Community Center Class: Chopped: Fandom. Tuesday Evening, 11/22
"This week," Summer announced happily, "for those of you who might not be aware or even know anything about it, is Thanksgiving. It's a horrible holiday with its roots in colonialism and the subjugation of native people and the aggressive white-washing of history to fit some bullshit wholesome narrative of goodwill and camaraderie, but it involves food, so we'll still be celebrating here in our class this week!"
“I think we can celebrate the food without the rest of it, can’t we?” Stark asked. “It’s not my holiday so I usually just eat the food if I do anything at all. But I don’t want to celebrate anyone’s being subjugated.” He had some Thoughts on colonialism. It was probably best not to get him started.
"Most people," Summer assured everyone with a nod, "just celebrate the food. Although, admittedly, that's mostly out of ignorance, be it systemic or willful. Anyway! Enough of that. You're here for completely different kinds of atrocities, so let's move right along and introduce you to this week's inspiration!"
Was it with dread or excitement that you watched Summer reach for that cloche by now? She honestly hoped it was a good mixture of both.
"Behold!" she announced, as she revealed this week's monstrosity. "The Thanksgiving cupcake! It has a gooey center!"
“Maybe we shouldn’t celebrate the food either,” Stark said with a long-suffering sigh. “At least not like this.” He had, in fact, been watching Summer with both excitement and dread.
And Summer just beamed all the more proudly after that sigh. "You may open your baskets," she informed everyone, importantly.
