Novel & Cerita A Dish Best Served Cold Novel

ZACHARY Normally, I don’t spend more than two minutes eating whatever food is brought to me–breakfast, Lunch, dinner–I just always want to end it as fast as I can so that the smell of a maid’s fear in my room could evaporate and I can be left alone again in the solace of my room. I never even finish eating no matter how tasty the food is. I get disgusted after the second spoon but still push a few more spoons into my mouth and then that’s it. Today, I didn’t know when I finished the entirety of my dinner served to me by mate. I never finish eating the hottest meals yet I shoved the cold one down my throat like it was the most delicious thing ever. I didn’t enjoy the food. No need to lie abou

" The wine glass I’d just picked up froze mid-air. The illusion of luxury I’d always believed in was shattered instantly, along with the words "dry ice costs $0.50". The comments lit up. [His worldview just collapsed! Turns out he’s been the ultimate sucker!] [Xavier’s calculations are so sharp I can hear the calculator clacking through the screen!] "Come on! As long as it tastes good, isn’t it worth it?" I protested weakly. "Most of the menu is cold dishes, and they’re not even using top-tier ingredients," he replied calmly. "Do you really think it tastes that good?"

He picked up a hot towel to wipe his hands and suddenly stared blankly at the empty plate in front of him. "Tonight's dinner is borscht and Russian braised beef..." Charlie whispered as he introduced the exquisitely prepared Russian dishes on the table, one by one. "Charlie, I want 441 Deluxe Instant Noodles!" Frost suddenly looked up, startling the chef, who almost dropped the lid of the braised beef onto the dining table. "441 Deluxe Instant Noodles? Frost, what's 441?" Despite being a chef for most of his life, Charlie had never heard of this popular homemade dish.

Mils Haddock: "I got fired right after my baby weaned off my breast milk. But when I attended a job interview, the HR department thought I was too old for the job. "Am I supposed to retire even though I'm only 30 years old? I spent 12 dollars on subway tokens today. A mere burrito bowl cost me 25 dollars. I seriously have no idea how I'm supposed to survive at this rate." Rory the sad housewife: "I was born in the 1980s. Five years ago, I was dismissed by my company. Now, I have to rely on my husband just to survive. The feeling of having to ask him for money is terrible…"

Marta’s whisper the night before came back with surgical clarity: “Not poison. Just paralysis. Truth serum with a side effect of humiliation. It’ll hurt their stupid pride.” Andros drained his glass. So did the others. I pretended to sip from mine. Bitterness bit the back of my throat anyway. Maybe it was memory of my childhood. Maybe it was the fact that I’d just shaken hands with the bastards who’d killed a girl who looked like me. The meal started as if it was just another sunny afternoon in mid July. Grilled fish, blood oranges, bread thick with sea salt, balsamic vinegar and virgin olive oil—an artfully arranged performance on blue and yellow plates, all choreographed to distract from t

"Go and change." James enters carrying a platter of smoked salmon, bedded on a green salad and dressed with sliced lemons. Richard demurs, smirking.... "The meal's arrived. If I take the time to change, the food will be cold." Michael takes on a quite untypical heartless tone. "Smoked salmon doesn't go cold. Neither does melon. We'll wait." James, Rudolph staring out from his chest, sets down the platter. "I'll be back in in a sec with the soup. It's just under the grill now."

Instead, she put food on her plate while telling her grandson to start eating. "Come on, Gery. We should eat this before it gets cold. The chef says this soup is best when eaten warm," Mrs. Daphne said, turning her attention to the garlic soup served by the family chef. "Oma knows very well that Maggie always manages to execute various soups. The flavor won't change even if it gets cold." Gery replied as if refusing to divert their conversation from the critical matter that her grandmother had planned since the beginning.

Hunger started to bother my thoughts. I went down from my room to the dining room. Usually, the dining table was already neatly arranged with steaming hot food. Today was no different. But what was different was the figure standing beside the table, watching every detail with sharp eyes. Davina. The new head butler. She greeted me with her sweet smile. "Good afternoon, Madam. The food is ready. I have prepared a special menu for today. There's cream of mushroom soup as an appetizer, organic vegetable salad with honey dressing, grilled fish with lemon sauce, and for dessert, panna cotta with berry sauce."

Sophie was aware of how knowledgeable Yulia was, but she did not believe that Logan could gift her such expensive food. "Hey, do I look like I'm joking to you?" Yulia peeked at her helplessly. "These dishes are still warm. Let's eat now. Their taste will turn bad if they get cold." She unpacked the cutlery and asked the others to eat too. "Hmm, it's so delicious!" "It smells so good! I've never eaten such tasty food before!" After they ate it, they were full of praise for the food. "Sophie, try some."

"Prince Consort, Your serene higness, I want both of you to rest assured. The result of the plan that you have set forwards has come back through the crown princess's servants as well as the imperial physician who was decided to stay on alert as the incident was unfolded. As you have predicted, the result is completed to the satisfaction." The servant bowed in front of the duo who were eating their evening meal together. Most of the dishes were uncovered, but hardly touch as neither had really touched this food which had been brought before them. The soft heat had ceased rising from the dishes which the servant looked nervously at. "Please let me take away these cold dishes and replace
