[Lunatia's resident centaur lady is back on screen, and this time she's sharing the spotlight with... a table full of fresh vegetables? Still a bit dirty, fresh from the soil, good ol' vegetables... That Konoha bows over to start out.]

Hello, everyone! My name is Konoha... I'm a jinba, or a "centaur" if you want... I'm from Echigo in Japan, but lots of people say I'm from the past...

[She's just going to do the same introduction every time, counting off details on her fingers to make sure she gets all the good points... there's too many people on this thing and she doesn't check it enough to keep track... oops. Anyway-]

I wanted to ask people some questions about food! My husband and I have set up a little farmstead, but the crops are growing, um, way faster than they really ought to be... [we're just going to speed past the blush] and it's not like we actually have to work for money here, so I was thinking of not just taking the crops to market but... serving meals at the house? Or sending them to people elsewhere in the city? I don't know, but I've met a lot of people here who said they just eat food from the stores, and I know those are really convenient, but it can't be better than a home cooked meal, can it?


[Look at this big turnip! Isn't it healthy looking?! Don't you just want to eat it?? Konoha smiles, making the root vegetable dance around the screen.]

So... can I ask you some questions about what sort of food you like? Or what kind of things you miss from your home? Maybe what they make in your country with vegetables? If you give me some of your time, I'll send you some fresh ones as a "thank you"-

Promise!

[One last bow... and she and the turnip sign off.]

Before I came here, I wasn't home for years, so I miss a lot of things!
I could honestly just go for a nice, fresh stir fry. Lots of garlic!
Meat optional, but beef or seared pork if I had the choice.

I'd pay for some fresher vegetables, by the way. :)

SHE'S SO CUTE I DON'T REGRET TAGGING THIS

Oh! That sounds just up my alley. :)
I cook a bit.
I didn't really have much time with work back home.

Aww! What an handsome turnip! Really cool to hear about a farm, too, and rad that it's doing so well!

I'm definitely willing to answer questions about food, so... I guess an easy default is roasted veggies and rice, for me. If we're being really specific to country-of-origin, though... Taro is king for sure!

[DID SOMEONE SAY VEGETABLES????]

That is one hell of a turnip. There's a lot I could cook with that.

[He's almost drooling.]

But as for vegetables from my home country, they it's a lot of potato, corn, carrots, onions but as for the ones I personally love it'd be tomatoes, daikon, shiso, lotus root, and bamboo shoots from Japan. My second home.

A lot of travel! So I typically don't have a kitchen or time when I'm moving from place to place.
Yeah! I'm not so much into that, myself, so I'm working now as security for Salon de Marie.
Are you planning on making your home a sort of restaurant, then?
getting_better: (Sincere)

[personal profile] getting_better 2019-11-15 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I lived in Tokyo for a few years. [He says speaking in fluent Japanese.]

My actual homeland, where I was born, is the America. New York but, ahh....it's been a long time since I've gone home.

I know it pretty well, I think? Most of what I'm familiar with might be kinda' Americanized, but I don't know anything in that group that I don't like.

I'm pretty easy to please, though.

[Edo? That's an old way to referring to it.]

New York? Hooo! Boooy! Where to start?

[Well for one his New York is...in ruins. But when it was still around-]

Well, I guess the best thing about New York City is that you can find every kind of food there if you look hard enough. So many cultures and peoples from all over the world. Italian, Japanese, Chinese, Mediterranean, so much of it but it's known best for the cheesecakes and pizza. [A beat.] Oh I could really go for some cheesecake. I should bake one...

I like to, though.
It's some sort of cafe run by Marie. It's a very new job, though!
Hm. I'm not sure.
If you let people stay the night they have something where I'm from called a "bed and breakfast"?

That thing is huge! What a good looking turnip. [ it's prettier than him?? ] I'm glad to hear the farm is going so well, Konoha.

I think we're both familiar with a lot of Japanese cuisine, but roasted or caramelized vegetables are good for this time of year! Though my favorite is bitter melon stir fry.

[ A centaur. Surprisingly, something he hasn't seen before. ]

Not a bad idea. There's probably plenty of guys like me who aren't so great at cooking for themselves.

Shen Wei is the cooking one. I'll ask him what he might want.

[ Oh, this is sweet... and she's lucky enough to have her husband here! ]

Hello!
It is good to meet you ( ◠‿◠ )
That turnip looks very delicious
I never thought I'd see centaurs here
You're from Echigo?
I knew some from there.
I was told my home sounded like it was called Japan too!

Definitely!
A comfortable place to relax.
For vacation.
You know? Some people have never had it.


[ Jill isn't the most obvious, but she finds it absolutely charming! And, quite frankly, she figures she deserves it... ]
