the food on your plate now belongs to the state

[huszar]

The World Meeting is set over a few days, obstinately in order to give each major topic enough time to be discussed; actually because the nations are so prone to distraction that only by giving them the better part of a week will there be a chance that anything actually does get discussed. Today's meeting is over, Hungary is tired of hotel food, and so she's ventured out to an American market—sorry, supermarket. Wow. What would you even do with an aisle full of cereal? There are about eight brands of milk! Is there even a difference? Her plan of finding a snack is quickly falling by the wayside as she's getting more and more trapped in the world of I Guess They've Never Had Food Shortages, Ever. And wow, do they not stock Paprika flavour crisps anywhere?

in which austria is suddenly my grandmother

Austria passes by, a few used toothpicks in hand, looking for a trash pail. He would have used the ones near the actual free sample tables, but he didn't want to take his time eating there and reveal that he'd taken more than one. No, he was discreet about it. Free samples are free samples, and if he can land himself a free lunch out of them? Even better.

Quietly he approaches her, with his tongue in his cheek looking like he's trying to remove something from a molar. He hands her a toothpick, this one not yet used. It has a small cheese cube on top.

"They have little sliced sausages, too. They're passable." He looks around, smirking flatly, making sure no one is in earshot. "Don't take any samples from the bakery, though. I feel like I've just eaten enough sugar to last me the week."

Turkey has run out of sweet snacks and that is never an alright thing to happen. He figures that it's because this world meeting was more aggravating than the previous and he needed something to keep his mouth occupied lest he begin shouting obscenities at everyone who annoyed him. But he didn't expect the selection that was given to him the minute he stepped into the store. Is there really a need to have something this big?

He has a basket full of fruit snacks (that's healthy, right?) and is just sort of meandering around, trying to see what else is there in market that he may want. He is running low on juice as well... Turkey sees Hungary looking around as well and amicably makes his way towards her.

"Oi, quite a selection they got, huh?"
