It came to Bonnie's attention recently, while she was helping supply pie for Life Support, that some folks around here are short of food.

So, today, she has set up a table on one side of the bar, with another large baking of pies, plus some of her spare apples, and some jars of jams and pickles. She carefully covers the pies to stop any errant flies buzzing over them.

She sets up a sign behind the table.

'HARVEST FESTIVAL

Are you a keen gardener who would like to trade one food for another?

Do you have a lot of spare food that will otherwise go to waste?

Are you someone who just needs no excuse to bake?

BRING YOUR EXTRA FOOD HERE
TAKE WHAT YOU NEED

Trade crops and avoid waste. If you are hungry, if you are short of food, please, help yourself. No eligibility questions asked. Any spare food at the end will be given to the bar to be distributed later to those who are hungry.

Suggested items: Fruit and veg, baked goods, dried goods, canned goods
Please no: Out of date food, foods that need to be kept hot or cold, items inedible to humans (or at very least please label as such), magic prank food, blood products or products made from humans, medicines, junk.'

There are takeaway boxes and bowls and spoons provided.

"You can't trade it for something other people grow?" Dr. Lecter suggests. "Or is it like the typical plague of zucchini?"

"Not always, same fruit tends to grow in the same area."

"Plague of zucchini type, then," Hannibal nods.

"I suppose- though zucchini are fairly unique in that they just get bigger and bigger." Bonnie says.

"So in the end, people don't know what to do with the huge amounts they yield, and dump them anonymously on unsuspecting recipients," Dr. Lecter says, smiling.

"Hah, yes, I suppose so." Bonnie agrees.

"I have heard anecdotes of people finding unlabelled baskets of mighty courgettes on their verandas in the morning," Dr. Lecter says, smiling. "It never happened to me, but I would make champagne soup."

Re: Food Donations

[is_the_motion]

"Champagne soup?" Bonnie asks. "With actual champagne?"

Re: Food Donations

[cook_the_rude]

"A little," Dr. Lecter says. "Mostly zucchini, though. And some creme fraiche."

"Well next time I got a rogue marrow I'll be sure to let you know."

[ooc: Fade? Thanks for the thread]

"Thank you," Dr. Lecter says, nodding to her before going to fetch more of his mason jars.


[[OOC: Thank you, too!]]
