"I'm telling you," Max declared, his mouth full of roast potato, "this hash has achieved a level of crispiness that normally requires a deep fryer and a small fire extinguisher. Theo, you've outdone yourself. It's almost as good as the truffle fries at the restaurant, and that's saying something."
Aurora chimed in, "Almost, Max? These pork chops are practically singing opera! I was expecting campfire cuisine to be a bit more… rustic. You know, like chewing on a well-seasoned hiking boot. But this? This is gourmet, valley-style!"
Shizuka, with a delicate nibble of a roasted carrot, agreed, "The subtlety of the herbs is quite remarkable, considering our kitchen utensils consisted of a sharpened stick and sheer willpower. I envision an Ether star for this Heartwood Hash. Perhaps a special 'Valley of Serenity' award."
