Philosophy of Food, 3rd period
Class today met in the Danger Shop, which had been made to look like a very nice dining room, with a gourmet kitchen at one end in case anybody needed to make any last-minute adjustments to their offerings.
"Welcome to our final class," Hannibal greeted them with a smile. "I hope you've all brought your signature items. Today we'll be eating them. There will be no judging, only sharing these things and our stories about why these things are important to us and what meaning they may have."
He waved at his own offering. "I have made croque monsieur. My parents passed away when I was young, and I lived in an orphanage for some time. When my uncle adopted me and moved me to Paris, one of the first things I was given to eat was this. It's a kind of comfort food - a sandwich with ham and gruyère cheese, on good bread, with a béchamel sauce poured over it. Not terribly glamorous, but it held great significance to me."
He sat and nodded at them to do the same, then waited for their dishes and explanations.

Everyone, please contain your shock and surprise.
"When it comes to the kind of food that really sticks with you and tells a story," he declared, "there's nothing more reliable, more dependable, more convenient than good old Cup NoodleTM! Not only is it packed with unbeatable flavor and deliciousness, but that deliciousness also comes in a wide variety of incredible flavors," he was now setting out several more containers, from who even knew where, "to satisfy and delight every palate. Me, personally? I like the big, meaty flavors, but they have great vegetable and saucy kinds, too! They pack a satisfying punch, and you can't beat how easy they are to make.just add water and whatever other fresh ingredients you have a hand, and you're ready for a mouthful of magnificent, in an easy to go package that makes Cup NoodleTM the right snack or meal for any time!
"Even when food was scarce, and every meal was filled with uncertainty, I knew that if I had some delicious Cup NoodleTM on hand, then things were going to be pretty okay. Great for the good times, there for you in the tough times. And I've been pretty blessed to know some great chefs in my time," a nudge of his elbow to Ignis and a wink throw to Nell, "but sometimes? The awesome power of Cup NoodleTM just can't be beat to fight my massive hunger!"
