*Looks down*
Okay.
<Snipped quote by Meta>
... But don't let it get you down. Let's eat! I'm hungry, too. We did have to walk over a hundred doors.
<Snipped quote by Efficacy>
Where are we going?
<Snipped quote by Meta>
We're here: Rena's Diner. It serves the tastes of Henna and Manna, which according to the app are generally "tangy and fruity".
<Snipped quote by Efficacy>
Like smoothies?
<Snipped quote by Meta>
Maybe. Let's check out what they have here. *walks in to a large, bright-coloured room with chairs for waiting and a podium with a waitress*
-Waitress- Hello! Welcome to Rena's Diner. Can I have your name and party size?
-Aron--one 'a'--and two.
-Waitress- Ah, then we already have spots open. Please, follow me. *picks up two menus and leads you to a table with soft chairs*
<Snipped quote by Efficacy>
*Follows*
<Snipped quote by Meta>
-Waitress- *sits you down and hands you the menus* Your waitress will be with you shortly.
-*opens up my menu, which has categories for salads, sandwiches, and entrées; their meats and fruits complement each other in the latter two and salads are varied* Looks like the Rainbow Salad is a staple dish in Henna and Manna. And I've never heard of most of these ingredients before.
<Snipped quote by Efficacy>
I don't recognize them either.
<Snipped quote by Meta>
Maybe we can ask the waitress to describe them. Although I'm trying to describe those from my own home, and it's not working out well.
-Waitress- Hello! I'm Ella, and I'll be your waitress today. Would you like any drinks?
-Water, please, with no ice.
<Snipped quote by Efficacy>
Same here.
<Snipped quote by Meta>
-Ella- Got it. I'll be back soon with your drinks. If you have any questions about our menu, I'll be happy to answer.
-Well, we've never been to this planet before today, so we don't know anything about the kinds of vegetables and meats and such that you have here.
-Ella- Believe it or not, we get that a lot. It's a challenge to describe foods when there's no common basis. But in Sun City, you're encouraged to be adventurous. Trying something new can't hurt when practically everything else is.

What's the best?
<Snipped quote by Meta>
-Ella- For salads, the Rainbow Salad is the best, both in variety and "synergy", if you like to think of salad that way. My favourite sandwich combo is chopped vela with wesio treacle--vela is the meat; wesio is the fruit; treacle is a syrupy fruit spread. For entrées, your best bet is anora pasta with vela meatballs, if you'd like something salty and sweet.
<Snipped quote by Efficacy>
Do you have a system of meats, like fish, birds, and things like that?
<Snipped quote by Meta>
-Ella- We do. Vela is meat from livestock. We serve some fish meals.
<Snipped quote by Efficacy>
Oh, great. Thank you.
<Snipped quote by Meta>
-Ella- Well, I'll be right back with those drinks. If you find anything else on the menu you're interested in, feel free to ask questions.

Thanks!
