Ianto picked up a vegetable, looking at it closely. He shook his head, not looking away from the piece of food in his hand. "That's alright. I think...maybe familiar might be good, in some cases," he said, warily eying the vegetable in question.
"Right," he said, after a moment, before looking at the sauces. There was one...that looked kind of like ranch dressing, but Ianto was willing to bet that that wasn't what it was. "I just...pick one and dip it, then, yeah?" he asked, even though. Well, it was pretty much explanatory. The idea of trying alien foods was a little more intimidating, now that the food was actually there in front of him.
Deciding to just go for it, Ianto took the piece of food, dip it, and just eat it. Of course, he probably picked the most spicy of the three dips, in retrospect, but he hadn't any idea of that until it was far, far too late. He tried to swallow fast, but it burned on the way down as well, and Ianto burst out coughing. "Jesus Christ," he managed, reaching for his drink and trying to pause and take a breath long enough to take a sip and wash out his mouth and throat.
