Cooking Through History, Period 2

Class would be meeting in the Danger Shop, but today it just looked like a well-appointed office, with plenty of chairs for everybody.

"Hello, and welcome to Cooking Through History," he told the class. "We will be learning many things about how humans have approached food and cooking throughout the years. There will be field trips involved, and you will also be cooking yourself. This week, however, is for introductions, so I would like to hear from each of you your name, your experience with any kinds of cooking, and also any allergies, aversions, or dietary restrictions you have."

He uncovered several large dishes on his desk.

"Today we will be eating my food. Testaroli, arguably the oldest known pasta, with olive oil and cheese, and peas, perhaps the oldest cultivated vegetable. Also beer, homemade, which is the oldest beverage for which we have recipes. And water for those of you who may choose not to drink it."

He brought out plates and silverware and waved them toward it. "Get your lunch, and introduce yourselves."

Nell was always happy to try new foods and see if she could figure out what was in them. She liked the touch of thyme in the peas and decided she'd have to try that herself sometime. She wasn't so sure about the pancake-y pasta, but it tasted good enough.

"I'm Nell Ingram," she said a little shyly, since she knew he already knew who she was. "Back home I mostly cooked kinda simple country dishes, but I'm always happy to try new things and learn how to make them."

"Oh gosh, if we're learning about food, I'll be happy," she said cheerfully.
