Spacegypsy1
Synopsis: Try out some of Teal'c's delicacies, you'll like them. And don't feel sorry for T, his team would never let him down!
A/N: For Mrs.Pollifax, in a yang for a yin sort of way. And for childofspacegypsy1, for the stickers that had me laughing so hard I couldn't help but write something funny! Also, I used to have a food addition, I believe this has solved that problem.

"What is this?" Daniel eyed the gelatinous blob on the table.
"It is a Chulak delicacy. Try it." The eyebrow that rose held a challenge.
"What's in it? It's all grainy and…and beige."
Teal'c didn't answer as his mouth turned down in a frown.
"You try it, Vala. You're used to all types of food." Using the back of a plastic spoon, Daniel pushed at the blob.
"I tried the green one." Her eyes twitched and blinked and she grimaced horribly.
"Yeah. Right." Swallowing loudly, Daniel plopped a hunk of the gelatin on his plate, right next to the thing that resembled an eyeball with hairy legs…and still alive.
The Jaffa frown turned upside down into a smile. "Good. ValaMalDoran, you must try the Hiv'taki. It is similar to chocolate, but more meaty." Indicating the next dish, Teal'c turned to Vala.
"Chocolate? Now, chocolate I like." She stabbed a piece of the red knobby food and placed it on Daniel's plate. "What?" Looking innocently at Daniel, she licked the fork unconsciously. A cacophony of gasps and coughing followed. "It's a bit… It's a bit…a bit, hot. And, quite possibly made of glass shards!" Seeing the disappointment in Teal'c's eyes, Vala grinned- somewhat robotic. "Well, Muscles, I did catch a small chocolaty kind of tang there. You're right. It is like chocolate." She turned away quickly and wiped her tongue with a napkin.
"DanielJackson, you have not yet tasted anything on your plate."
His sigh sounded remarkably like a deflating tire. Daniel opted for the beige in lieu of the eyeball. Bravely, he took a healthy bite. "Ohmm, ahmm, good. Really. Not bad."
"O'Neill?"
Jack had tried to slip past the table. "Yeah, hey, T. I'm not really hungry, so I'll just drink the beer."
The minute Teal'c had turned his attention from Daniel, the archeologist spit the nasty goop he'd actually put in his mouth back onto his plate. He could have sworn the eyeball blinked.
"I have prepared the Mul'cak especially for you, O'Neill."
Beer spewed. "Mule Cake?"
"Indeed. Ishta introduced the desert to me. It is her grandmother's recipe." Teal'c sliced a piece off of the blue circle and placed it on a plate which he handed to Jack.
"Really, T. I couldn't eat a thing." Jack stared at the thick blue substance on his plate.
"Sir?" Carter appeared at his side. Her grin was electric and her eyes wide and innocent. "I've tried it. Trust me. It's good." Taking a crumb from the cake, she popped it in her mouth and wandered off – towards the bathroom.
The eyeball was still staring at Daniel. Vala was inspecting the pile of wilted multi-colored 'lettuce' with the heap of slimy clear discs in the middle.
"Holy jumpin' Jesus!" Mitchell dropped his plate onto the floor and quickly downed an entire bottle of beer. "What is that stuff? It's like a lit firecracker stuffed with brains!"
"Crav'dolk, a Jaffa breakfast sausage. You did not like it ColonelMitchell?"
"Aw, man, are you kiddin'? It was so damned good I couldn't even think straight. Yep, love it." Cam coughed and went for another beer.
"Well, Muscles, you're housewarming party is a success! You should consider doing catering on the side. You know, weddings and such. Daniel? Where are you? Daniel? Did you taste the little eyeball thingies? Daniel?"
