Aight, I'm about to enlighten a whole helluva lot of you so buckle up.

Le Réveillon is a holiday feast far and away proving the superiority of French. You'll never doubt who's on top of the ladder after a taste, so Giselle if she's still talking to me and I and anyone else who gets it are gonna school the rest of you on real food.

Normally we'd do that kinda thing for Christmas Eve and New Year's, but seeing as god and I aren't exactly on good terms and that means nothing to most of you besides, let's push it closer to the end of the year. Let's say [CONVENIENT DATE HERE]. Get the feeling some of you sad sacks are just as used to being alone for the holidays and need some kinda excuse.

Course, if you think you've got the superior recipes in your corner, you can always challenge us in the kitchen. Gauntlet? Consider it thrown. There's an industrial kitchen floor big enough for a full iron chef brawl or two.

Or we can duke it out the old fashioned way, if you wanna go for the real brawl.

((OOC: I'll throw a log up for cooking challenge, feasting, brawling, etc. after the holiday weekend, so around like the 26th or 27th. This way we can dodge overlapping with celebration plans and ICly the log can fit somewhere between xmas and new years. Unless someone else has an actual new years thing planned, I'll try to fold NYE stuff in there somewhere maybe?

Also it's close enough to the Figue and Ringo adventure that I think it's more than fair that characters can still be blasted with the truth beam for this post if you want. Go nuts.))

No.

[ if this were in person, the answer would come quick, and be unspeakably terse.

does she miss Waterdeep? of course. but home?

what's that? ]

I am liking hearty dishes, this is alll. Food should taste good and give feelings of satisfaction and cmfort.

[Huh...it's an interesting response. Comfort foods usually come with some sentimental tradition attached to them, like a family recipe handed down for a long time or food that carried someone time and time again through sick or sad days. For the window on the sentimentality to get closed in her face so quickly, well... she's interested to see what the holes are there.]

Guess when it comes to staying warm in the winter, you can't beat meals with some heavy substance. Holds true whether your meal is for a prince or a pauper.

Decadence and comfort... two different sides of the same coin, if you ask me.

[ poke Sprezzatura enough, and it turns out she's full of holes. so many, so blatant. ]

I suppose... yes. Precisely. Comfort like that, I can agree with. Feelings of your city's dishes bringing you that feeling of being taken care of.

[The feeling of being cared for... how many of them are pathetic enough to get it more readily from a place like this and people like these than elsewhere? Odette would cut her tongue out before she admitted to herself any sentimentality in this effort, any desire to share in this sort of experience. It's about the richest meal of the year and national cuisine superiority only.]

What else're holidays for? Bennet'll prolly be pleased as punch we're acting like one big happy family. Once we've settled the score once and for all, that is!

[velluminous]

[ sure, jan. ]

You are still talking as though tthere will be brawls.

[cardsharked]

You know what they say. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

[Is she including brawls in the "best" or the "worst" category, though...?]

Don't sweat it. You can keep your nose clean and stick to the kitchen.

[velluminous]

I will try food, of course. This also..
