\u2018Going so far as to create food that isn\u2019t food, that\u2019s a sim playing out in the mind, while diners chew on processed, edible cardboard. No offence to Harmony Li, Eria dear, but surely, surviving on edibites is a choice.\u2019 \u2018Consuming Feast is a choice, too,\u2019 Serenity Ko said tersely. \u2018Of course it is. And yet, you choose to ignore me, refuse to engage in conversation with me…\u2019 \u2018You\u2019ve already made your views clear, Ammmama,\u2019 Serenity Ko responded coolly. \u2018You disapprove of it because I\u2019ve invented the future of food, while all you\u2019ve done with our cuisine is try and maintain its past.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Ah, how stunted of me, to preserve a thousand-year-old cultural tradition.\u2019 Ammamma\u2019s tone dripped hostility. Don\u2019t engage, she\u2019s goading you into sniping at her, Serenity Ko thought. She tried to focus on soothing visuals, like the sight of empty space when she went slinging, the neon blue glow of a nilatini done right, the soft rouge moue of Saraswati\u2019s lips\u2026 \u2018I understand that you were trying to be charitable to that Earthling. And you know me, I\u2019m no xenophobe, so if you want to pursue a romantic relationship with her, then be my guest\u2026<\/p>\n

but inviting her into our kitchens, using the food knowledge that I blessed you with, all to destroy our heritage \u2014\u2019 \u2018You did nothing but belittle me all through our time together,\u2019 Serenity Ko snapped. \u2018I tried to learn from you, but Saras is the only one who didn\u2019t treat me like an idiot.\u2019 \u2018I didn\u2019t treat you like an idiot, Ko,\u2019 Ammamma said firmly.<\/p>\n

\u2018I only showed a little tough love, and tried to set realistic expectations.\u2019 \u2018Enjoying the second course?\u2019 Honour Les asked, continuing their habit of appearing at inopportune moments. \u2018Yes!\u2019 everyone chorused around the table in near unison. \u2018The port is absolutely perfect to pair with the broth of moss and memory,\u2019 Ammamma said cheerily, giving nothing about the ongoing disagreement away. Serenity Ko had to hand it to her\u2014the old dragon had an immaculate poker face. \u2018Ah, that\u2019s one of our signature dishes,\u2019 Honour Les said with pride.<\/p>\n

\u2018We always hear the loveliest things about it. The shroomings are freshly sourced from the Arc each nava, and steeped in a vine-leaf vinegar for up to seven navas before they\u2019re deemed ready for ras extraction. The broth itself is agitated in our ice centrifuge\u2014a novel technology that we\u2019ve been using\u2026\u2019 Ammamma listened to Honour Les prattle on with the appearance of undivided attention.<\/p>\n
