Food & Cultural Appreciation, Tuesday Third Period

[carbsliftthespirit]

"All right, guys, listen up!" Raiden said to his students today. "Today we're going to Mexico City for a taco tour, and you're gonna want to pace yourselves, okay? Today is gonna be a marathon, not a sprint.

"Mexico City is the sixth-largest city in the world, and it's full of delicious food. It was originally founded as Tenochtitlan, the capital of the Aztec empire, on Lake Texcoco--that's right, I said on the lake, on a series of islands and floating buildings, although most of the lake has now been drained to allow for building on solid land--and it has been occupied since about 1325 CE. It's a really great city full of art and culture and did I mention tacos? Let's stop wasting time talking about it and get to eating, yeah?"

Was Graham absolutely tried that they were, right now, having the Ultimate Taco Tuesday of All Taco Tuesdays??

Oh, you bet he was!

Those tacos weren't going to stand at chance!

Oh goddess. There were just. So many.

Even for someone who couldn't eat chicken, Arden had a truly ridiculous number to choose from.

Heaven.

"Hey," Arden said, holding out a plate with a pair of tacos on it. "Al pastor from Taquería Las Rejas? I had to throw elbows with locals to get some, so they should be really good."

[mustbeawitch]

Lydia might have the heart and soul of a witch, but she had the taste buds of a nineteenth century Englishwoman. She was proceeding with extreme caution and was probably still going to end up with her mouth on fire at some point.

Worth it, though.

Oh, lovely! It had been quite some time since Hannibal had been to Mexico. He was going to enjoy himself.
