[ thank you probably jan and or/zia 😔 ]

[ ... give her a moment to wrap her head around that. ]

So... knowing that burgers are a thing, and what they are, but not knowing what they taste like? Is that what you mean?

[retellers]

Well, I didn't know what burgers were or that they were a thing, but I knew sandwiches. Is it that I never heard of them but they exist at home, or that they don't exist and this is entirely new?

[chanteuser]

...





[ oh we just went deep. ]

I don't know. But you definitely knew what sandwiches were?

[retellers]

Uh-huh.

[chanteuser]

What about other foods...? Do you know what pancakes are? ... Pizza?

[retellers]

Pancakes yes, pizza no.

[chanteuser]

[ oh swan you poor birb ]

Oh. I'll have to try making one of those next. [ how to describe it... ] Think of something the shape of a pancake, but the base is more doughy. And you top it with... well. Whatever you want, with cheese and a base of tomato sauce.

[retellers]

[ they look... so confused because they're thinking of a fat pancake like that ]

It... sounds good?

[chanteuser]

[ i mean. it'll do. ]

It is, I promise. What sorts of toppings do you like? Um... as an example of the sort of stuff you can have on them, you get some pizzas with onions, chicken and barbeque sauce on top.

That sort of thing.

[retellers]

[ that sounds awful to their pancake thoughts and they are just. making a face ]

Maybe we just ... try the basic combo first?

[chanteuser]

[ she just smiles, looking genuinely amused. ]

Cheese and tomato, then.

[retellers]

Cheese and tomato! That doesn't sound so bad.

[chanteuser]

Simple is often the best. They're pretty fun to make actually...

[ hm ]

Do you like cooking? [ "becks you can't have cooking threads with all the mod characters?" i can TRY ]

[retellers]

I don't think I've ever cooked before? But I'm willing to try!

[chanteuser]

I can let you know when I'm making it. Topping a pizza's easy, and if you see anything else you like you can add it before I cook it.

[ pizza!! ]

[retellers]

But only things that go well with cheese and tomato sauce.

[ very serious. none of that bbq chicken nonsense ]

[chanteuser]

I’m not going to police your pizza. You can add — or not add? —- whatever you want.

[retellers]

I want it to taste good for my first one!

[chanteuser]

People eat things like pineapple on pizzas. Most things are fine.

[retellers]

Pineapple? [ WHAT IS A PIZZA ]

[chanteuser]

Don't worry, it's a pretty controversial choice.

[retellers]

There are controversial pizza toppings???

[chanteuser]

Yes.

... You can literally put anything on a pizza, but it doesn't mean you should. And people have Opinions [ you can literally hear the capitilisation there ] on them.

[retellers]

What kind of food is this??

[chanteuser]

Adaptable.
