Oh, that is too bad. I would have tried to make it...

[slobjection]

Well... there's chocolate in it. That's a start.

[fishingforcompliments]

[oh my god for a second i thought they were talking about noodles like in one of our other threads and was like CHOCOLATE NOODLES?}

...we may be able to to find chocolate in the kitchens, I suppose.

[slobjection]

[ yea chocolate noodles ]

And milk... I think. Something milk-like.

[fishingforcompliments]

[i have actually purchased chocolate pasta before]

Hmm... it must have an interesting consistency.

[slobjection]

[ of course you have ]

[ also lets have a new pc post trial ]

I can get you one for reference.

[ flayn trying to recreate pudding based on store bought pudding is truly a horrifying prospect ]

[fishingforcompliments]

[ABSOLUTELY]

If you would like! I could also attempt to make it using just your description. Perhaps it would turn out correctly!

[no it won't.]

[slobjection]

Shall we head to the kitchen then?

[ for horrible pudding experiments doomed to fail ]

[fishingforcompliments]

Yes, we shall!

[failure: imminent]

[slobjection]

[ timeskips to kitchen.... gets a chocolate pudding... open it up for her. ]

Take that.

[fishingforcompliments]

...

[sticks a finger into the pudding]

It has an... odd consistency.

[slobjection]

Just try it.

[ and it will change her world!!! maybe. ]

[fishingforcompliments]

I wonder how it would be recreated...? Hmmm.

[flayn is from a world where there aren't ingredient lists on packaging, so she goes to the sink to wash off her finger, then goes looking for chocolate and milk to get started on trying to make something that matches it.]

[slobjection]

So you're aiming to do it based off of looks and touch alone? I wish you luck.

[ she's really committed to this. ]

[fishingforcompliments]

It will be an interesting challenge!

[she's gonna fail hardcore.]

[slobjection]

I look forward to what you produce.

[ he shouldn't. ]

[fishingforcompliments]

[he really shouldn't



but she nods and gets to work! the first attempt is, uh, an unappetizing mixture of melted (and slightly burnt, somehow) chocolate with milk. it's entirely too soupy looking to be right...]

It needs something to thicken it...

[slobjection]

[ wow it's already burnt....... how did she manage that. ]

Hm.... looks more like chocolate soup, right now.

[fishingforcompliments]

...that it does.

[time to dump it out, wash out the bowl, and start over]

Where did I go wrong...?

[slobjection]

Hm.... well, I'm no expert, but you may need to use more than just a fingerful for a proper recreation.

[fishingforcompliments]

Even with just the fingerful, I can tell I got the consistency wrong...

[slobjection]

Take another look, then.

[fishingforcompliments]

Well - I know already that it needs to be thicker. But I am not certain what to add to achieve that.

[slobjection]

What do you normally use to thicken things?

[ he could check the ingredients but he's allergic to being directly helpful ]

[fishingforcompliments]

I do not know. I am not terribly skilled in the kitchen.
