"Similar in flavour to an Earth Apple?" Donald commented, a slight grimace on his face as he looked at the Bolian sat with him. He wasn't quite sure as he took another bite of the... well, not so sure. It looked like a fruit, but had the texture of tender meat. It wasn't juicy, but it was... no moisture erupted against your tastebuds as you bit into it, yet you felt refreshed as you ate. The flavour, on the other hand, left a lot to be desired.
"To be sure, Sir, I am familiar with Earth delicacies." The Lieutenant replied smiling rather proudly, obviously mistaking Donald's facial expression for one of pleasant surprise and liking for the food.
Not that an apple is a delicacy... but there we are.... Donald thought to himself, unable to reply before his commbadge buzzed slightly as a voice from the bridge spoke through. =/\=Bridge to Captain McGriff. Sir, we have a communication coming through from Earth. Your daughter is requesting to speak with you before we depart.=/\=
The Retired Captain smiled internally, grateful for the interruption from eating the unknown... thing... before him and the Bolian Lieutenant. he reached up, tapping his commbadge. =/\="Understood, I'll take it in my quarters. McGriff out."=/\= He closed the link with communications, and inclined his head respectfully to the junior officer. "Apologies, Lieutenant. Family calls." With that, he made his way from the Mess Hall.
