About Soseki, Shamspeare and Olive´s favorite food!

Soseki didn´t even realize you could HAVE a favorite food before he came to Britain because food was always more of an obligation than something to enjoy. His family didn´t have much growing up, and he actually sometimes forgets to eat when he´s deep into his studies or writing. Back in his homeland after a year of the most horrendous food he ever had, eating himself through the menus of every possible restaurant in Japan and realizing that "Everything Japanese!" is not much of an answer, he decided that the simple things are sometimes the best. In this case, that means: cat-shaped Onigiri and green tea yokan.

Shamspeare might SAY that his favorites are soup and salad, but that´s because they are the cheapest things on the menu and therefore the only dishes he could afford in case he gets caught on his way out without paying. The real answer is that he doesn´t have a specific favorite food, it´s whatever is edible. He particularly loves sweets and desserts, though, because that´s something he doesn´t get to have that often, so it feels special to eat them. He has a love-hate relationship with ice cream. It´s so cold and pretty much impossible to steal, but it´s sooo gooood!

Olive has fond memories of the bean stew she grew up with. She tried to replicate it and gave some to Duncan, but she didn´t get the taste right and was even sure that hers was terrible. He had smiled and said it was delicious. While it´s not a favorite in terms of taste, she likes ordering salads because they´re pretty and colorful, and she likes to compare how different restaurants plate them. She also likes chocolate a lot but doesn´t like to admit that in case people make fun of her again :(
