Cuisines of Earth, Tuesday

[sharp_man]

"Good afternoon," Hannibal greeted them all when they arrived at Portalocity. "We're heading to Morocco today. It's in Africa, the continent south of the one we last went to, at the northern end."

He led them through the portal and into a bustling street surrounded by stalls. "Marrakech, Morocco," he explained. "Morocco has been a hub of trade for centuries, and its spices and cuisine reflect that. Mediterranean and Arabic cuisines are the strongest influences, and olive oil, fruits, grains, and a number of meats, including lamb, are common."

He led them further down the street. "Today we will be eating at Dar Cherifa, a restaurant meant as a calm oasis in the midst of the souks - the markets. It features a fairly traditional and varied menu. I will order a number of things for us, and you're welcome to order your own as well."

He nodded at the waiter as they were led to their table. "The predominant languages here are Arabic and Berber, but most people will also speak French, and some will know Spanish or English. Please don't hesitate to ask should you have any questions."

Oh, this reminded Kurt of the markets they had seen during the school trip! He was definitely going to do at least a little wandering around to check things out, and maybe buy something too!

"Don't go too far, please." You were the third student Hannibal had had to corral so far, Kurt.

"Oh of course" Kurt said looking up with a somewhat sheepish grin. "I... kinda lost track while looking at all the tasty treats and foods." He was a teen and a mutant- so Kurt definitely tended to think with his stomach a lot of the time. "My apologies," he said with a slight head bow.

"You aren't the only one," Hannibal said. "Why don't you come to the restaurant first. Once you know it well enough to teleport back, you can wander as you like."

"Aye, will do! Thank you, Professor Lecter," Kurt said as he made to follow after him. "It really is amazing, isn't it?" he asked as he looked around again, still wide eyed. "There's just so much to see!"
