Ianto took a bite of his onion ring, and decided that it was still a little too hot to really enjoy, yet, so he shoveled some chips onto his plate to cool down as well, reaching for the vinegar to smother them with (some things never changed). "Laverbread is..." He laughed. "Well, it doesn't sound like the most healthy or appetizing of foods, but I promise you it's actually pretty good. It's essentially...well. Laver is a type of seaweed. You take the laver and you boil it for a while, then mince it into a paste and well, fry it. Generally with bacon and cockles. It's, well. It's about as Welsh a dish as you can get, and it kind of looks like green mud paste, really, but I like it," Ianto said, with a smile and a shrug.
Ianto listened attentively to Sulu's description of 3D chess, trying to make sense of it. It was hard, though, because he was more inclined to pay attention to watching Sulu explain it than actually listening to how it worked, really. "Well. It's fine if you can't get it. I mean, you can't be good at everything, yeah? And you're a botanist and a pilot, not a maths specialist. I'd imagine that they are pretty separated from one other," he said, with a smile, as he reached to take another sip from his water.
