[They'd talked about it forever ago, but now it's time! So in his casual threads, Yosuke finds himself knocking on the door of one Edward Elric, hoping he picked a good time since they never actually set one]

Hey, Ed! You in there?

Didn't I ever tell you about Mystery Food X?

[He's all set to share the story of one of the darkest, most horrifying moments of his life when he's handed a tomato and a knife, looking almost blankly at them. EDWARD, WHAT IS THIS? HAVEN'T YOU HEARD OF MODERN CONVENIENVE?! THIS SHIT IS STONE AGE LEVEL]

Wait, we're not using pre-made sauce?

[unexculpable]

[He nods.]

You mentioned it at prom.

[And Ed is like almost done peeling this tomato what is your problem Yosuke???

He pauses, giving Yosuke a sidelong glance.]

No, we're not using pre-made sauce. [he gestures back to the tomato] So start peeling.

[princeofjunes]

[He looks down at the tomato, sighing before starting to peel very slowly and carefully. Look Ed he's never peeled before and he's not exactly keen on the idea of slicing his finger open]

I'm just saying, stuff exists for a reason. Convenience and all that!

[unexculpable]

It conveniently tastes like crap, too.

[princeofjunes]

Jeez, I didn't realize you're Mister Five Star Cuisine over here...

[He's grumbling, but he's peeling. It's slow going, but he finishes peeling one after a few minutes and actually looks a little proud of himself! He knew those girls were making a big deal out of nothing. Cooking's easy!]

[unexculpable]

I'm not.

[a laughs.]

Like I said, some standards you've got there.

[Oh you're done with that one? HERE. PEEL ANOTHER ONE.]

We only need a couple more.

[princeofjunes]

[He starts peeling another, going slightly quicker on this one]

You say that now, but one day you'll try instant ramen - ooh, wait, instant udon! Just one bowl and you'll be a believer.

[unexculpable]

... Instant ramen?

[Have a completely bewildered look, Yosuke. wtf are you even talking about. :|]

[princeofjunes]

... oh my god you've never had instant ramen.

Ed!

It's one of life's fundamental experiences!

[unexculpable]

You're joking, right?

[princeofjunes]

Hey.

No knocking it until you try it. The next time I get some, you're chowing down so you're life is a little more complete.

[unexculpable]

Yeah, I think I'll pass on that. Thanks though.

[princeofjunes]

Hey, you're not getting a choice! I'm trying to share some culture with you!

[unexculpable]

Where are you from again?

[princeofjunes]

An island nation called Japan.

[unexculpable]

That's... south of Asia, right?

[And people say he doesn't pay attention in class. :|]

[princeofjunes]

Yeah, though we're still considered a part of Asia.
