Amusing tale that echoes the legacy of American Pie's pie scene with more vigor and enthusiasm, but perhaps doesn't strike out far enough on its own. It tests the waters, but finds them wanting... perhaps afraid to commit to the bit given how long it takes to get there, like some sort of warning to the errant reader who didn't realize what they got into and needed the warning signs flashed over and over again. What was advertised as an attempt to disturb/be vile is primarily comedic in execution, minus some awfully chosen purposeful phrases which makes SENSE in the moment but brings to mind the worse comparison when that phrase is purposefully used. You'll know what they are if you read it, but the hint word is "cheese".


More specifically-- 

Narratively, this piece spends too much time in the classes with the wrong focuses-- the dragon could have said nothing. All his worth was in a medium to present ingredients. What we needed was more hinting at the trauma of Bechamel before the drop in the spaghetti class. Otherwise, we lingered too much in the cooking, waiting expectantly for the lasagna fucking that was foreshadowed the whole time (which we WANTED to get to. Well, maybe others didn't but I did. That was the final course for the story you'd laid out.) When it arrived, you continued the food conceit even in the arousal of the characters, which continues to lampshade the situation for the joke it is. Even the names were chosen just to be able to have them produce their own namesake  sauce "organically".


Presentation wise, great stuff. Do I care that I've heard those free songs before? I'm not that judgmental of a person. My only real complaint was that the lasagna was so damn small. They only took one square home with them? That doesn't diegetically make sense with my fantasy-- that doesn't look like an adequate amount for two people to share. And if not that, then they should have had like a sufficient amount with them to eat and/fuck.

All in all, that was enjoyable, but I wanted to power through all the recipes and get to the interpersonal elements (up to and including the fucking).
