In a timely fashion, the first item that Marcus and Lyra ordered arrived.
"I've never seen any of these before." Marcus said, examining the contents of the salad that had been brought out to them.
A dark purple leafy vegetable of some kind made up the base, and there were several different types of mushrooms, tuber type vegetables, and some sort ow mellow fruit with grey flesh.
Every single one of these ingredients was new to both Marcus and Lyra. And as he had delved into cooking since coming to this world, Marcus was interested in learning about the vast treasure trove of previously unknown items available to him.
'Woah! Didn't expect that.'
The moment Marcus brought one of the firm pieces of the leafy purple vegetable into his mouth, it began to melt.
It had seemed firm and similar to uncooked cabbage at first, but it was clearly vastly different.
The taste was also less bitter and had a sourness to it as it dissolved from the heat and saliva in Marcus's mouth.
