The Torchwood Drabble Files

by badly-knitted

A collection of Torchwood drabbles that continues to grow. Thanks to everyone who's making this possible. You're greatly appreciated, so I'm reinstating an old game - the writer of every 100th review gets to request a drabble/ficlet of their choice. Still using a T rating to cover anything I might write, just to be safe.

185. Weirdest Foods

Title: Weirdest Foods

Author: badly-knitted

Characters: Gwen, Owen, Tosh, Ianto, Jack

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 299 – Green Eggs and Ham at tw100

Spoilers: None.

Summary: "What's the weirdest thing you've eaten?"

Disclaimer: I don't own Torchwood, or the characters.

A/N: This is probably my last drabble the current challenge. Unless inspiration happens to strike again or we don't get a new prompt this week.

Guest (Lol): Ianto's always had a quick mind and he knows how to get the best deal possible, so yeah, I agree. ;)

Meirionwen: Actually, in my head they look nothing like dogs - basically humanoid (one head, two arms, two legs), but short and squat, quite wide, completely bald, three round eyes each, no nose, light purple skin, wearing little silver spacesuits with bubble helmets and big boots. Couldn't fit the description in the drabble though, lol! I usualy have a pretty detailed description of the aliens I invent even when I don't use it in the story. Maybe they'll return someday.

I love Janto: Ianto knows how to trade with aliens and get the best deal while making sure everyone feels they've got a real bargain ;)

The sapphires will be sold by Torchwood (maybe the queen will buy them, who knows), Ianto will get his money back and a nice bonus and Jack will probably allow everyone to requisition some new equipment (toys) for their departments. They might get a little extra in their paypackets too, because Ianto is generous. Hopefully the aliens will return sometime and trade more gems for dog biscuits, lol!

Gwen had suggested another team bonding game.

"What's the weirdest thing you've ever eaten? I've tried octopus. It was… rubbery."

"I've had Rocky Mountain Oysters," admitted Owen.

"What's odd about oysters?" Gwen wondered.

"They're not actual oysters, they're deep fried bull testicles."

"Oh. YUK!"

Owen sniggered.

"Tosh?"

"Roasted tarantula. It was good, quite crispy. What about you, Ianto?"

"Alligator. Tastes like chicken. Oh, and Witchetty Grubs."

Looking disgusted, Gwen turned to Jack.

"I'm almost afraid to ask!"

"Dinosaur. No idea what kind though, they were pretty much pre-cooked after the asteroid hit."

Ianto rolled his eyes.

"Should've guessed you'd win!"
