"Something new!"

"Ooh, I don't think we've tried you on Indian food before, how do you feel about spicy."

"Sounds great!"

Wings and scooping?

Those!!!

Eeeee.

And then she brings them to a beautiful little hole-in-the-wall Indian place.

Oooh pretty place.

And it has tasty food! Edie will be happy to explain what things like curries and naan are.

It reminds her of some food from Bezanab, although the style is not quite the same.

"What's Bezanab food like?"

"Depends on the place, big kingdom, but nearer the northeast it's spicy and uses lots of bittersweet sauces and goat meat and cheese and grain."

"Huh." Show me?

She does: a table with various spices and sauces around for you to dip bread and cheese in, or to put on the meat; people mixing some of those in certain orders, and eating with nuts and beans; baked fruits with honey and peppered mint; and so on.

Ooh. Interesting. I should take you out for fondue sometime.

Fondue...?

Cheese and chocolate sauces that you dip things in! She sends some good examples.

Oooh yes I wanna try that! Chocolate is such a good thing I love chocolate.

It's really great!

I need to figure out if that plant even exists back home or whether I should just import it.

It grows in tropical rainforests, d'you have any of those on the accessible continent?

Yeah, most of Bezanab is between the Equator and our equivalent of the Tropic of Capricorn and it has rainforests.

Huh. Do you know much about what species live there?

Not really. Nothing I've seen here looks obviously alien though.

That's not really saying much...have you recognized specific species, or is it just, 'yep, that is a random plant'?

I don't think I've ever paid enough attention to any plants to determine whether they'd be strictly the same species as any plants here but some do look very alike.
