Hello cool people and assholes, it's time for Round Two of Gideon's Food Reviews (part one, for the uninitiated, is located here). If you're not aware, I was born in a duct in the Ninth House and my life didn't get much better from there; the Ninth is well away from the sun and whatnot so most of my food I was exposed to was canned, preserved, pickled, powdered, or otherwise made into nutritional paste. So when I arrived in Vallo, I decided to make it my Mission to try as much food as possible. My opinions are my own, and they are correct, but feel free to be wrong in comments if you just can't contain yourself.

GIDEON'S COMPREHENSIVE AND ACCURATE LIST OF FOODSTUFFS - PART II because everything looks better with Roman Numerals

  • Bacon: Some people like to make their personality bacon, and while it isn't good enough for that, it is very good. I've discovered I like it lightly crispy (but not too crispy) and it's especially good with maple syrup drizzled over it. 8/10, very versatile.

  • Tater Tots: Potatoes for wee babies. I enjoy them, but they are sometimes soggy and that's no good. 6/10

  • Ahi Tuna: Yes, I tried this a second time. I like the accompaniments, wasabi is grand, rice is fine I guess if you're into rice, seaweed is more delicious than it sounds, but the cold meat on my tongue felt like going to third base with a corpse. 4/10

  • Chocolate Chips: A perfectly acceptable dinner, provided no one is about to yell at you. 8/10

  • Pancakes: Fucking yes. I like the ones with chocolate chips, which I have already established as Good. 9/10

  • Almonds: A "healthy" snack that I briefly tried to enjoy while I was on a diet that I will never again repeat because fuck that shit. Almonds are fine, if you're boring, but they're better when honey sesame'd or made spicy or their healthiness is otherwise destroyed. 4/10

  • Shrimp: All hail the sea bugs; love them with garlic and it's soothing to rip their little legs off. 8/10

  • Croissant: I pronounced this wrong and the lady behind the counter got all butthole-face about it. From now on, I declare that you simply must refer to them as "crescents". Very buttery, flaky, and yummy. Worth the judgment. 9/10

  • Vanya 100/10 heyooooo

  • Apple Pie: I don't know what the fuck America is but if there's these things are lining the window ledges there, I'll check it out. 9/10, 10/10 with good ice cream.

  • Greek Yogurt: Sure, but why??? 3/10

  • Avocado: How do you tell when they're ripe? I still don't know. 3/10 this is too hard.

  • Bagels: GLENN YOU WEIRD-ASS MOTHERFUCKER; YOU'RE MY FAVORITE DON'T LET THE ASSHOLES GET YOU DOWN 10/10

  • Pineapple on Pizza: People feel really strongly about this, which makes me think they need more of a personality. Pineapple on pizza is grand, I declare, you're just wrong. Oh, and add some bacon or ham or something too and you have yourself some MAGIC. 10/10

  • Jerky of Any Kind: Reminds me too much of a Great Aunt 4/10

  • Kabobs: I appreciate how extra these are. A mushroom? Yes, certainly. Bell peppers? Oh, excellent. Steak, why yes, kill that bovine. Onions? Caramelize me. 9/10

You're making words up Dan. I refuse to believe those are real things.

They're absolutely real. People get real creative with crescents.

I'm trying to imagine a taco in a croissant and it... seems to be texturally wrong, like two people who are all over each other but you just know that break up is going to end in tears, but you know, I'd try it anyway.

I think my concern would be the pastry's too sweet and too buttery to be filled with taco ingredients but maybe if it was more savory, it'd work. I'd definitely try it too though. Even if it gives off 'celebrity breakup' vibes.

Sure. At the end of the day, when has butter ever betrayed us?

Butter is an old and familiar friend. A comforting friend.

I'm glad I have you around to parse these things out with.

I'm glad to be around. You're loads better than nutritional paste, Dan.

Thank you. I think that's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me.

If you want to come over one day and appreciate pineapple on pizza with me too, that can also be a thing. I'd offer to make something but it's just so rare I find someone else who likes pineapple on pizza.

It's a date! Don't tell anyone else, but I think we're just further along the evolutionary chain that the pepperoni-or-bust ruffians.

I won't tell if you won't. But I also agree completely - pepperoni is just so boring. Live a little.

Now--- spicy pepperoni --- and pineapple - we might have ourselves a possibility.

Definite possibility. The pineapple is important because it adds the sweet to the savory which is a good combo. Always. Something people just don't understand.

There's probably an actual science to it; but I can't be arsed. I just wanna eat.

Just wanna eat is perfectly valid. Especially after so long with nutritional paste.

I didn't even know what I was missing, Dan. Past!Gideon... how I pity the beautiful fool.
