The Power of Suggestion
Some time back [info]archangelbeth mentioned the myth of Persephone in a post.

I haven't set foot in the company cafeteria since.

OH, you can go there, just don't eat any pomegranate seeds!

I don't think I've even seen a pomegranate since I moved to Texas.

Central Market has 'em, just in time for Thankgsgiving, usually, but you know their target demographic, and if you get a chance to trek southeast on a Saturday to the Dallas Farmer's Market, I've seen them there, too.

My company cafeteria, when I worked at one that had one, made a kick-ass philly cheesesteak and not. much. else. I had the short order person trained to my blasphemous wish to throw a couple of tomatoes onto the grill with the onions. And then he left. Sigh.

I've worked in some buildings with bad cafeterias before, but never one which was actually in the underworld. Perhaps Virgil can guide you through?

Don't be. I'm probably eating healthier this way, either skipping lunch or getting out into the sunshine to forage elsewhere.

I love pomegranates, but when I eat one I'm always vaguely uneasy about that seventh seed...
