VANARA + AMALTHEA

[soulping]

You arrive at your table to find that the noises around you are a bit muffled, however, you can always step out from behind the table and talk smack, if you wish.

In front of you are top quality cooking items, any bowls or machines you could wish for, to create the ultimate culinary masterpiece.

There is also a closed basket. And a big, red button.

He knows just enough about cooking to know that this is going to end in tears.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[cleverlikea]

Uwaaahh ♥ This echo's taste buds must be dead ♥

Re: DISCUSSION

[allergictostairs]

[Not going to object to that... he's still holding a grudge over the jello lake.]

Uhh, maybe we should just use the leafy stuff for decoration...

Re: DISCUSSION

[cleverlikea]

Mm, yes ♥ We could perhaps chop the pink stalks and cook them together with the meat. ♥ Use the ice cream for... flavoring? ♥

[ who wants fish flavored anything tho ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[allergictostairs]

...We should prolly just go for either sweet or savory.

[he's not sure about throwing ice cream into meat and vegetables............]

Re: DISCUSSION

[cleverlikea]

We have to use all of the ingredients, do we not? ♥

Re: DISCUSSION

[unguilded]

Camel...?

Re: DISCUSSION

[allergictostairs]

I thought that was like, optional?

[since it asks whether they did or not?? it'd probably mean more points, but... it also means destroying the judges' tongues.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[allergictostairs]

I guess it's like... some kinda animal?

Re: DISCUSSION

[unguilded]

So it's meat-- maybe we can mix it with the asparagus for something. With a scoop of the icecream on the side? And then decorate it with the leaves around them both.

Re: DISCUSSION

[allergictostairs]

Looks like it... and yeah, I guess that would work?

[as long as the ice cream is not IN the meat.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[cleverlikea]

[ reexamining the rules ]

Ara~n ♥ A good catch ♥ Savory-sweet balances are difficult to strike ♥ Without an advanced skill, we're better off playing safe ♥

Re: DISCUSSION

[unguilded]

Maybe a stir fry...? With the meat and asparagus. Then a small scoop of the ice cream on the side. The leaves can be there but optional, because I think they're spicy if they're wasabi, right?

[ Also tasting some of the ice cream. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[allergictostairs]

Yeah...

[after a moment-]

I guess it'd work if it was just off to the side, though? Like the Amalthea guy says.

Re: DISCUSSION

[allergictostairs]

I dunno, are they?

[TASTES ONE OF THEM...??

...

then he looks like he may be regretting this decision a little.]

Re: TURN-IN

[unguilded]

How edible is your meal? ... 6?
How nicely is your meal plated? ...8?
Did you use all of the ingredients in the basket? Yes

BLURB: An artful stir-fry of camel meat and asparagus, juice from the latter accentuating the meat's taste. A tiny scoop of the fishy lox ice cream to enhance the flavor of the stir-fry, and for the spicy lovers out there, wasabi greens that blend with the stir-fry to give it a kick.

PRESS THE BUTTON?: No.
