EOC Week 9: Food Adventure

Upon finishing a leisurely trip to Korea, Phileas Fogg decided to head east in his ship to the island nation of Japan. When Fogg finally docked his ship at the port, he was greeted by some of the most beautiful women he had ever seen. They were dressed in traditional Kimonos and had exquisite makeup. They brought him into a palace fit only for someone of great importance and they walked him into a sitting room, and offered him tea and snacks, but he declined as he had just finished some Korean BBQ he had brought in from Korea. Now, one thing you do not do in Japan is refuse any offerings given to you by your hosts. One woman nodded, smiled, and left the room closing the door behind her. Next thing you know, the walls to the room collapsed only to be replaced by walls of samurais. Now any of us would be quite frightened, but not Fogg, because little did the samurais know, Fogg had just received his 9th Degree Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do back in Korea. Fogg was ready. Immediately all the samurais simultaneously charged at Fogg, katanas ready to slice and dice him into pieces. Fogg jumped into the air causing all the samurais to collide into each other. Some were knocked out, others stabbed each other, but all were taken care of. Fogg didn't even have to touch any of the warriors. Then, Fogg heard clapping but could not source it. It was the emperor. He walked into the light and was quite impressed with Fogg's performance. The emperor was snacking on something. A mix of some sort and was incessantly consuming them to curb his smoking habit. "Whoever you are! You defeated my guards without even laying a single hand on them! You are a great warrior yourself. Please tell me, what are your greatest desires?" yelled the emperor. "I wish to know what you are eating as I am a connoisseur of fine snacks!" yelled Fogg. "Ahh, Mr. Fogg, just some mixed nuts. This recipe has been in my family for centuries passed down from the Buddhist monks to bring us luck. Commoners have no access to this. Being that you defeated my men, you seem worthy." From there, Fogg was introduced to the recipe of nuts that you hold right now.
