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."

Hannibal chuckled. "So I see." He began leading the way back to the restaurant. "Can you make those on your own, or would you like some assistance?"

“I think some of the dishes I’ll need a bit of help with,” Guillermo admitted, “I don’t know how I’ll go making them in the common room,” some of the recipes did seem to be a bit more challenging than he was used to.

"If you'd like, I'm always happy to help a young chef," Hannibal said. "And I have a very good kitchen."

“I would like that, my mama had to work a lot when I was young so I had to learn how to do a lot of things myself,” Guillermo admitted thanks new canon for more Guillermo backstory. “but I would like to learn more challenging and different recipes though,”

Especially since he now had several that he could try.

"Of course." Hannibal smiled. "You have my email; get in contact whenever you like, and we can set up a time for you to visit. I have cats; you aren't allergic, are you?"

“I can do that, thank you,” Guillermo smiled, “and I love cats, I’m not allergic to them though,” he added
