[It is indeed fun food! As she will find out.]

It's a kind of grain, usually served boiled or steamed. Doesn't have a lot of flavor on its own, but as part of other dishes it's really good.

Also has the upside of being very easy on the stomach if you're not feeling well, but hopefully we won't have to deal with that for awhile. I don't think either one of us wants to have to go bug Paian again so soon, right?
