The feast of the banquet was quite tasty.
Alex was served a platter of whole-wheat flatbread that they referred to as Chapati.
Biting into the bread, Alex was astounded by the taste.
'It's chewy and has the right amount of fat...' Alex savored the Chapati alone but Ashoka whispered to him, "The Chapati also goes great with the side dishes."
Alex rubbed his head in embarrassment and Hermes laughed at him.
There were, in fact, many side dishes presented upon the table.
A lot of the people seemed to be vegetarians, so there were very few meat dishes, and the monks didn't eat too much either way.
Alex served upon his Chapati a cheesy stew that he didn't recognize.
As he tasted it, he was surprised at the taste.
It was a tomato puree that was entirely coated with this extremely rich and salty cheese. It tasted fresh and at the same time quite rich.
"Ashoka, what's this cheese?" Alex inquired, and he decided to drop the formalities.
