So I've gathered. Is this actually some kind of endurance test where you come from? Only the gastrointestinally sound advance to adulthood?

Sure is. We call them cook-offs. You get to through it without your insides crawlin' up out of your throat in protest and you get your official man-badge at the end.

Are the women excluded, or are they just more sensible?

[brotimaeus]

Tch! If the women can make it as well as the men they can have a man-badge too. Cook-offs ain't no place for that kind of discrimination, bro.

You're a generous man. I can see why you became a teacher.

Re: audio

Thank you. Despite your questionable eating habits, I think you're alright, too.

You just can't appreciate good food. I won't hold it against you. We all have our faults.
