fandomhighFor today, Hannibal had handwavily advised everyone to wear comfortable clothes for walking in and meet at the causeway. He so rarely got to drive these days!
"Good afternoon," he greeted whomever had come to class. "We'll be driving to the mainland today, so if you will get in and put your seatbelts on, I'll explain as I drive."
Once they'd done that, he said, "Previously, we discussed some of the economics of food. Today we will gain some practical experience, as we observe and discuss the culture around producing food, rather than preparing it. I haven't made any food this week, but that doesn't mean there won't be anything to eat.We'll be working with an organization called Gather Baltimore.
"Local farmers bring their produce to a number of markets around the area; at the end of the day, what they don't sell often gets thrown out. This group takes that food and redistributes it to shelters and societies that feed the hungry. We're going to help them, and I also would like you to speak with the farmers and learn more about how the food is grown and how they make a living."
He looked over his passengers. "I encourage you to take advantage of the entire market. If you'd like to use this opportunity to purchase some food for yourselves, please do. Feel free to take advantage of my good nature and my wallet if necessary." He had at least one of those.
"Also, as next week is the last class, there will be a final project. Your task will be to make and bring in a food item that holds significance for you. A childhood favorite, a cultural keystone, something meaningful. And you should make it yourself if at all possible." Looking at you, Liliana.
He checked his watch. "I will be staying for at least an hour after we arrive. If you would like to leave earlier or stay later, you can always catch a portal."
