#Basil Box menu

[boredzillenial]

For your blurbs

How about Basil Stitt crushing on a Dasher/ delivery girl

As sweet or spicy as you are feeling. 🙈

Yes Chef! 🫡

Theme: Basil breaks down and orders pizza. A.N: Just a lil awkwardness and a few too many interruptions lol

Empty, completely fucking empty… Basil thought as he stared at the barren interior of his fridge. He went to grab a lone beer when his stomach growled, begging for anything more substantial.

Anxiety rippled through him at the thought of leaving his darkened apartment. I’m hideous, can’t let anyone see me like this… It’d only been a few days since “the incident” and he hadn’t left his place since. He paced for a moment before a pizza menu haphazardly tossed on the ground caught his eye. He shrugged and dialed the number as he slouched back on the couch.

“Gianni’s Pizza what’ll ya have?” Your curt voice had him shoot forward. His heart hammered in his chest at your voice. All at once memories of conversations came to his mind. It’d started as chit-chat, and through months of ordering you two had developed a rapport, even a bit of flirting.

Despite the clipped tone it still hit something inside him. “Hello?” You sighed on the other end, “Look if this is those stupid kids you’re not funny. Im hanging up-“

“No wait!” Basil blurted. “I - I need to place an order, for delivery.”

“Basil?” Your tone softened, “I’m so sorry, these fucking kids -“ you sighed. “You want your usual?”

He nodded. “Hello?” Your voice rang softly in the receiver.

“Sorry! Sorry yeah I guess Pepp-”

“Pepperoni half olives and cheesy bread.” Your voice seemed to lift a bit at the familiarity of the order.

He stopped for a moment, somewhat comforted that you actually remembered. “Ah actually, no olives. Cinnamon bread instead of cheesy.” His hand rubbed across the back of his neck as he paced across the hardwood.

“No? Catherine out of town again?” You asked so nonchalantly it nearly hurt.

“Catherine is, out. Yeah - no she chea-“ Basil stopped himself, you didn’t wanna hear about his personal life. Your gasp nearly made his heart stop.

“You’re joking! What a b-“ you stopped yourself. “It’ll be by in 10 alright? Just hang tight.” You hung up.

Basil crinkled his brow as he stared at the phone, you’d sounded like… like you cared.

The minutes passed faster than he thought possible as he fumbled for cash around his apartment. He figured he could just slip it under the door when you came. No one should see him like this.

A light but antsy knock sounded on the door. “Pizza. It’s me!” Your light voice muffled slightly by the thin door set his nerves alight.

“T-thanks.” Basil called from his side, pressing close and peeking through the peep-hole at your beautiful face.

Confusion etched into your features as you waited for the door to open. “Basil?”

“Oh right, here.” Shuffling sounded as two 20s awkwardly slipped under the front door. “Keep the change.”

“Basil I, I wanted to talk. Are you alright?” He could see you worry your bottom lip as you glanced along the empty hall.

“Fine! Ah, sick I don’t want you to catch it.” He stuffed his hands in his pockets as he watched you. Please please just leave. You couldn’t see him like this…

“Oh ah, feel better.” Sadness knitted your brow a moment before you set the pizza and bag of cinnamon bread on the ground. You went to say something but caught yourself. Instead putting your hand up to the door and signing softly.

Basil watched with his heart hammering away in his chest. Watched until he heard the elevator ding and was sure you’d left. When he opened the door the first this to surprise him is the money still sitting just on the other side, the second was some writing left on the box.

Your cell number along with a note,

Her loss, call me ;)

Apologies for the clunkiness I’m still getting back in the swing of writing between a new job and BG3 stealing me away (gettin all the kisses from my virtual husband Halsin 😘)

Hi, Heldig!

Can you please tell me what's popular at Mau's and her father's cafe? What's on the menu at their place? There's a cute chubby accountant there who really likes donuts :)

*blinks in puzzlement, being suddenly summoned to tumblr with a loud POOF* Huh? Someone rolled a natural 20?

Oh, hi, pumpkin! Tysm for the question (OMG you made a LackaOC??? Can’t wait to see them! ✨)

I don't want to make you sad, but Maura’s and Augusto’s eatery is small and their menu doesn’t have a huge range of positions. I can almost bet there were no donuts on the menu when they’ve just opened the eatery.

All due to the fact that there are only two workers: Augusto as the cook, and Mau as the waitress. All the other responsibilities, as cleaning, dishwashing, accounting and so forth, they share equally.

The menu, actually, is not a constant. The only thing that is always there is coffee and some basic chocolate bars that they just buy. Everything else varies depending on the seasonal supplies and Augusto’s mood & enthusiasm for the day. There can be some variations of fruitcakes, pies, sandwiches, pizza and salads, pasta of the week (they make it themselves) and soup of the day, ice cream (also handmade). Not all at once, just mainly you can see something like that on the menu for the day. The most popular thing is definitely their pasta in all its variations. Augusto is just too good at making it, so it is almost a crime not to order it.

And speaking of menus and crimes; God forbid a visitor asks Mau to cook them “something special”. She cooks well, but… it is always equal to picking a jelly bean from the Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans box. There’s always a chance to get something like infamous sugary pizza or salty coffee with basil. She likes… ugh… strange experiments sometimes. So even I can’t tell you what’ll be on the menu at the days when Augusto is under the weather or has some other business outside the eatery and Mau gets responsible for cookery.

Though after a while Mau can persuade her father to add donuts (and pancakes) to the menu or start to make them herself for some “special guests”. Especially if “the cute accountant” can help her to keep the books in order. She usually does the accounts herself, but hates it as such, so she would try her best to arrange that accounting-for-donuts barter. 😁

Schrödinger's Toy Box

I always found so interesting how difficult it is to find what happened exactly with the Toy Box.

The Toy Box segment is one of the ones that simultaneously excited and annoyed me the most because it's so teased by the game but in the end it's very puzzling. I'm mostly gonna talk about what happened to it and not so much about it's meaning.

We first time we learn about the toy box is in the Lost Library. The area is associated with memories and Basil of course. From it's existence as a library as Basil loved reading books and recommended books to Sunny when they were kids to also having both Stranger and HS! Basil making an appearance in the library. But it's mostly were memories are kept which makes as to why this where we first see it.

We get it again way later in the real world, in a scene that has always intrigued me.

When Sunny finds the picture and he sees the back of it he quickly takes the key and hides it in his pocket so no one of his friends sees it. Nobody seems to have noticed the back of the picture and Sunny puts it in the photo album where nobody will ever see the back of it again.

And lastly we see it in the last dream segment, when we enter Sunny's house and then open the said Toy Box to find the broken violin and sheet music to later play it.

Now, this photo and key are fascinating, because they seem to tell us something.

This photo was clearly left in the tree house 4 years ago. It's all weirdly discoloured because of the elements. It's pretty clear that only Sunny or Basil could've left it here.

What's so confusing is how and when exactly did it end up there.

The Toy Box was already in the backyard when the incident happened. This is proven by the photos of Basil and Sunny opening the glass door and the following photo of Sunny looking at his favourite tree.

You can see it already in the right.

Now I thought the Jump Rope could've been taken from there but the description for the photo of the rope seems to state it was already on the ground.

Photo of a Rope - You hear pacing, the crunching of the grass sifting back and forth. You think you see a figure pick something off the ground, but you’re not sure. You keep staring at the leaves overhead. Everything will be okay... You think... Everything will be okay.

Then we later see it next to Mari's hanging body, now on the opposite side of the tree. Basil most likely used it to get Mari's body up and it'll probably be used as to make it look like Mari jumped from there. This seems to be backed up by the description of the picture of Basil tying the rope. The box most likely creaked when Basil stood on it with Mari's body.

Photo of Hands - You hear shuffling. You hear dragging... and creaking... and pulling. Something is happening, but you refuse to look away from the leaves. Your head feels fuzzy again. You bite your tongue and attempt to wake up one last time, but it’s no use... You’re still here.

And then we never hear about it again. From the description of Sunny's POV it seems Basil did the hanging and afterwards held Sunny's hand and that was it. They looked back at Mari and got scared. Basil couldn't be holding it too because he was holding hands with Sunny.

So whatever was done or put in the Toy Box could only have been done after the whole incident and cover up... But it's curious siince you would assume putting the violin in there would be part of the cover up so why is it not alluded to in the truth sequence?

The violin had to go somewhere and it doesn't seem to be something Sunny imagined since the photo is found in the Real World.... except... Wait, the key doesn't show in your menu in the Real World? But it has an item ID different from the key we use in the Dream segment, even if unused, which makes me think it might've been supposed to appear on the game menu after all?

If it's not an actual thing and it was only Sunny's imagination even in the Real World it gets a bit weird how much emphasis there was on it. The photo is real as Sunny's friends saw it so only the back of it would be imagined and that doesn't seem very likely. The closet is real (Kel talks about it) and Sunny sure does seem to want to forget it exists and he'd rather go where Mari was hung than there so again the Toy Box was most likely really used to hide the violin. You can always justify the key not appearing in your pocket in the Real World as Sunny refusing to look at it. It's plausible since Sunny wants to hide it so damn much or the developers forgetting to add it in that's always a possibility

If it's real then it would mean someone went back there just to hide the violin. That would be most likely Basil as

Sunny was a bit out of it... Well they both were but Sunny was mind turned off out of it so only Basil seemed mentally capable to do that

It's Basil who probably had the photo as it's from his photo album. He put the photo in the tree house, wrote on the back only for Sunny to know and taped the key. It wasn't even the first photo he used tape on.

The thing is again: Basil had to go back. Oh my gods. Imagine hanging a corpse then going inside and then having to go back because you need to hide more evidence. Now I see some logic as to why Basil would hide it in there, even if stupid. He probably thought that putting it there would mean nobody would find it because after it being associated with Mari's "suicide" his parents would want to throw it out or something. At the bare minimum it wouldn't just be in the floor at the bottom of the stairs. Of course we know Sunny's parents most likely knew the truth in the end and didn't tell anyone so it didn't actually work but I can't blame a 12 year old for not knowing how to cover up a murder.

But saying all this it meant Basil

Went to retrieve the Violin at the bottom of the stairs

Got the key

Went outside where Mari was

Opened the box and put the violin there (with Mari directly next to him 🙃)

Closed it with the key

Went back again to get the photo, write on it and tape they key and show it to Sunny, because Sunny knew about it well enough to remeber it in Headspace

Went outside for the third time, this time directly to the tree house, taping the photo to the tree house wall

This is seems so hellish that I have difficulty imagining Basil doing all that when he himself was terrified of the situation. Going back to the scene two times more? That's awful. And I have unfortunately very little to go on to make this time line so it's mostly speculation from my part.

And it's pretty clear it's the same Toy Box in the black photo album and dream sequence.

It doesn't seem believable that it was done days after the day of the incident so this is the only string of events that seem to be possible.

I have an impression the developers really wanted to add it in but they really didn't think of it that much? We know the idea of hiding something in a box was present already in the game's demo, so it has been in consideration for a long time, even if ended up being different in the end.

However I'd say the execution in the final game is kinda weird..

For something with so much emphasis it ended up not making a lot of sense in the whole story. From a metaphorical standpoint it works just fine but from an actual linear story it's a bit confusing.

Toy Box is in Sunny's backyard → Basil uses it to hang Mari → Might've been used to hide the violin and the sheet music??? Not completely clear??? Not sure how or it if happened at all??? → a photograph with the key from said Toy Box is taped to the Tree House?? → the Toy Box is put in the closet????? Was it really? Where the parents who put it there?? → four years later Sunny is still terrified of going into the closet

In conclusion: Can a developer please explain what the heck happened with this damn Toy Box. This is not even an analysis at this point I'm just begging for an explanation.

BAO is set to mark its 10th anniversary, celebrating a decade of Taiwanese-inspired innovation in London’s culinary landscape. Founded by Shing Tat Chung, Erchen Chang and Wai Ting Chung, BAO began as a humble street food venture, operating with nothing more than a cool box and a steamer. Over the years, it has grown into a renowned restaurant brand, famed for its cult-status Taiwanese steamed buns and xiao chi plates, influencing London’s perception of Taiwanese cuisine.

To honor this milestone, guests can enjoy BAO’s classic steamed buns at their original street food stall price starting June 10 for a month. Guests can indulge in beloved fillings like braised pork belly, beef short rib and vegan daikon, all folded into BAO’s pillowy-soft buns, delivering a nostalgic yet celebratory experience. Meanwhile, the restaurant is also unveiling a brand-new menu, introducing an entire section dedicated to Taiwanese fried chicken, featuring charcoal-finished fried chicken steak — a UK-first. Guests can personalize their dish with a house BBQ glaze dusted with garlic chili powder or a chili lime pour with shredded cabbage, alongside sticky Peking caramel wings and nuggets paired with Sichuan mayo, hot sauce, basil ranch, or yushiang for dipping.

Beyond its savory selections, BAO is debuting the BAONUT, a decadent fusion of fluffy BAO and crispy Taiwanese donut, offering a unique twist on classic indulgence. Other exciting additions include a new calamari BAO, dry beef noodles infused with rich bone marrow, and a summer salad topped with juicy grilled chicken. The refreshing lineup of bubble teas introduces an aromatic mango and salted coconut flavor, expanding BAO’s beverage offerings.

Reflecting on the journey, Shing Tat Chung shared, “We started BAO with no expectations – just three young creatives with a passion for food and design. We could not have imagined the journey that would come over the next decade.” Co-founder Erchen Chang added, “We’re grateful to every single one of our guests and team members from over the years and excited to celebrate our 10th birthday in style. Having recently been back to Taiwan, we’re mixing up our menu for the first time, adding some new additions inspired by our trip. We can’t wait to welcome BAO fans both old and new over the next month.”

The anniversary celebrations will culminate in the Battle of the BAO, where alumni and current BAO chefs will compete for a spot on the new permanent menu. Hosted in collaboration with premium rewards card Yonder, the event promises a showcase of creativity and culinary expertise. BAO’s new menu and special £3.50 GBP (approx. $5 USD) pricing will officially launch on June 10 with the celebratory offer available across all locations until July 10, 2025.

Satisfying Palates and Wallets: A Guide to Corporate Catering Menu Ideas

Feeding a team is no easy task. With varied taste buds, dietary restrictions, and of course, the pressing need to stick to a budget, finding a corporate catering menu that ticks all the boxes can be challenging.

But don’t fret; whether you’re setting up for a corporate luncheon, a team-building session, or a high-stakes board meeting, a savory spread doesn’t have to break the bank. In this blog post, we’ll explore five scrumptious and wallet-friendly corporate catering menu ideas that your team will love. Let’s take a look, shall we?

1. Going Global: A World Cuisine Spread

Bringing global flavors into your corporate meetings is a splendid way to transport your team across continents without leaving the conference room. A corporate catering menu inspired by world cuisines offers a rich palette of flavors.

Italy’s allure: Kickstart the international journey with creamy Alfredo pasta, savory lasagnas, and crispy bruschettas. Perhaps even a Margherita pizza for that unmistakable Italian touch.

Thai temptations: No one can resist the aromatic flavors of Thai green curry or Pad Thai. Paired with some fragrant jasmine rice, it becomes an instant favorite.

Mexican fiesta: Dive into a platter of spicy tacos, bean-filled burritos, and zesty guacamole. Maybe even have a side of nachos with cheese dip for some crunchy delight.

Indian odyssey: The richness of butter chicken, the spice of biryanis, and the tanginess of tandoori dishes are perfect to glimpse India’s diverse cuisine. Serve with fluffy naan or fragrant basmati rice.

Japanese joys: Sushi rolls, edamame, and tempura can be delightful additions. A platter of assorted sushi with wasabi and pickled ginger can be a refreshing palette cleanser.

2. Comfort Cravings: Homestyle Cooking

There’s a unique warmth in comfort food. It’s reminiscent of family gatherings, childhood memories, and familiar kitchens. Crafting a corporate catering menu with these homestyle dishes can make everyone feel right at home.

American staples: Creamy mac ’n’ cheese is a must, along with succulent meatloaf and soft mashed potatoes. Throw in some grilled cheese sandwiches and watch them disappear in seconds.

Soup for the soul: Tomato basil soup or chunky chicken noodle soup can be just what one needs to warm up. Serve with a side of crunchy croutons or a bread roll.

Classic sides: Coleslaw, green bean almandine, and cornbread can add depth to your spread. These sides are not only delicious but also offer comfort in every bite.

Delectable desserts: What’s comfort without some sweet endings? Apple pies with a hint of cinnamon, freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, or even banana bread can wrap up the meal on a sweet note.

3. Healthy & Hearty: A Nutritious Spread

A well-balanced, nutritious meal can keep energy levels high and ensure productivity throughout the day. While it’s crucial to keep it healthy, the flavors shouldn’t be compromised.

Salads galore: From quinoa and roasted beet salad to a classic Caesar, offering a variety that can cater to different tastes. Add in a protein punch with grilled chicken strips or tofu chunks.

Lean proteins: Grilled fish, turkey meatballs, or tofu steaks can be both nutritious and flavorsome. Pair them with brown rice or whole grain rolls for added nutrition.

Vibrant veggies: Think roasted Brussels sprouts with a hint of balsamic, steamed asparagus with lemon zest, or stir-fried colorful bell peppers. The more colorful the spread, the more appealing it becomes.

Refreshing desserts: Instead of heavy cakes or pies, opt for yogurt parfaits with fresh berries, fruit salads drizzled with honey, or even chia seed pudding for that added omega-3 boost.

With these expanded sections, your corporate catering menu can be an absolute hit, offering a range of delicious options for everyone to relish.

4. Local Love: A Farm-to-Table Experience

Tapping into the essence of your local community is a fabulous way to celebrate the produce and talent right at your doorstep. A corporate catering menu focused on locally sourced ingredients not only boosts local businesses but provides an unparalleled freshness that’s hard to beat.

Morning freshness: Kick off with breakfast items sourced fresh from local farms. Think of scrambled eggs from free-range chickens, artisanal bread from the local bakery, and fresh berry jams made by local artisans.

Main course delights: Roast dishes are perfect to highlight the quality of local produce. Roasted chicken from the local farm, garnished with herbs from the community garden, or a vegetable casserole using fresh, seasonal veggies can steal the show.

Cheese & charcuterie: What’s a farm-to-table spread without some fine cheese? Source local cheeses, cured meats, and even local olives or pickles for a delightful charcuterie board.

Dessert delicacies: Feature seasonal fruits in pies and tarts. Fresh apple pie in the fall, berry tarts in the summer, or pumpkin pies in the winter can offer a taste of the season in each bite.

5. Vegan & Vibrant: Plant-Powered Plates

With the surge in veganism and more people being conscious of plant-based diets, it’s essential to have a spread that doesn’t just cater to this group but impresses them. A corporate catering menu that offers innovative vegan dishes can add a dash of vibrancy to the table.

Appetizers to begin: Start with vegan spring rolls filled with crisp vegetables, or vegan bruschettas topped with tomato and basil. Perhaps, even include a vegan ceviche using jackfruit or coconut.

Heartwarming entrees: Vegan doesn’t mean just salads. Think of creamy mushroom risottos, stuffed bell peppers with quinoa and veggies, or even a spicy vegan curry with chickpeas and spinach.

Plant-powered sides: Offer sides like roasted vegetable medleys sprinkled with nutritional yeast, or mashed sweet potatoes seasoned with vegan butter and herbs.

Desserts to die for: Vegan desserts have come a long way. Offer decadent vegan chocolate mousse, dairy-free berry cheesecake, or even vegan ice creams with toppings like caramelized nuts or fruit compotes.

[thebasilbuffet]

Welcome to the one... The only....

This is the Basil Buffet menu, an entirely fictional restaurant inspired by the fact that so many foods are associated with Headspace Basil according to the OMORI fandom. Feel free to give a food suggestion if you think it fits Basil, all you gotta do is hit the ask box! This is a casual place to relax, so that means I'm going to relax too and not pressure myself to post all the time lol. Oh, and let's turn on some music to fit the atmosphere.

(Music is from the OMORI OST I didn't make it myself but I can make a cover of it for the restaurant when I have free time?)

So, with that out of the way, what can I get you?
