Retro Recipes: This Sh*t is Bananas; First Period [08/22].

[somethingwithturquoise]

Summer knew she was taking a pretty big risk here. Some might say it was a stupid risk; others might claim it was better than she deserved. This class this session had been quite the ride. There had been uprisings; there had been claims of war crimes; even when she tried to throw them a bone and did something normal, things still got heated.

She really couldn't think of a better way to close out her brief stint as a Fandom High teacher, so, in a way, she supposed this was her gift to the poor saps who had to suffer through this class...and yet still kept coming back for more.

"Alright, you guys," she said, "this is our last class I think?, and it's going to be a good one. One of the things I've tried to embrace in this class is creativity, and that's what today is all about. Today, you guys are going to make the recipes. You have full range of the pantry, you can mamke whatever you want, and I will eat whatever you make. There are only two rules: 1) It must include bananas and 2) No inorganic or non-edible stuff. My stomach has been exposed to a lot of weird stuff, believe me, but I am still only human, okay? Feel free to ask for help if you need it, or help each other, but that's pretty much it. You'll have a certain amount of time to prepare, and then I'll try everyone's dishes. Is revenge a dish best served cold? I don't know. You tell me. Let's get started."

Ohhhh, she really, really hoped she didn't regret this, but, at the same time, if she didn't regret this? She was going to be terribly disappointed in these guys.

Mwhahahaha.

Hahaha.

Shuri had done research, Summer, just in case this joyful day ever came (and also because she like to scar Okoye with white people food when she least expected it).

"Enjoy," she said sweetly, pushing a bowl of terrifying stew over to her. "It's called Major League Rhubarb."

She had no idea what rhubarb was and that showed in her pronunciation.

If Shuri had produced anything less disgusting that this, then that would have been the biggest disappointment of all. But as Summer was staring down into that bowl and seeing the results of everything Shuri had been grabbing and putting into her dish, she almost felt a weird sort of pride. It was horrifying, yes, but it was also, in its own way, beautiful in its offensiveness.

Summer nodded a little as if in approval, which contended with the pursing of her lips and the shake of her head at the fact that she was actually going to put this in her mouth, but she picked up a spoon, braced herself, and gave it a try.

Immediately gagged, tried to act like she didn't, then forced herself to swallow it down. The texture of that rhubarb alone!

"Nine out of ten," she concluded. "I think it could really use some mayonnaisse. I'd say well done, Shuri, but..."

She could not bring herself to comment on this with anythingn remotely positive, no matter how sarcastic or ironic.
