This catboy may or may not be sending this from one of the bunks.]

I'm bored. Pray tell me, denizens of the train, if you could have any food appear to you right this instant, what would you choose? If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would you choose?

Me, I would pick dzo buuz.

Well, if it's just one item... then... Persephone's baklava.

[His cheeks burn bright with embarrassment. Hopefully said Persephone is not listening!]

But if it's a whole meal, then that for dessert... and before dessert, a bottle of ambrosia, a gyro, and thin fried potatoes. I think they're called "fries"?

[catti]

[Noting for later.]

Gyro?

[dyingpro]

Yes, a gyro! It's... grh, it's hard to explain, but then again I'm not the best at explaining food to anyone. I just know what tastes good and what doesn't.

[It also doesn't help when you have a cloistered upbringing with a bunch of gods who don't have to eat.]

So a gyro, right, it's got this thin bread-like stuff, that's fried in a pan, I think. And then on top of that you put on this white sauce that's a little salty, a little sour, and with little bits of... green? Is green a flavor? And then you put lettuce and tomatoes and onion on, and then you add this seasoned meat, which... I don't know what kind it is, to be honest, I just sort of eat them when the Wretches drop them, or when Charon is selling them. But it's really good, I promise it is!

[catti]

Sounds like an omelet without eggs.

[Green is absolutely a flavor. Also don't mind that he's chuckling just a little in his response.]

[dyingpro]

[Have a multi-colored squint, K'zeka, as Zagreus tries to figure out how the hell one can make an omelet without eggs... or whether this is a bizarre riddle that can be solved only by the wisest in the land. Universe? Whatever.]

... well, it's folded over like one, I suppose? But it doesn't have any eggs in it. Unless you need eggs to make the pita? That's the bread stuff everything goes in.

[Guess who is just learning how to cook things on the Train. Who needs to know how to cook on your home world when you have a Head Chef ghost living in your kitchen?]

[catti]

I don't think bread has eggs in it.

[K'zeka's still giving voice responses, so Zagreus doesn't get to see his own mismatched squint back.]

'Tis a sandwich, then.

[dyingpro]

Well other pastries and things have eggs in them, so I thought bread might as well.

[Squinting intensifies]

Wha- no, it's not two pieces of bread with stuff in the middle, it's one piece of flat bread, and the sides are folded around the stuff in the middle, and it's wrapped in foil. It's not like any sandwich I've heard of.

[He in fact knows three: peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, grilled cheese sandwiches, and yaddon tail sandwiches. All of those have two pieces of bread!]

video

[catti]

[He hits video this time for the response, so Zagreus gets to see his look of confusion as well.]

'Tis still a sandwich if it has bread and filling. Or a pie.

[Well, bread and whatever foil is. Is foil a food?]
