A Simple Request - A Little Drabble Do ya! - March 23rd

Napoleon paused outside his office door and took a deep breath. The news he had for Illya was not good, and he was loathe to deliver it. The CEA had honestly tried to get a positive decision for Russian’s request. He had flexed the power of his position and had used every ounce of his charm, but it was all for naught. He took another breath and stepped into the office.

“What is the answer?” Illya asked, his voice laden with hope.

“I’m sorry Illya. The commissary refuse to serve Shchi* because they say the smell would drive everyone away.”


*Russian Cabbage Soup.

Thank you :-)

I love cabbage in all its forms, but cooked badly it can smell terrible. I can still smell the green sludge I was given at primary school, LOL. Mind you, even when done properly, it is an aroma which can linger a while :-)

I guess since I never had badly cooked cabbage, then I don't know what it smells like. It was something that was never served in school. I grew up eating it, and mom would always make it with a smoked port butt, (and corned beef too) but the former we had year round.

Used to make it myself when I was allowed to eat it. Miss having it. Yummmmmmm.
