I've tasted enough military rations and dried food for a damn life time, to be honest. [ If he never had to eat a vacuum packed or flash dried piece of food ever again it would be a happy day. In his world he'd been slowly picking up the bonuses of eating fresh fruit and all of that, and here...
Well, now it's just a buffet of new things. Might as well try while he can, right? ]
I mean.. it can be. [ A laugh. Sure, if you want to decorate your shoes with the inevitable sour gut from all that sugar at once. ]
Mostly I'm just sayin' I prefer cookie icing not even on the cookie. I just tended to put it right in my mouth...
And if these cities have their way, you might be tasting more...
[ not to be a total buzzkill, but the whole Olympia vs Wyver thing kinda reminds him of Taetrus vs Palaven. nothing good was likely to come of it, whatever the case might be. ]
But, I guess I'll give it a try...
[ so he takes one of those icing things, that's clearly for decorating or something, opens his mouth, revealing razor-sharp teeth (if anything, he might actually slightly resemble a dinosaur here), and squirts some in. he waits for a second...
before immediately looking around for water. ]
...It's too sweet!
[ sure he was expecting sweet but this was like... really sweet. really, he should've expected it but... ]
[ As much as he likes watching the pissing match between the two, it's getting a little old already. He's just come out of the same situation, kind of, just between Earth and Space, and the whole thing is becoming a really boring sitcom where the evil twin siblings are beginning to come out to play.
Over all : Lame as fuck.
There'd been some part of Duo that had thought that he wouldn't honestly shove the icing down like he'd been suggesting, but since Garrus went right ahead - Duo's face splits in pure joy at both the action and the reaction, eyes wide and grin even wider. ]
Hahaaaaa! [ he can't help himself, immediately making a bit of a scene with his loud laughter, doubling over but zealously not tipping the drink he's acquired like its his child. ]
[ Duo's still laughing, a hand on his stomach and about half buckled over. It's been a while since he's been able to pull something like that off - since his fellow pilots were on to him and his shenanigans and also .. not aliens. Finally he gathers himself up at least some, wiping at his eyes. ]
Well, at least one of us got a good laugh out of it.
Guessing you don't have much sugary stuff like that in your corner of the universe?
Dude it's cookie icing... I don't know a good cookie icing that isn't diabetes in a bag. [ In fact if the icing wasn't he wasn't even going to mess with it. Sweet things had been enough of a rare treat that he and the other children had gobbled them up like the starving street kids that they were. He remembered a few squabbles over cookies and candy, from time to time. ]
I dunno about amino acids in icing. [ A shrug. ]
Guess it's a little different eating stuff humans eat, huh?
The icing I'm used to is I think literally butter and powdered sugar.. or something like that. Probably what that stuff is at least if it got that strong of a reaction out of you. [ Also a possibility that he's just not a fan of sweet things. Duo doesn't really think about it - him and his iron stomach just eat whatever the hell is available at the time.
Though, hold on - there's a bit of a sour expression there, confused, then : ]
I heard it tasted like everything. And, it's apparently what you call someone who's scared to do things. So,I thought it'd be really interesting. As it was... it was just like eating any other kind of meat.
Yeah it's because chicken is the like.. blandest meat. [ Though he supposes not everyone would just assume that it's still funny as hell. Or at least his weird human brain finds it funny. Maybe Duo is the odd one after all.
Anyway - ]
I really like a good steak when I can get it. Which ain't very often so that explains a lot.
It's kinda good, though. If it's flavored right you can make chicken in to pretty much anything. My friend has a few guys who work for him who make the best damn curry I've ever experienced in my life out of it. [ He still prefers beef if he has a choice, but Duo is also the type of kid that knows what it's like to not be able to afford to be picky, so. He eats what he is offered without complaint like a good kid. ]
Okay that's fair but like... you can describe it and sorta compare to food stuff I would know, right?

Ha.... ha... Yeah. So funny.

only not actually, because, you know, he's not an asshole like that. ]
Well, we have sugary stuff, but I'm usually a little more prepared for it. Might be the slight difference in amino acids too.

Yeah. It's not that different, but it's definitely been something. Finally finding out what "chicken" was wasn't as exciting as I hoped it would be.
[ actually, if anything, it was downright disappointing. ]
