Philosophy of Food, 3rd period

[sharp_man]

"Good afternoon," Hannibal said, nodding to the class. "Today we continue our discussion of what is and isn't food, and how our preferences are formed."

He waved toward the table behind him, which held pairs of dishes this time. "We've got an assortment of foods and beverages today, organized into pairs. You may choose only one from each pair - you cannot have both. You may choose neither, if you prefer. But in any case, you must explain your choice. Why do you prefer the option you've chosen - taste? Nostalgia? Curiosity? Feel free to debate with each other as well, and ask each other or me questions. Remember, there are no wrong answers - it's reasoning and thought we're looking for."

Third pair

The covers came off the next set of dishes. "Pan-fried salmon, or barbequed salmon head. Please keep in mind," he added as he squared the plates up, "that the head of the fish has much more nutrition, particularly prepared like this."

This one took a little more considering. "I'm gonna try the salmon head," she said. "I ain't," CHURCH SPEAK dropped next to her. "I never had salmon head before, though I've eaten enough heads of other fishes, so I'd like to try it."

"Pan-fried," Liliana decided, though she did take a few minutes of her own to consider. "After the heaviness and flavor of the paté, I want something a little lighter."
