That's not stupid at all! Food is a wonderful way to connect to culture, and I'm honoured that you thought of me to help you with that. Do you like spicy things? I know what you don't eat, but is there anything in particular that you really like to eat? What was your favourite food as a kid?

[ Not for the first time, Ben feels extremely grateful that he had met Cho. He loves his siblings, but he thinks Klaus would probably laugh, if he heard about this. Allison, too, maybe. It's too hard, with family. But Cho... she seems to get it.

So he thinks for a bit and starts telling her what foods he had liked, that Grace used to make. It's clear from the menu he discusses that there wasn't an awful lot of diversity in the dishes. Most were healthy but fairly joyless. Grace had some things she was good at, and she put a lot of love into those simple foods. But food had been a tool in the Hargreeves household. Nothing more. ]
