Title : Comfort Food
Author : fredbassett
Fandom : Primeval
Rating : 12
Characters : Connor/Ryan
Disclaimer : Not mine, no money made, don’t sue.
Spoilers : None
Summary : Written for [livejournal.com profile] primeval100 challenge 231, I’d Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That).

Ryan stared in amazement at the contents of Connor’s plate.

Mashed potato, milky sauce, well-stewed onion and something wholly and utterly unidentifiable, but whatever it was he knew he didn’t want to become intimately acquainted with it.

It wasn’t so much a meal as a winter landscape.

“Comfort food,” Connor said with relish. “Tripe and onions like my Nan used to make.” He brandished his fork in the direction of the cooker. “I made enough for two.”

Ryan impressed himself by managing to suppress a shudder. Much as he loved Connor, there were some lines he wasn’t prepared to cross.

I don't blame Ryan *g* Even before I became vegetarian I couldn't even stand the sight/smell of anything like tripe or liver - what made it worse was my dad was a bit of an old school northerner who was convinced adding black pudding to stew improved the flavour *shudders*

I've never had it myself, but I think I'm firmly on Ryan's side :D
Much as he loves Connor, that's really too much, LOL!!
Lovely *happysigh*
*imagines Ryan's own brand of comfort happily*

I actually cringed as I was reading it. Ryan must have a stronger stomach than me *g*

Winter landscape - LOL

Ryan would have to eat it if he was on a mission, but thankfully he's home and safe with his boy (though perhaps not safe from his cooking)...

Thanks but no thanks*G* I know in the US we have a thing for animal testicles ie turkey fries, mountain oysters and so on. But what is the deal with animal stomachs & organs. I don't think I'm wasteful or anything. But somethings I just won't eat*G* Great drabble by the way*giggle*

The tripe wouldn't have made me shutter but the onions would have. I'm allergic to them.

"It wasn’t so much a meal as a winter landscape"

I don't think Connor's puppy eyes could convince Ryan this time ^_^

Haha, love it. Convincing other people your comfort food is great can be very difficult.
