"Tholomyes is something of a Spaniard" bc 'Tolouse and Tolosa are cousins' (Tolosa is on the Basque Country, north of Spain) but then says it's a Gallega song (from galicia, another autonomous community from the North) and the song says "I'm from badajoz" which is in Extremadura, west & south of Spain.

Hello, and happy Blorbo blusday!! I'm well *checks clock* 1h late gasp! As an excuse I can only say that today I have been packing and I forgot it was Thursday. (As usual I am @writeblr-of-my-own) ANYWAYS. For today's question, I'd like to know about food preference and cooking skills of your blorbo(es)! What can they cook, what they like to eat, whether they are good in the kitchen, or better away from it and close to a fire extinguisher!

Happy very late blorbo blursday!

I haven't really thought about what my characters' favourite foods are. Idk why I never did that.

I don't feel like a single WIP would be enough to make a good answer, so I'm doing a general overview of all 3 (god this is gonna be a mess...)

A lot of my ocs are rich kids who, until relatively late in their lives, never had to touch a kitchen. Everyone at the circus kinda helps out, but Johann and Diedrich still suck at cooking bc they had servants to take care of it, growing up. Jack, while technically not a rich kid, had never even seen a kitchen until he was 17 on account of living in the realm of the Goddess of Time his whole life and therefore not really needing to eat. Veta was living a life of Wealth And Priviledge(TM) until she discovered that Capitalism Is Bad in college - she started living with her then-boyfriend Vi and became pretty alright at cooking. And Alexis only lest said life of Wealth And Priviledge(TM) at around 40 years old so I don't think they'd do really well.

Now, for characters who are good in the kitchen! Seth is 100% the best cook among them all - he even grows his own produce sometimes, so you know it's gonna be tasty af. August and Hugo can both cook, but only Hugo cooks well. And Cristover already helped his Found Family with cooking, but he only started cooking full meals on his own when he briefly worked as a slave (don't worry about that) for Nester - he doesn't cook every day, but sometimes he does.

And now for a kind of miscellaneous answers:

B&W is set between 1874 and 1912 but, if it was set today, Markov would eat instant noodles and microwave lasagna almost every day. It was removed from the story in the second draft, but Reyna has a Thing for crèpes. Viktor (Veo's twin brother) is one of those extravagant cooks who just kinda wings it and yeets spices into the pan until it Feels Right (I fully support this btw), not that the Smoke Market district has that many spices available.

That's it, I think. I hope you enjoyed this answer!
