Philosophy of Food | Friday, period 1
Class was back in a normal classroom this week, though the students could move their chairs however they liked.
When everyone had arrived, Hannibal leaned against the desk and spoke.
"While I like to think that food can truly be an art form, I am well aware that not everybody shares that opinion. Nor does everybody have that option. Art, preference, culture - many things affect how we think of food. One of those is economics. Availability." He pursed his lips. "Not everybody gets the best food. Not everybody gets food they can eat. Some people are lucky if they get anything."
He gestured at the six silver-covered dishes set on the desk, all identical. "So. Each of you gets one of these. No peeking. When you each have your own, we'll uncover them all. I'll get whatever's left. If you don't like what you have, feel free to try to get something else. Barter, bargain, trade, give away, or steal, whatever you like, remembering that you may still need to see each other later. Consider this a hands-on experience."
Dish 1: Several pieces of sashimi
Dish 2: Nothing
Dish 3: Hamburger patty, no bun or accompaniments
Dish 4: Canned fruit salad
Dish 5: Tenderly cooked duck
Dish 6: Wheat bread
[OOC: If you play and want to do it randomly, just click a dish below and see what you get. But feel free to check them all out and mod your results for the most interesting playing. :)]
