Oh this gives me a idea...
Motoko tries Nomad Spaghetti
Motoko grumbled as she ate another one of Jun's awful burritos, after sorting out the stuff in Seattle she and Pannam ran into more Shivs. Now normally she wouldn't be grumbling too much, after all they were just Raffen were just XP bags with inbuilt delivery, however this time there was a issue.
A stray shoot had destroyed her rations. No, Her good rations! including the stuff she brought in Seattle!
Now here she was, eating what could only be described as barf flavoured mush wrapped in a soggy wrap that the manufactures say is bread.
she was certain it was half-way moulded carboard.
As she sighed, she smelt something, something she hadn't smelt in a while that made her stomach rumble.
Italian.
Turning to the truck, she saw Pannam using a cooking unit in the boot of the car, steering something in a small pot
"Pannam?"
"Yeah, Motoko?"
"What are you cooking?"
"A pasta ration that Scorpion made for me before I left, not one of my favourites but it isn't too bad really. Scorpion calls it a 'Nomad Special', I just think its ok."
Mokoto just looked at the steaming pot. "You know what? Do you want to do a ration swap? I'm getting tired of eating these burritos and the last Nomad special I had was that BBQ you invited me to, and that was great! So do you want to swap?"
The Nomad looked into the pot for a second before turning back to her. "Sure, why not." she said with a smile.
As Pannam came over and passed the still warm pot to her, she looked inside it. And in doing so she could feel her mouth start to water. Thick red tomato-y sauce covering thick noodles with what like small chunks of organic vegetables, smiling she passed two of Jun's folly's to Pannam as grabbed fork that she traded and took a bite.
"Ummmm~ this is good~."
"Thanks, I'll tell Scorp you like it.
"Do that~ the pasta is so soft and meaty~ did he cook the pasta noodles in a meat broth or something?"
"Nope."
"Oh, so maybe those biotechina meat noodles I've seen on the ads?" She paid little attention to food adverts on TV as they were either shitty fast food ads or for foods that need to be cooked in kitchen, something she and Jun didn't have.
"Nope, worms."
Mokoto paused her slurp. "...What?"
"Worms, that the 'noodles'. We don't waste us Nomads and those little buggers are abundant, we use the sauce to disguise what we're eating."
Mokoto then held up one of those 'noodle', the sauce soon fell, and so did her face.
She had been eating WORMS!
...Still better than Jun's burritos though!
