Vur tilted his head. Gluttonous Gourmet club?
Thats right, the dog said and stood up on its hindlegs. Its front paw tapped against its chest in what it thought was a reassuring manner. Im the leader of the Gluttonous Gourmet club. You can call me Sir Selddup.
Stella poked her head out of Vurs chest. You? she asked. Youre the leader?Updated chapters at novelhall.com
Why? Sir Selddup asked, his furry face contorting into a scowl. Are you looking down on me because Im a dog?
No, Stella said and shook her head. It just doesnt seem very leaderly of you to eat here.
Sir Selddup snorted. What would you know? he asked. Angelo is the only chef capable of bringing out the true flavors of reptile meat. Its not my fault he refuses to become my personal chef and chooses to work here instead as a mentor. As the leader of the Gluttonous Gourmet club, I dont mind lowering myself to eat good food. Besides, its not like pride does anyone any good; it cant even be eaten.
Vur took a seat beside the white dog, sitting with his legs crossed. Do you know Ashley?
It is good, right? Sir Selddup asked, his face beaming as if he were the one that had been complimented. I didnt expect the person Ashley recommended to actually have an appreciation of food. Most people wont even try fermented alligator meat even though its a delicacy. Sir Selddup gulped again as he watched Vur stuff another piece of meat into his mouth. Even without Ashleys recommendation, I would invite you to join my club, but I suppose I wouldnt be down here on the same floor as you if it werent for her. Right, I still have to record you insulting her to let you in.
Let me try some, Stella said and flew down from Vurs chest. She dipped her finger into the sauce and brought it up to her nose. She recoiled at the smell before sticking out her tongue, tasting the reddish-brown liquid. Her eyes lit up, and she grabbed a small piece of meat with both her hands, almost falling into the bowl in the process. She turned her head towards the white dog. You eat food like this every day in your club?
No, Sir Selddup said and leaned to the side, looking past Vur towards the kitchen area. The hostess was talking an awfully long time to come back with his food. It had almost been a minute! The dog sat back down on its haunches and licked its lips. A major part of the Gluttonous Gourmets is discovering new and delicious foods. Sometimes, the food is new but not delicious, you know what I mean? After we eat a new meal, we write down our thoughts and give it a thorough review. When we cant find any new meals to try for the day, then well go through our old reviews and eat things we gave five stars.
Stella nodded as she chewed with a full mouth. She swallowed and let out a small belch. I see, she said. So, you guys are like food critics? Do restaurants pay you to review their meals?
Even if they wanted to, we wouldnt accept, Sir Selddup said and shook his head. Our reviews are classified, only viewable by members of the club. If everyone and their mamas knew where all the good food ingredients were at, wouldnt we be shooting ourselves in the foot? If we published our reviews, dozens of ecosystems would definitely be destroyed, and we wouldnt be able to eat those dishes again.
That makes sense, Stella said and took another bite out of the piece of meat she was holding. It didnt take much effort for her to rip a strip off with her teeth.
So, are you joining or not? Sir Selddup asked and held out the audio recorder.
