The Philosophy of Food | Wednesday, 3rd Period
Hannibal nodded to his students when they'd all arrived. "Today is our last class. It is generally traditional to have some sort of a final exam, but as you may have noted on the syllabus, you are not having one."
He smiled. "It is said that a good teacher learns as much from his students as they from him, so I think a more fitting gauge of my teaching ability is for the final exam to be mine." He waved at the food on the table. "Today's food, you may thank your classmates for. Those of you who showed me how to create your foods, I hope I have done well enough by them. Those of you who elected to write an essay," he sighed, "well, I return them to you, printed on edible paper.
"For today's discussion, I should like for you to each tell me one thing you have learned from this class, and one way in which it may inform your future eating."
"Also, I should like to invite you all to a post-semester dinner at the Arms Hotel one week from Saturday. There will be no tests or requirements; it's simply my way of saying thank you for allowing me to instruct you."
