Adventuring for Idiots, Because Clearly You Need It [Thursday, 2nd Period]

Cara had intended to hold class across teh causeway today, but she'd gone across to scope thingsa out, heard the accents and immediately turned straight back around. So instead they were in the Danger Shop, which looked a lot like the preserve.

"Adventuring usually means travel, which unless you happen to be very fortunate, means you will spend considerable amounts of time away from the nearest city, or village, or farm. Which means you will need to consider food, because even if you're able to pack and carry a reasonable amount of supplies for your expeced trip, there's every chance that something might happen to it.

"So today you get to figure out how to make a meal from what you can find in the wilderness. Remember, if you don't know that something safe to eat, it probably isn't."

. . . yeah, Tali was just going to stick to the tubes of nutrient paste she pretty much instinctively kept on her. Even if she could find any dextro-amino based edible things out here, figuring out how to process them so they wouldn't trigger any allergic reactions would take longer than this class period.

Ringo had less than no idea what to do out in the wilderness.

She looked around a bit helplessly. "Um. Does anyone have some granola bars?"

That was cheating, Ringo.

Tip actually had some experience with this topic! Of course, the "wilderness" Tip had adventured through had been the US interstate system, and her foraging had all happened via abandoned gas stations and vending machines.

In fact, this whole class seemed to have very little to do with modern Earth culture, as far as Tip could tell. She was definitely going to have words with J.Lo about that.

For now, though, she was pulling up a search for "edible plants" on her phone and looking for a source that would have the least probability of trolls mislabeling things for kicks.
