@227heartâ / GLORIA ;
Well that stung. Itâs not like she was the most AMAZING cook in the world but gosh she at least thought that she could cook a decent curry. Well that wasnât the case. Even still she takes her spoon and takes a bite. It was fine ? Well at least that was her opinion. Props on him for being so â Honest. It was a trait that she was ever to slowly getting use to the more time she spent with him, but that didnât stop her feelings for being hurt.
â Oh, itâs not to your liking ? It is too sweet ? â
Well, Itâs not like she could do much now, but at least for the next time -Oh, Uhm; if there was a next time she would know what he liked. Wait, not that it really mattered. Not that wanted a next time. She takes a moment for hazel hues to scan the scenery around, perhaps some spare berries on the tree would be able to help - save the dish. Even still she didnât want to leave him hungry after she had offered some food.
âYou used Pomeg berries, didnât you?â Itâs not like Bede was a master chef himself, but... his tastes were acute and he was picky to a fault. And while he was willing to eat literal burnt soil at times if it suited to satiate his hunger ; that doesnât mean he couldnât be critical of someoneâs culinary work... when he felt up to it.
âItâs not that itâs too sweet, itâs âcause I know itâs supposed to be sweet, but the skin of the berries gave it this gross, bitter after-taste. Ugh,â
He groans as he trudges towards the direction Gloria had been quietly eyeing, hopping (pretty pathetically- needing to take a few tries,) before snapping some berries off of the branch.
âCatch,â he murmurs aloud as he trots back, saving one berry in his hand. âMight as well embrace this mess, yeah? Try these.â
Occa berries. âThe hotness from the spice makes the sweetness even sweeter. Then add a pinch of salt. A pinch. Salt causes a chemical reaction that negates the bitterness and amplifies the sweetness... but only in small amounts. Add too much, and youâll fuck it up even further.â
â...Youâre a real nutter offerinâ what I can only assume to be an original recipe to someone on the first try. Youâre not gonna get it right the first few times, so donât even try to feel bad about it. If it ends up tasting good with the adjustments, hey- you can take credit for it. I donât care, Iâm just starved.â Sigh.
