*looks at the empty plate*

Pretty well...

I guess that makes it time for the main course, then. Limpiltoli! Our senses, if you please.
*Limpiltoli bows low and exits.*

*and returns with big plates full of delicious-looking senses*

Thank you, Limpiltoli. May the teeth of your comb never fall out, and your family always end on the right side of the table.

So, I bet you can't wait to...
*sees she has already started devouring a sense.*
...never mind...
*Picks up a sense.*

*finishes her senses*

I don't think I can eat anything for a week anymore...

What, no Chocolate Mousse with Fringenfulden?

I never said anything about dessert...

Limpiltoli! 2 Large Chocolate Mousses, and a Fringenfulden each, if you would!
*He brings them, bows silently, and departs.*
You know, you can take time to savor the dishes.....

You must mean I *could* do that... So what is this Fringenfulden??

Fringenfulden is the non-alcoholic native drink of the Sundertanians. It is a thick, creamy drink (not in a milkshake way, or a frothy way, more in a....creamy way.) Blue in colour, it tastes like....well.....you'll just have to have some....the taste varies from person to person, and depending on what you've had to eat, though it tends to be vaguely minty, but not in a disgusting way.....

Sounds - and looks - interesting...

*Downs half of his.*
Go on - have a taste...it won't bite....at least, not at this time of the year......

*tastes a bit*

So? What's the verdict?

*tastes a bit more*

Not immediately fatal, at least....

*empties the whole glass*

Much better! Maybe that should be the new advertising slogan - Not immediately Fatal, at least. Good, huh?

Yes, quite.

Now, to continue on around the village.........let's go around to the conservatory.....
