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.

She set a loaf of bread down as well. "I brought some fresh baked bread to go with, because you really need it to sop up the juices at the end. It's one of my favorites. Simple and it can cook on the stove all day so when you get in from whatever work you've been doing the whole house smells wonderful and welcoming."
