[Video] Week 15 | Day 3

[Palmer didn't make video entries onto the network mainly because she was pretty paranoid and didn't trust that COMPASS wasn't tracking their entries and content in some way. But for today at least, it was a fairly innocuous topic of conversation and one that she didn't care if COMPASS overheard. When the video feed clicked on, it revealed the unmasked face of the armor-clad super-soldier.]

Well now, isn't it nice of our captors to provide us with so many potential provisions? If you don't mind fighting off all manner of jungle creatures, there's definitely some bounty to be found. I've bagged some of those giant snakes and now I'm thinking it would probably feed a fair amount of people for a while if it was preserved in some way. I know back in more primitive times people would smoke meat in order to preserve it. Unfortunately, we don't do a lot of that where I come from. So I'm hoping someone knows how to do this. And if they're willing to help me out in this I'll split the supplies fifty-fifty with them.

[The Spartan twisted the video feed around abruptly to show the neatly drawn and quartered snake carcasses.] The meat isn't bad grilled but that won't keep for very long and I understand COMPASS sometimes likes to cut off our food supplies here so I figure it can't hurt.

[Palmer brought the viewfinder back so it was centered on her face once more.] Anyone interested in this venture with me? I'll hunt, you teach me how to cook it up and we'll all benefit.

'Primitive'? How do people in your time preserve food?

It is not hard. Salt would make it easier. You will also need to cut your meat much thinner, and find wood that will burn well.

[personal profile] bastard_kenway 2014-02-23 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
How much can you find? It helps with flavor, and it keeps the little plants and animals from growing in the meat.

There are other spices that can be added to improve taste. Is there any chance you have seen spices?

[ Nikolai does not look impressed. What are you calling primitive, Sarah? ]

Do you mean to tell me you don't even smoke fish? You'd never survive at sea. Remind me of this moment if I ever offer to take you sailing, Commander.

[ He'd better be. ]

Well, how would you preserve herring in space? [ Do you just excessively salt everything or... ] That seems like a useful skill regardless of why you're storing it.

By the way, you'll need saltwater brine and something on which you can burn wood. You might be able to turn one of the classrooms into something like a smokehouse, if you're lucky.

Surely there must be some better alternative than eating snakes. Have you gotten that desperate already? I refuse to consider it until I'm starting and without any other recourse.

[ He can't find grilled snake or snake of any kind appetizing. Whatever happened to those cans of corn that were stored in the dormitory?

Actually, those were foul as well. Maybe he should reconsider snake as an option. ]


The kind of animals here are suspiciously sparse except for the last few days. I am surprised no one has investigated what had been killing them all off before.

I haven't gone hungry because I know how to hunt if I need to. However, my land has more options than poisonous frogs and snakes. Even I am not hungry enough to consider either.

[ ...yet anyway. He's not sure how long he'll last before her words do become agreeable to him. ]

And there are few areas that don't have some sort of animal that could be harvested for meat, especially given the temperature and the fertility of the area around us. Even more so now that there is a tropical atmosphere. It's an ideal ground for certain animals to thrive in, yet they are absent.

I'd like to offer my assistance, if still necessary. What other creatures have you seen that might serve as food later on?

Ah, of course. Aposematic patterns to warn of lethality — to be expected. I suppose it's to be expected, in this new climate.

Is eating a snake a good idea? What if you eat a part that's poisonous? I bet you'd get a lot worse than just food poisoning.

[personal profile] repairboy 2014-02-24 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
What's it taste like? [Consider him curious. Hey, if it doesn't kill you, he's willing to give it a try.]

If you haven't found someone yet, I know how to smoke food. I also keep a few herbs in my pouches that might improve the flavor.

Of course. Is there somewhere you'd like to meet up so I can show you? If nothing else, I may be able to improve the flavor.
