Drabble – Food – 100 Words
All was going well till the food arrived. Alexander took one big bite: steam came out of nostrils, sweat immediately beaded his forehead and his tongue became a giant sponge of hot spices.
Not chewing, Alexander held the food in his mouth, afraid to swallow for fear he would start a fire inside himself.

Many mouthfuls of bread and drink later, Alexander's eyes finally quit watering.
