Gastronomeby Red Wolf

Andrew stared into his plastic take-away container in confusion. He poked at the contents with a spork, but they still insisted on looking like the insides of a Ghilmn demon. Spearing an orange-striped crescent, he brandished it at Dawn. "What is this?"

"Tiger prawn." She was attacking her own lunch with relish.

"And this?" Andrew picked up what looked like a large, white rubber band.

"That's calamari," Rachel explained, popping a baby octopus into her mouth. "It's a squid."

Andrew shuddered. London may be a culinary adventure for the girls, but he drew the line at eating things with tentacles.

Andrew's not adventurous in his food, but given that it might look like a demon he fought, you can't blame him! — via LiveJournal — posted by Jan at 10.09.2007 19:34 AEST | #
I can't see Sunnydale being a centre of dining excellence, but the lad does need to stretch his horizons a little now he's out in the real world — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 10.09.2007 19:35 AEST | #
now now Andrew, calamari is delicious — via LiveJournal — posted by cornerofmadness at 10.09.2007 19:36 AEST | #
As are tiger prawns and octopus. Yum! — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 10.09.2007 19:36 AEST | #
Hee! I totally agree. I once ordered a Frutti Di Mari plate and a baby squid crawled off my plate and expired. ::shudder::

I had a lot of bread and butter, that meal — posted by beadattitude at 10.09.2007 19:37 AEST | #
But tentacles taste good... — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 10.09.2007 19:38 AEST | #
::folds lips firmly shut and makes the universal face of nuh-uh, not eating that::

Unless of course, it's fresh and fried, and I can forget what it is — via LiveJournal — posted by beadattitude at 10.09.2007 19:39 AEST | #
I'm on Andrew's side with this one. A meal that can feel its way going down your esophagus is not for everyone — via LiveJournal — posted by IrishVampire13 at 10.09.2007 19:39 AEST | #
I love calamari. Pretty beasties. When you swim with them they point their tentacles at you and change colour to disappear into the sea floor. And they taste good. Mmm... tentacles... — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 10.09.2007 19:40 AEST | #
One final thing...

Since you defriended me, you won't be able to read this anymore through your Memories, what with my LJ being friends-locked. But since I did write it for you, I don't want to deprive you of sillygiggles.

Prime Time Holovision Program Guide for 10-03-2654

12:00 AM PST: Chatting with Cyber Cindy presents an all-new, controversial chat special: "Tentacle Monsters, and the People who Love Them".

Overview: Scandal erupts when Earthlings reveal their forbidden, sordid love affairs with Europa's Tentapods.

What can you expect from tonight's special? In a rare interview, Cyber Cindy dropped the following tantalizing hint:

"Well, I don't want to give anything away to our viewers. But I will admit that I've had to double my security. With ten arms, those Tentapods can be tough customers in a brawl."

Tune in tonight to find out what happens!

Andrew so has to try the seafood, usually he is see food and eat it (sorry could not resist). Great work as always — via LiveJournal — posted by woman_of_ at 10.09.2007 19:42 AEST | #
see food and eat it

Well, someone had to say it. It's way too tempting to resist — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 10.09.2007 19:42 AEST | #
I side with Andrew on this one! Good drabble — via LiveJournal — posted by semby at 10.09.2007 19:43 AEST | #
But tentacles are delicious... And if you rip the heads of prawns they make excellent finger puppets to torture your siblings with — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 10.09.2007 19:44 AEST | #
LOL! Too funny. Expect Andrew's had some experience with tentacles that's put him off? :) — via LiveJournal — posted by lillianmorgan at 10.09.2007 19:44 AEST | #
I expect he has too. Poor Andrew. Can't be a fun thing to find that lunch looks like demon guts — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 10.09.2007 19:45 AEST | #
Very cute! Poor unsophisticated Andrew! :) — via LiveJournal — posted by tinpanalley at 10.09.2007 19:46 AEST | #
Maybe he's just seen the insides of too many demons to appreciate seafood — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 10.09.2007 19:47 AEST | #
Silly Andrew! Calamari is good. (I like his visual assessment of the food, though. It does seem to be a very in-character simile) — via LiveJournal — posted by Elizabeth Culmer at 10.09.2007 19:49 AEST | #
Associating food with bad things can really put you off it and Andrew would have seen more nasty things than most. Maybe they should have blind-folded him first — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 10.09.2007 19:50 AEST | #
LOL! I'm with Andrew for once.

You have such a way of making the more commonplace moments hilarious — via LiveJournal — posted by myfeetshowit at 10.09.2007 19:51 AEST | #
Andrew brings out the silly in me. Although, it doesn't ned much encouragement — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 10.09.2007 19:51 AEST | #
::waves:: I'll just take that off your hands, Andrew :-) Nice drabble, but now I'm hungry! — via LiveJournal — posted by rayne_y_daze at 10.09.2007 19:52 AEST | #
So very true ;) — via FanFiction.net — posted by vanillagigglez at 14.09.2007 18:09 AEST | #
Who can blame Andrew? By that time tomorrow something with tentacles could be trying to eat him — via FanFiction.net — posted by Mark Hunter at 14.09.2007 18:10 AEST | #
Eww, gross. I'm with Andrew on this one. LOL — via The BatPack — posted by Tazi at 14.09.2007 18:11 AEST | #
