h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I'm hungry. Very hungry. So hungry that even if I was given the option of something rather nice (use your imagination), I'd have to ask "can we do it after diner".

Must go now as I've got to eat.

I've always found that one of the best cures for an empty stomach is, in fact, food. I realise that this may not seem obvious at first glance, but I can assure you that it is so. This fundamental truth seems to be overlooked by so many people, but personally I think it is very important.

Not having realised this before I'm glad you pointed it out. Up until now, when you pointed this out to me, I was just eating. I will now go in search of this food.

Any recommdations?

Cod with a sprinkling of cheddar always goes down rather well, I think.

Pasta, I just heard, is an easy and fun meal. Especially with tuna. Never tried it myself. I'll be giving it a go just after I have my super noodles.

Is that battered cod then? And how did you find out this combination.

Pasta is definitely an easy meal; whether it is a fun meal is up to the imagination of the cook, I think.

No, the cod () must be just the plain fish, no extra fat or anything, otherwise it doesn't work... I didn't actually find it out myself, it was a little purple sparrow that told me.

Useful those little purple sparrows, aren't they? If you can speak to worms you can find out the some of the most wonderful food around. This is due to them eating earth their whole lives, so they imagine foods that they would substitute fo the earth, if they could. They would be quite marvelous chefs. Only worms that live in Wales though. Others just don't have a clue.

I've never been to Wales.

May I enquire exactly what is special about the worms from Wales? If you're right, as you must be, I shall have to go about getting one for my kitchen.

There is nothing special about Welsh worms in particular. It's just that their the only ones that know how to put together the right ingredients. Other worms seem to know what they want, but, given the chance, couldn't pull it off. So I'm told.
