Chapter 109 - Chapter 109: Blood

Ian was disappointed in Lisa. He knew she was trying to pick on Mina by ordering blood stew. Most lower-class families did not eat such meals. After years of people becoming sick from bacteria linked to the dish, the government imposed a ban on all preparation of blood stew without first taking an expensive class on its safe preparation. Eventually, the ban also extended to common citizens who wanted to prepare the meal in their personal homes. Regardless if they had the skill, most people could not afford the license. As a result, blood stew became synonymous with wealth.
