Script
Food Plaza
After visiting the ancient grapevine museum, you and Vyn go to the natural food market.
The various traditional Baroskian snacks attract hordes of tourists who surround the food stalls.
Neither you nor Vyn like crowds...
So you find a quiet cheese dessert stall in the corner and sit down to rest.
Cheese Stand Owner: Hello, would you like to try some handmade cheese? There are many flavors that you can choose from.
The stall owner greets you warmly and gives you two bowls of cheese desserts with sliced fresh fruits.
The sweet and sour fruit neutralizes the mellow cheese. It's so refreshing when it melts in your mouth.
You: Yummy! Hmm... Rich yet not too greasy. It's delicious!
Cheese Stand Owner: It's my honor to hear your compliments.
Cheese Stand Owner: Try some more. There are other flavors too.
You: What other flavors do you have here?
Cheese Stand Owner: I have chocolate frosting, nut spread, or coconut jam to go with the cheese.
Cheese Stand Owner: Which one would you like?
You: ...I'd like to try nut spread and cheese.
Cheese Stand Owner: Here you go. It's a mix of peanuts, almonds, and hazelnuts that I picked, grounded, and roasted myself.
Cheese Stand Owner: The toasted nuts add a nice sweetness to the cheese. I hope you like it.
You: Mmm, it smells good!
Vyn: Well... I would like coconut jam with cheese, please.
Cheese Stand Owner: Here you go. Give it a try.
Vyn: The freshness of the coconut jam is a good match with the sweetness of the cheese.
Vyn: Would you mind telling us how one would make coconut jam?
Cheese Stand Owner: It's very easy. Add some sugar in the pan, followed by toasted coconut mixed with coconut oil, then add a little bit of coconut water to wrap up the juice.
Cheese Stand Owner: This way the aroma of coconut will be mostly retained.
You: Hmm... Is there wine in this cheese?
You: It's very light, but I can taste a little bit of wine in the aftertaste.
Cheese Stand Owner: Yes. Normally cheese is made with rice wine, but I also add some regular wine, from grapes, with moderate acidity.
Cheese Stand Owner: The acidity of the wine nicely complements the sweetness of the cheese and also adds a unique fruit flavor to the cheese.
Cheese Stand Owner: This makes my cheese suitable for a variety of desserts.
You: Your cheese is so delicious. It must be very popular.
Hearing that, the cheese stall owner's facial expression changes subtly.
Cheese Stand Owner: ...
You: What's wrong? Did I... say something wrong...?
Cheese Stand Owner: No, no. I am very happy to hear you say that.
Cheese Stand Owner: Do you want to try some other flavors?
The stall owner looks hesitant to say anything more. You probably shouldn't ask if she's unwilling to talk.
You: I'll try the chocolate flavor.
...
After trying the cheese desserts, you and Vyn leave to check out other stalls.
However, the subtle expression on the owner's face has left an impression in your mind...
You can't forget it...
