I have a need for a few volunteers. Though you won't need to be physically present.

[Ignis had given some consideration to leaving the house he'd previously occupied with (fluctuating levels of) companions, but has ultimately decided that the twelve feet of snake-tail he's now pulling along is far better suited to a larger home. Thus, he's speaking from the kitchen of a house some might recognise as having been the home of Prompto, or Steak and Red Wine, or even Caren Ortensia.

And he's planning to make good use of it.]

This world offers a good number of culinary challenges, and opportunities. If you have a moment, I'd like to hear about something that you're missing from your home - sweet, savoury, anything that comes to mind - and I'll need it described in as much detail as you can manage.

[He pauses for a moment, considering his next words.]

If I can, I'll do my best to replicate it for you. As closely as possible.

Slum food. Mainly barbeque. No idea why, it tasted like shit back then.

Why're you doing this?

Dire lobster. Either that or eel keesh.

stir fry. the spicier the sauce the better, tho if that also gets a hint of sweetness you're gonna win a jackpot

you're a hobby cook, or are you trying to make a business out of it?

It's probably a little bit of a cheat to answer, but homecooked food. I've learned to cook to a degree, but it's not I'll never have the same kind of dedication as someone who's determined to make good meals for their family.

I have no particular need for a specific food style but I would offer my services aiding in the reproduction. I am curious about these flavors from other stars.

[Ignis likely knows by now the guy is insanely good at dissecting the structure of food but had weirdly lacking cooking skills. He's better now. At least he's good enough to quickly pick up the basics and expand on the knowledge. Whether either of these facts help his case remains an unanswered question.]

Oh! What a great idea— there are places here in the city that make dishes and pastries similar to what I might have had at home, but it's not exactly the same.

[A chef who's willing to try and replicate favorite dishes? That's an opportunity she can't pass up.]

Have you ever heard of maultaschen?

[ Zack's first meeting with Ignis had been under such dire circumstances, and had come and gone so quickly, that he hadn't actually given much thought to the man until seeing his face pop up on his Watch. Suffice to say, Zack's glad that they're now able to talk about something as mundane as food. ]

Hey, Ignis! [ The face that appears on the feed is a marked difference from what Ignis might remember. There's color back in Zack's face, and his veins are no longer stained black. His gold eyes are bright and curious, and the feathers in his hair have also returned to a healthier hue.

Behind his head, Ignis might also catch a glimpse of wings (a new addition). ]

You're into cooking, huh?

[bloodwit]

There are a few.

But foremost, something called [...] jelly tarts. I could guess at the ingredients, but if you're skilled with baking, you would likely want to refine it.

[lightblooming]

This is so sweet of you to offer, but... I'm afraid that my answer would be a little strange.

Know what a devil's food cake is?
