Trouble is, without a subject the conversation just sort of trails off...

What's your favourite food?

Speaking in parables! Well, I love natural foods but a pepper soup of goat or cow meat with separately served white rice is my favorite. What about you?

Parables; you are kind. Certainly I am long-winded when I write on this platform. Mostly. I think it is the spectre of endless posterity.

I also love natural foods! Eating an orange from a friend's tree the other day I sat and thought: "I care not for heaven; give me only fresh fruit!"

Few things spark my joy like eating something straight from the tree like that. Mass-production of food is dominant. In the case of vegetables and fruit, what is available is generally good-looking but flavourless.

These pepper soups you speak of send my imagination reeling! How I would love to try. It would be incredibly delicious and rejuvenating, I think.
