[Some of it even Robert can't identify.]

... To be... e-entirely honest, sometimes I... wonder what sorts of foods o-other people deem as... edible.
tailasoldastime: (Aru?)

[personal profile] tailasoldastime 2012-03-27 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
[He looks at Robert questionably.] "Edible"? [But it's on the "food" table, isn't it?]
semper_cogitans: (:|)

[personal profile] semper_cogitans 2012-03-27 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yes, but that doesn't make it look like food.]

Well... does s-some of this truly... resemble food...?
tailasoldastime: (Awwwwkwarrrrd)

[personal profile] tailasoldastime 2012-03-29 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
[He turns back and looks... actually, some of that looks quite different from food he's used to... what... what can he even call that?]

Uh... n-no... n-not all... b-but if it's food, then... [Then truly it's good to eat, right...?]
semper_cogitans: (D:>)

[personal profile] semper_cogitans 2012-04-03 03:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[... Hopefully...]

I am, er, n-not certain if I... trust it...

[Cue Robert poking awkwardly at a gelatinous blob of melted cheese on one nacho.]
tailasoldastime: (Awwwwkwarrrrd)

[personal profile] tailasoldastime 2012-04-06 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[He slowly looks at the indicated food... well, when he points it out like that, it's a little hard not to see how that can be... ugh...

He is starting to lose his appetite now, thank you Robert.]
semper_cogitans: (:|)

[personal profile] semper_cogitans 2012-04-15 02:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sorry, Beast. Robert is just as uncomfortable as you are, if it helps...]

... At least s-some of this looks... decidedly edible...?
tailasoldastime: (Wait come again?)

[personal profile] tailasoldastime 2012-04-19 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
De... d-decidedly...?
semper_cogitans: (:/)

[personal profile] semper_cogitans 2012-05-07 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
... Well, m-moreso than... others.

For example... [Robert gestures to some popcorn.] ... This.
tailasoldastime: (Huuh whatwhat?)

[personal profile] tailasoldastime 2012-05-09 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[His eyes widen at these strange white flakey things. How can he even tell if those are "decidedly" edible?] Wh-what are those?
semper_cogitans: (:>)

[personal profile] semper_cogitans 2012-05-11 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
... I believe they are called... "popped corn"... or, er, p-popcorn for short...

... S-Simply put, they are... superheated k-kernels of corn that have... expanded. Very light, and... l-low in calorie content... they are, er, g-generally flavoured somehow, with salt or other additives.
tailasoldastime: (Hrm?)

[personal profile] tailasoldastime 2012-05-11 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmm... [He cautiously picks up one of them. "Light", he says... and low in "calorie content", whatever that is. He looks back at Robert; are you sure it's alright to try this?]
semper_cogitans: (-w-)

[personal profile] semper_cogitans 2012-05-27 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Robert gives a reassuring nod, and then, to further drive home the point, takes a handful of the popcorn himself.

Om, nom.]
tailasoldastime: (Huh... wow...)

[personal profile] tailasoldastime 2012-06-01 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[The first thought that comes to his mind is actually, "Oh, so that's how you eat them." Well, he seems to be enjoying them... if he's right, and it is safe... alright, Robert, he'll try.

He hesitantly takes some of the popcorn from the bowl... hm, they're much lighter than he expected. The texture is so strange... well... here it goes...

Nom. Mm, is he tasting butter? Hey, that's pretty nice... a little crunchy, but still light and flakey. He can taste the salt, too, but he's very much liking that butter right now.

He approves. Robert's getting a "Mmm" to confirm this.]
semper_cogitans: (:>)

[personal profile] semper_cogitans 2012-06-04 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[Success. Robert smiles almost affectionately.]

Popcorn is... one of those f-foods that is very easy to prepare...

... All it n-needs is heat, and... a little patience.
tailasoldastime: (Huuh whatwhat?)

[personal profile] tailasoldastime 2012-06-05 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Munch munch. Good popcorn. Gulp.]

H... heat?
semper_cogitans: (-w-)

[personal profile] semper_cogitans 2012-06-05 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. Superheating a... c-corn kernel causes water trapped within the kernel to... e-evaporate and expand - this is what... bursts the kernel open and causes it to... r-resemble this shape.

[Basic food science!]
tailasoldastime: (Eyebrow-raising-face-of-doom!)

[personal profile] tailasoldastime 2012-06-05 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm... [He tries to imagine the process in his head. For once Robert's science - while still not really Beast's forte - is basic enough for him to at least get an idea of what it looks like. For small white flakes, they certainly are strange.]

You mean they're... th-they're like corn? O-other corn?
semper_cogitans: (:|a)

[personal profile] semper_cogitans 2012-06-05 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. They are... the s-same thing, just simply heated a different way...

... C-Corn kernels are one of the few foods that... b-behave in such a manner, though superheating other v-vegetables is possible. It would just... not produce something l-like this.

This is why popcorn is... r-relatively low in calories, though - much of this is a-air.
tailasoldastime: (Huuh whatwhat?)

[personal profile] tailasoldastime 2012-06-07 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmm... [He says as he examines another piece of corn to confirm Robert's statement. He's right - there truly isn't much to it. The only thing he notices other than the flakes is the remains of the corn parts... kernel, right? Right.

Now munch again.]
semper_cogitans: (:>)

[personal profile] semper_cogitans 2012-06-12 08:38 am (UTC)(link)
[For a few moments, they eat in silence, reflecting on the inscrutable qualities of popcorn. (How did they even get to this point?)

Finally, Robert looks up and smiles a little.]


... There are... many ways to p-prepare food. I should... show you s-sometime...
tailasoldastime: (Huuh whatwhat?)

[personal profile] tailasoldastime 2012-06-13 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[He looks up in question from his popcorn-eating.] There is? [He... never really knew of any other way aside from what he did for tea and sandwiches.]
semper_cogitans: (:|)

[personal profile] semper_cogitans 2012-06-13 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Of c-course. Even with... the technology h-here, there are several... r-readily-accessible ways. Ovens and stovetops, toasters, m-microwaves...

... [He's not sure if Beast knows the latter ones.]
tailasoldastime: (Aru?)

[personal profile] tailasoldastime 2012-06-13 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Toasters... m-micro... waves...?

[...]

... Does the toaster m-make... toast?
semper_cogitans: (:|a)

[personal profile] semper_cogitans 2012-06-13 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[...]

... Y-Yes. It... it does. In fact, that... is e-essentially one of its sole purposes...
