Does anyone have recommendations for nice places to eat in the bazaar? I usually buy food to cook at home, but it doesn't seem right to skimp out after buying a date in the auction.

Yesterday I saw someone with a wheelbarrow that had a little stove for heating up two pots, one for cheese and one for some kind of sweet brown sauce - shoklet, I think. They were charging to let people dip food they'd bought elsewhere in either pot, and calling it fondue. Seemed fairly popular, though that could be the novelty factor.

There are at least a dozen places to buy food that's been skewered and grilled, but I think the best one is in the stall with the red-and-white striped awning, because the proprietor doesn't overspice things.

On the weekends, when the bakery's marking down all the bread they didn't sell, there's a girl who buys up most of it, fries it in oil, and rolls it in sugar to sell. That's well worth trying.

There used to be a woman who'd take anything you gave her, stir-fry it in a pan, and serve it in a bowl of rice, but I haven't seen her for a while. There's a boy with her cart trying to carry on the tradition, but he burns some of the food.

That's kind of a lot. In my defense, I'm helpless in the kitchen and can only take the cafeteria for so long, so I'm usually up on what the bazaar has.

Thank you! I didn't think much about what would be fun to do until after the auction was over, and then I was stuck.

You seem pretty knowledgeable. I'd say that's an up side to not cooking much for yourself.

The really awful foodsellers don't tend to stay in business long unless they change things - that's basic economics. Everyone else, though, it's a matter of personal taste.

I tried making something once. My roommate makes a big deal about not letting me try again, but there wasn't that much smoke. Still, it's probably for the best that I don't cook.

Any kind of smoke in the kitchen tends to be bad. It sounds like it's a good thing that you eat out--and I'm sure the vendors are glad for the business.
