– It was probably something I ate. Or, more worryingly, something I cooked. And then ate.
– But you are better now?
– I am recovering slowly. I have not been at my best today: feeling fragile, listless; off my food.
– Just as well, to tell the truth: if your cooking has that effect you, you'd best keep away from it for as long as possible.
– But surely I need to maintain my strength.
– You'll be fine for a few days. A week or two even. The human body is remarkably resilient.
– Mine does not feel particularly resilient at the moment.
– I find hot sweet tea is often useful to assuage the pangs of hunger. And a handful of Jaffa Cakes. Between them, they provide all the basic nutrients you require.
– They probably provide sugar and not much else.
– I am sure a Jaffa Cake is crammed full of vitamin C. Sailors would eat them to avoid scurvy.
– That is reassuring to know. At least amongst all my other ailments, I won't succumb to scurvy.
– It'll be one less thing to worry about. Unlike you're inability to cook.
