International Cuisine | Friday, 3rd period

[sharp_man]

Class had handwavily been asked to dress slightly more nicely today, and Hannibal looked them over, nodded, and smiled.

"Today we are heading to Papua New Guinea," he announced. If anybody thought he was choosing these places by playing darts with a map...they were probably right. "It is an island country north of Australia, for those of you that know where that is. It is one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world, in no small part due to its position as a crossroads and years of colonial rule. It is also extremely rural, with most people not living in cities. Its cuisine is similarly diverse, with many strong influences from other cultures."

He led them through the portal and out onto a street in front of a large, luxurious hotel. It was early evening. "Today we are here less for the local cuisine, and more for the local foods. Both the produce and the seafood are incredibly fresh, and while I hesitate to ever endorse a buffet dinner, I understand this one is exemplary. We will be eating at the Grand Brasserie of the Grand Papua hotel. English is spoken by most here, but if you have any questions, please let me know."

"Good," said Summer, smiling. "Really good, and not just 'part of my school day is being spent on a beautiful sunny island' good.

Maybe I'm just in a good mood, and I plan to die while waiting for tonight just enjoy it.

"How about you, Dr. Lecter?"

"I'm well, thank you for asking," Hannibal said with a nod. "I hope your canon whatever it is proves well for you. And a day on a beautiful sunny island can hardly hurt."

"Thanks." Summer smiled, feeling like absolutely nothing could bring her down today. "And thanks for this class. I really liked your class last semester, and I wouldn't have thought it could be topped, but you pulled it off. And I feel a little better having seen a bit more of Earth. It's weird, that I've been all these weird places, but at the same time barely seemed to leave my hometown before coming here."

"You're very welcome," Hannibal said. "And I'm pleased to have helped. You're not alone; I find many of those on Fandom have little experience of their own world. It's one of the reasons I enjoy this class."
