Lines Spoken by This Houseguest:

• "Cake baking bears no resemblance to making soup. All those powders and so much measuring! And I do not understand the flavor. Soups can be sweet, so why can't cakes be savory? I am dry with vexation."
  
  
• "Celebrations like the Anniversary Jubilee inspire me. Seeing others enjoy food makes me happy, but they should be eating soup! I have already created six new recipes. Would you like to hear me list all the ingredients? Hmm. Another time perhaps."
  
  
• "Excuse the smell, but you must deal with it. Boiled fish for today's soup. I do not trust a fish soup if it does not waft in all directions. I will admit, though, that this one is particularly ... pungent."
  
  
• "A good soup is like a lake. The surface may be rife with activity, but the true greatness lies underneath. The surface is just the introduction. Get to know the flavors before you take the plunge. And if you find the spoon I dropped, let me know."
  
  
• "Hmm. I seem to be going through ingredients more quickly than I anticipated. Is five soups a day too many soups? No, of course not! What a ridiculous question."
  
  
• "I am not a personal chef. I do not take orders. I'm an artist! I make the soup I want to make. No more, no less. If you do have a special request, leave a note and maybe I will consider it for next time. Maybe."
  
  
• "I erect the spine of awe. Your reputation as a provisioner inspires countless lesser cooks. Even a cook such as I finds myself impressed at your accomplishments. I contemplate expanding my repertoire, but why deny the world my delicious soups?"
  
  
• "I found some wonderfully ripe and sun-blessed roots, along with a few oozeworthy maggots. Also some fermented pond scum. Yum! What? Pick up your spoon and eat your soup. It's perfectly delicious!"
  
  
• "I make soups wherever I go. Different places provide different ingredients. While I am here, I must make use of everything I can find and create new soup recipes. It is what I do."
  
  
• "I once met a Nord who asked if I would make a soup with mead. By the Egg, I thought them mad. But once I perfected the recipe, it turned out delicious. Now, don't go getting any ideas. I still hate taking requests."
  
  
• "I prefer not to be watched while I cook. A watched pot never boils, and a watched cook always becomes cross. Well, yes, I am always cross. But I can become much crosser if you vex me."
  
  
• "If you find a bone in a bowl of soup, consider yourself lucky. It is better to find it in the bowl than lodged deep inside your throat. Bones add flavor, but I usually fish them out before serving. Usually."
  
  
• "Jubilee Cake? What about Jubilee Soup? I could make something just as worthy of celebration. Soups are perfect for large parties, as long as you have a big enough ladle. I really must talk to them about this obvious oversight in the menu."
  
  
• "Many soups can come from a single broth. Swamp eel broth goes well with vegetables, fish, meat, and maggots. But not horker. Never horker!"
  
  
• "My soups are works of art. They aren't meant for the hungry or the curious. Such masterpieces are destined for true connoisseurs. For those who can truly appreciate my skills and talent. In other words ... this soup isn't for you!"
  
  
• "No, you cannot have bread or crackers with my soups. A good soup does not need it! The flavor should speak for itself. My soups do not need elaboration, substitution, or additional components in order to be enjoyed."
  
  
• "Some ask me why I do not make slurry, or pies, or haggis. My name is not Makes-Many-Pies, is it? Soups come in many different flavors, and none of them are boring."
  
  
• "Someday I hope to have my own place, where I can have more than one pot to cook in. More pots, more soup!"
  
  
• "Someone said one of my soups made them ill. As if that were a possibility! My soups provide sustenance and cure illnesses! No one ever got sick from eating my soup! And certainly no one has ever died. At least, no one I know about."
  
  
• "Soup for everyone! Soon, soon. Two kinds today, but you must eat both. There is no choosing one over the other. Mostly because I still had to cook them in the same pot. I really should look into purchasing another cooking vessel."
  
  
• "Soup has many different uses. It can fill you up or warm your scales on a cold night. It can quench your thirst and take away your troubles. Soup is so much more than simply food. It is perfect! I would not dedicate my life to anything less."
  
  
• "Stews are not the same as soups. Anyone who insinuates such a claim adds insult to their ignorance. They are as different as dragonflies and hackwings. I do not make stew."
  
  
• "Today I make crawdad tails in a saltrice infused broth. Very salty, but not very wriggly. Some soups wriggle, some do not."
  
  
• "When I was small, I made soup in mud puddles with the wings of flies. I have since grown as a cook. While mud has its place and flies do add a lovely texture, my palate of ingredients has increased. Flies do add the perfect amount of crunch though."
  
  
• "You cook with a golden spoon, don't you, provisioner? You use only the freshest ingredients, the finest cuts of meat, the most delicate spices. But have you ever cooked with snail slime? No? Pity."
  
  
• "Your skill with food and drink ... is quite impressive. I wonder which of us makes a more complex and flavorful soup? No, better we don't find out. I would hate to see you devastated."
