guess, but with different plants and proteins. And, y'know, we have sandwiches and candy bars and all of that. We don't live on protein shakes."

"If you had seen someone with more hair than me," Rapunzel giggled, twining a lock of said hair between her fingers, "I think I'd kind of have to meet them. I mean, not to brag or anything. I just have, like, a lot of hair for most people."

"You must have the fittest arms," Lottie mused. Her theory of hair care was "brush until your arms hurt", but she was reasonably certain you'd have to go well past that just to make sure you got all of Rapunzel's.
