"God, that's... That's awful," he said. Ianto took another vegetable from the platter, wanting to try and cleanse his palate, but decided against any of the sauces this time. He didn't want to make the same mistake twice, after all. Then he'd look like an absolute fool. More so than he did already, even.

"The vegetables themselves aren't bad, though," he said, with a shrug. "Kind of reminds me of...I dunno. Tempura I guess..." He eyed the sauces warily. "D'you actually know what any of those are?" he asked. He could guess the spiciness of the sauce that he'd tried was unexpected even to Sulu, given his reaction there, but. Did he even know what any of the stuff that was in front of them tasted like?
