Right, so... [Ugh, she almost forgot how much she dislikes using these things. Keep it short and... well, "sweet" is a bit of a stretch.] Here's a question for all you other saps who got the boot from the mountain to head up northways soon.

What are some of your favorite meals?

The yellow powder they put in the soup here, boiled eggs with the shells taken off, cheese, walnuts, they had these big orange-coloured fruits in Orlais — I don't know what they're called —

[ oranges. they're called oranges. ]

— Ham, the rest of the pig, onions, apples, cow tongue, cow eyes,

[ this continues on for several minutes, into increasingly esoteric territory, until finally: ]

... And salt.

[thecookery]

...is this a joke? Are you trying to mess with me?

[alankazam]

No, it's very good. [ salt is ] You can put it on all the other things. Or sometimes there are blocks of it, just put out on stands.

[ that's a salt lick. make the inquisition a salt lick, avery ]

[thecookery]

Aye, well it's still not a meal, mate.

[alankazam]

Why, are you a meal expert?

[ that would just be absurd. anyway, it seems to be an honest question. ]

[thecookery]

I'm one of the cooks here, if that's what you mean.

["Meal expert?" Really?]

[alankazam]

Oh, hello. I'm Alan.

[ how terribly informative ]

I help Marguerite sometimes.

[ if by ""helping"" you mean wasting the flour and overspicing the stew and repeating gossip and — occasionally — doing something genuinely useful ]

Used to. I suppose. But you could put salt on the meal, that's the point.

[thecookery]

And I do. Often.

[alankazam]

Then that's my favourite.

[thecookery]

[Siiiiiigh...]

Right. Fine. Noted.
