It's through travel with everyone recently that Metaari has come to realize that... well. There aren't a lot of battle chefs around. Not that he considers himself a chef, either, but at least he knows how to do a little more than stick meat over a fire. And now it's time to impart his knowledge on others so that they, too, may eat a little better when on the road. And, you know, assuming they aren't in such dire straits that they can afford to spend a little time pampering themselves.

"That's a fair point! Nothing like good, solid iron that's built to withstand fire for beating someone about the head." Metaari laughs and rolls his shoulders a little as he straightens his back for a moment, working out the kinks from staying bent over.

He nods, almost happy to know there's someone else around here who knows something about cooking. "That's right. Oak is my personal favorite for red meats. I like maple for a lighter flavor. But as you said, when it comes right down to it, I often don't get the choice."

"That makes sense. Maple is for syrup or candy. It has a sweet flavor and I can see the flavor of its smoke being light because of it." While she knows plenty about cooking, it all comes from books. It's not the same as getting experience from someone who has done this sort of thing before.

"Is there anything I can do to assist?"
