Rice? No, no, I wouldn't... know how to cook a rice dish, I don't think. [rice is not something available to the Springtide, it required too much land for them to cultivate effectively below ground. Everett has had plenty while traveling the above world, but never as something he made for himself. It didn't even occur to him to seek out, if it was available in Aefenglom.]

My people rarely have any grains. Difficult to grow, beneath ground. I feel quite spoiled to have bakery nearby. [and he had a habit now of getting bread to keep about the cottage, thinking it a nice treat]
