Truth be told, she had hardly mentioned the state of the food back in the hells, where a paltry ration would be coated in a thick enough layer of soot, cinder and ash that sometimes avoiding the tongue had its own benefits. As Karlach looked at the charred hunk of what once been a decent cut of beef, she folded her arms. Perhaps it might've been better to allow their resident wizard the control of the food this evening. Gods, if her mother had seen what she'd opted to serve up under the notion of if it's burnt, it is ready sort of mindset she'd have her tailing her in the kitchen so she can learn through observation and a slew of questions to test whether or not her daughter had been listening.

"I will have you know," Karlach began, and waggled a pointed talon at Birvor. "We were lucky if anything we got was edible. Most of the time we ate it even when it wasn't because it was all we would see for a few days. Had to ration that shit out, too."

Well, he might not have known much about the hells...aside from that awful meeting he hadn't exactly agreed to where he'd mostly just been content to fill his plate of food that was definitely not a pile of rotten, spoiled garbage masquerading as good eats courtesy of the devil that put it there while said devil ran his mouth about how great he was to make a deal with, but he supposed if anyone knew of hellbound food, it was her.

Squinting at the waggled talon, he crossed his arms over his chest as she went about setting him straight on the matter. The matter of choking down charred food when it's all one had, that was. "I'm not saying I won't eat...inedible things -" He paused, retrieving what looked like a lolth candle from his pocket. The pink crystal caught the light a moment like a pretty trinket of an offering that he might have been keen to slide her for a smile...if of course he didn't shove the thing into his mouth and give it a strong enough crunch to sever it in half and begin the tedious process of eating literal rocks -

"-but ya know, I grew up in the upper city. And even the bad thrall sanctioned scraps were still...considered luxuries by most. So, best ignore my spoiled ass critique - " Said whilst chewing and crunching up a literal ass rock.
