HELLO EVERYONE!!!

i have failed to introduce myself properly to the masses and i must say this is VERY SHAMEFUL OF ME (⁄ ⁄>⁄ ▽ ⁄<⁄ ⁄) my name is suoh tamaki and it's a pleasure to acquaint myself with whoever is here to read this.

to cut to the chase, i have taken quite an economic downgrade being here, and this is certainly a cultural shift for me...and the setting is a sci-fi one, to boot! i would like to take advantage of the situation to the best of my ability and go about making a fun list of ❤ FUN ACTIVITIES OF THE COMMON FOLK ❤ i'd like to partake in.

common things i would like to do while here:

▶ wait in an impossibly long line
▶ become gainfully employed (though nothing too grueling or isolated, thank you)
▶ try out various versions of the classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich
▶ play a recorder
▶ take some form of public transit

if you can help me in any of these endeavors i would be MUCH OBLIGED or if perhaps you would like to make one of these a group activity...the more the merrier!! ( ˘⌣˘)♡(˘⌣˘ )

AS AN ASIDE: i have decided i will be committing myself to a food sampling project involving common tea drinks. here is a little sample of one:

MANGO DRINK: perhaps the worst thing i have tasted in a long time. i was under the impression this was a tea drink. it is not tea.

PROS: the colour is nice, but not one i would consumer on the regular. there is certainly a sweetness to it, but my teeth felt awful after consumption.

CONS: everything else. to the common folk reading this, this is not what a mango tastes like <(￣ ﹌ ￣)> once i receive regular funds, i will buy mangos for you to try if you have never. i am TRULY SADDENED that a company has tricked you into believing this is a similar taste in any regard.

i will be posting these reviews somewhat regularly if you are interested! ♡( ◡‿◡ ) au revoir !

while not necessarily a big staple in japan (my usual area of interest), i have come across the mention of such a snack in too many pieces of american and other media.

the choice of jelly is one variable -- i know the typical options are strawberry and grape, but perhaps it would be heightened with a more artisinal option?

peanut butter -- crunchy or creamy! i am very curious about how the texture changes the experience.

and then bread...well there are simply too many kinds to name. it might take a few years to go through all the potential recipes ε=ε=ε=ε=┌(;￣▽￣)┘ but i have faith in us!

I agree as I'm also from Japan and mostly been familiar with Japanese cuisine and cooking Chinese until I arrived here.

There are so many jellies to try with that, it's probably going to lead to some interesting results. But I want to try the typical ones too and challenge grape to find something better than that. Let's try all the options!

Let's... try all the options with both types of peanut butter too, or at least let's keep going with that until it's clear how much the texture changes the experience because yes, I'm also very curious to know that.

It would take a few years with all of these options but any good place with those sandwiches should offer samples to people to try all of their variety! If a place doesn't offer that option, find somewhere else or even better, make them at home after trying the real thing somewhere for even more variety.

It also sounds like you need those blessed by Cordis / anyone else, who have anything like Cordis' eating habits. Lucky for you, I'm both. Rin Tohsaka, nice to meet you.

what a delightful read! i see you are as enthusiastic and scientifically minded about this pursuit as i am! this will be a long process, and one with many bumps and hurdles, but i do believe that we can come to a conclusion about which peanut butter and jelly sandwich varieties are superior!

(i am eager to see if grape REALLY is the best option; i am a man partial to apricot by the way)

i've also heard that getting much hungrier is a by product of these cycles we're being put through no...though admittedly i don't like to think too much about this added biological element.
