[As a general rule, Leah disapproves of networks of faceless people, and believes them to be little more than a collective gathering of the deepest idiocy imaginable. But she's out of resources on her own, and she has a very important question that needs to be answered.]

I need a set of examples of all Midgardian- that is, Earth- delicacies which are far superior to milkshakes. [A brief pause. She's not so good at this.] Please. It's very important.

[It's not. It's just to rub in Loki's face.]

I am not sure how well that logic functions when examined closely, but I will accept your assumption for now if you explain what cotton candy is.

I see.
But not, I assume, in the same way that iced cream does.
That does sound much better but I think I require more detail.
In what ways would you say that makes it superior to a milkshake?

I can't say I know much about Earth edibles, other than what I have seen and have been told. I have heard good things about human chocolate and ice-cream, however.

Personally, I have a preference towards various fruits either blended finely into a smooth and drinkable mixture or squeezed until the juice bleeds from them.

I'm glad to hear from you. Give me a moment, I feel as though I should be writing all of this down so I can reference it later.

[There's the sound of rustling paper, as she does, really and truly, get a notepad to write this all down.]

Ice cream is similar to milkshakes, is it not? I am not sure I can use that. But the juice drinks are new to me. Can you describe them in more detail?

[scarygirl]

Yes I had heard that unspeakable things had to be done to the cow to produce a milkshake. I will make a note of that.
Is there no limit to how much cotton candy you can eat?

[scarygirl]

I am not sure it is possible for me to get stomach aches.
Or Loki when it comes to that.
Gods do not get sick and I do not need to eat.
But if anybody could eat enough cotton candy or milkshake to get sick it would probably be him so its something to consider.
Can you get it anywhere?

Well, I believe that ice-cream is one of the key ingredients in milkshakes, but there are different kinds of ice-cream that are not necessarily cream based, though those frozen confectionery treats are usually made of frozen juices or syrups, which are fairly nice on a hot day.

[Which, for her, was everyday, because she lived in a desert.]

Well, when I was on Alternia, I usually grew my own fruits, vegetables, and other edible plant-life in the oasis that my lusus and I had cultivated in our oasis. Some of the plants could be squeezed for juices of various flavors, the more bitter of which could be dulled with water and sweetened with sugar. Others could be blended until liquified.

I don't know about superior, but I'm pretty fond of choco-pan.

[...oh wait she probably doesn't know what that is]

It can be either chocolate bread, or bread that's got chocolate inside.

[scarygirl]

To be honest, I still don't understand why that is there. It seems excessively frivolous for Hel.

[It turns out that Leah hasn't actually given too much thought to where Kanaya came from or what she is. The Nine Realms are full of all sorts of intensely different species, some of them barely recognizable as humanoid; it didn't seem worth commenting on.

Now, though-]

I'm sorry, Kanaya, but I only understood every other word out of what you just tried to explain.

Apple pie. Best hot, with ice cream or cheese on top.

What's your vendetta against milkshakes, anyway?

Jelly babies.

And what of things not from 'earth'?

[As his world isn't technically Earth.]

[missbarrow]

Strawberry shortcake is alarmingly good. Have you had a chance to try it?

[scarygirl]

[Leah doesn't even know what most American foods are, and Asgardia sits in Oklahoma. Japan is way, way out of her way.]

What's the difference between those two? The location of the chocolate?

video;

[scarygirl]

No, I haven't. I don't need to eat. I only try food when forced to do so. Or when there seems like a particularly compelling reason to eat, which is not often.

video;

[scarygirl]

...I had not thought of that. [Give her a moment to reconsider.] If you are human it will count. Or if you are from the same realm- the same universe- as Earth. We would call that Midgard, but the denizens of it do not.

voice

[scarygirl]

- do I really wish to know what that is?

[video]

[scarygirl]

I don't have a vendetta against milkshakes. I take offense to having them repeatedly thrust in my face and declared the greatest discovery ever made and that I should laud the one who made it because I happened to have one once. It is idiotic and I do not have to stand for it.

Your suggestion is duly noted and I will investigate.

[dyingisnotdead]

I am a human, yes.

And food is quite subjective, do you not think? One meal loved by another may be something another may hate. I do not know what a 'milkshake' is,

[For it sounds ridiculous, for who would shake milk, but to make butter]

But I have always enjoyed honeycakes since I was a child.
