[The Story Eater has been vanquished and most of the elements it summoned have disappeared. But caches of Malice that appeared during the event have stubbornly remained around Reverein. Link isn't much of a journal post person, but he decides to say something anyway.

First, an imprint of a picture appears, along with an arrow pointing directly at it and a big, bold X.]

Don't touch the purple stuff.

Well -- meat, for one! It can make you sick if you eat it raw, but it's fine cooked.

There's a few mushrooms that are like that too. A lot of fish are really dangerous if not cooked. Oh, and kidney beans.

[skyglider]

Well-- meat isn't poison, but... the rest makes sense.

Kidney beans? And here I thought legumes were unassuming.

[a_sweet_little_peach]

I learned to stop making assumptions about which foods would make me sick uncooked and start asking. It's for the best.

One too many nights clutching my belly.

[skyglider]

Understandable. It's a lot to learn.

[He should know.]

While I'm on the topic -- do you have any particular dishes you like? I'm thinking of throwing a party at some point in the next month or so, and would like to have something everyone would enjoy.

[skyglider]

Dishes? Hm.
Rice balls? They take a bit of effort, but most seem to like them.
Or...perhaps a stew or a curry?

(shoot, thought I responded to this already; probably won't be able to get back to this for a bit--)

[a_sweet_little_peach]

[Did he get the wrong idea, or is Link being oblique?]

Well, those are all easy enough to make; I'll more than likely have a nice stew whenever I get around to hosting this party of mine, and there's lots you can do with rice. It holds onto flavors really well.
