"Red chilli powder, yellow tamrid powder, zeera powder for special occasions, with the actual seeds in for even more important ones, Ilagi? Elachi? I don't know, depends on your accent or dialect, for more of the mundane occasions but on days you fell like treating yourself, and these little black balls here, with the stars, for festival days," Lila continued to explain, speaking as if most of the words here meant something to Emmet and that he would know what s

"Did you put spices in it?" Angeline explained with a smile. "Yes. They’re all spices that are good for the stomach.” Jay was slightly surprised. This was made especially for him. Baby Zetty tugged at the hem of Jay's shirt and echoed her mommy’s words, "There’s also fennel in it." A hint of confusion rose in Jay's eyes. "Fennel?" Angeline broke into laughter. "It’s for my bloating." Baby Zetty twitched her mouth. Mommy had lied to Daddy.

He must like them which is a good thing but what worries me is that he is unbothered about the spice almost as if he ……. I gasped as realization hit me What the actual hell? “ what’s going on inside your mind?” he asked “ I think I know why you don’t like any food” He just stared at me without blinking. “then tell me” he spoke without any change in expressions “ you can’t taste food!.......you can’t identify whether you are eating sweet, sour, salty or spicy” He lowered his gaze and sighed “ you are right yet wrong. I can taste spice but only little”

Astell looked at his daughter. The spice had a distinctive aroma along with its bitter taste. It cleanses the mouth, but usually people don’t like this scent. However, Astell knew that Harriet loves this. Most could eat what was placed in front of them, but the young Nadia had a slightly different way of eating. Oddly, the kid loves to eat special spices. Harriet cut the mean into large pieces and put it in her mouth with plenty of spice on top. She chewed the meat and swallowed it with ecstatic look on her face.

So, searching for them will wait, till he completes the quest. "Care to join me?!" Spiro said as he presented a kind of, 'sweets packed inside a Nylon' , to him. "What is this??" asked Vic. "I call it dragon sweet. The others call it Mint but I don't like calling it that. It sounds dumber to it's appearance." Spiro explained. "Dragon sweet! An amazing name, Let me see it." Vic requested and Spiro handed over the sweets. "Hmmn, I like it." Vic said as he swallowed the sweets.

I gesture to the items in her arms. She doesn't say anything, instead just places everything in front of her on my desk. I look over the bottles of spices. She has Cayenne powder, Turmeric, and even Cinnamon. "What are you planning on doing with those?" I ask, as my eye shifts upwards to continue watching what she's doing.

I am a really bad person. He hands me an empty dish plate and smiles when he turns it to me. The surface is reflective and the person who looks back at me has flaming red cheeks and snot streaming down her nose. I grab a napkin and clean the snot immediately. Raymel keeps an eyebrow arched up at me and I blush even harder. "I didn't expect the spice. Is it usually always that hot?" He chuckles and shakes his head "Not all the time. it just depends on the way you cook it I guess. It's the same way some dishes can be spicy because they have spice in them."

Daisy says, as they place down another plates before us, I recognize this, Spagetti, but it's covered with other things. "This is Spagetti, not the one you are used to. This is Village Jollof Spagetti, made with Spagetti, meats, locust beans, vegetables, dried fish and of course palm oil. Careful, because this is extra spicy." "Okay."

"Not surprising. You'd have known if it was cheese or something edible though." I ignore that as he stares at it before looking at my neck, "Ha. Gluttony." Then he shakes his head, "Oh, Vanessa. I can't take this. I'm not one of you." "Well, you have to take it. It was Doc's gift, not mine." I say, smiling, "Plus, do you know your name actually has an ice cream flavour? Kiwi! Which totally goes with Kawaii. Who'd have thought?" He sends me a look, "Vanessa."
