Discussion Friday

[geraineon]

It's time for Discussion Friday again~!

I woke up really hungry so in my quest to make everyone as hungry as I am, we're going to talk about food.

Does reading make you hungry? Have you read a particular good description of food or cooking in a c-novel* that made you salivate? Or perhaps you've read something that sounds absolutely atrocious (which makes you want to try it for Science). Did anything you read inspire you to cook, or seek that dish out?

Share them and let's make everyone hungry!

*feel free to very loosely interpret c-novel here for Discussion Friday, e.g., Chinese web-novels, Chinese novels, Chinese novellas/short stories, other language novels translated into Chinese, novels by Chinese (nationality or diaspora) published in non-Chinese language

I did get hungry reading the early chapters of 我五行缺你 My Five Elements Lack You, where the MC is in charge of cooking for the household... Any mention or shot of noodles makes me crave them. XD

This post (and your mention of an anthology) just reminded me of a short story I read from a different collection (A Thousand Beginnings and Endings). The story is Olivia's Table by Alyssa Wong, which is about ghosts and food and *checks my old notes* apparently lesbians.

Noodles! I love them too.

aaah I just read the story you linked. I love it! Thank you for sharing. My heart was a little achy after reading it, but it's beautiful.
