Philosophy of Food | Friday, period 1

Class today was meeting in the Danger Shop, and they would arrive to find it set up like a large, gourmet kitchen. Hannibal stood there with an apron on and smiled and nodded at them.

"Since your class project will be due soon, I thought I would demonstrate what I expect by example. Which also, not coincidentally, gives me the opportunity of indulging in one of my favorite activities - cooking for an audience."

He walked around the kitchen, getting things ready as he kept talking. "Today I will be making for you steak and kidney pies. I decided upon these because they have a special place in my heart. Most Americans will not have had them, as offal are hardly ever eaten in this country, which is a terrible shame that I like to correct, and also, they are a fairly traditional food in my husband's country." He smiled as he cooked the onions and mushrooms. "The process of making them is not particularly laden with tradition, although I can make a different shape of pie for each of you, if you like; it's a simple way to make your dish fit a particular audience."

He explained each step as he did it, and showed them the roux - "One of the first techniques I learned, and invaluable." - and making the gravy and then the pastries.

He smiled. "And now we wait. So, do any of you have plans yet for your own projects?"
