“Please don't tell me they didn't let you have condiments at Evermore.”
“Okay.”
“Jean.”
“You said not to tell you.”
“How did you stand it? You went from France. France! To a place with no flavor at all.”
“I don't wish to talk about France.”
“That had to be a culture shock though.”
“I was happy to have food on my plate. At Evermore, food was there to provide nourishment, not as a source of pleasure. We sat, we ate, we went back out and practiced. The chefs ensured that we had a balanced diet and enough calories to handle the workload. Nothing more, nothing less.”

He nodded.
“Maybe we should have started with the mild and worked our way up to it,” Cat said.
