Title: Comfort Food
Author: [livejournal.com profile] permetaform
Spoilers: general spoilers for past Siege I

McKay found the colonel in the SGC cafeteria, post-debriefing, dispiritedly picking at his french fries. He sat down, stole one, and grimaced.

It was almost-but-not-quite-entirely-unlike the tubers that grew on MX4-2X5.

John pushed the plate away, "Don't bother with the chicken."

"It's not like it's going to kill you, Sheppard." Rodney reached over, but paused. "Wait, it doesn't have--"

"No citrus that I could tell."

Rodney bit into a leg. It looked close enough to the giant amphibians from M25-67J that the chicken almost tasted like, but it was stringier and harder to chew. And less sweet.

Even the hair was droopy.

"Oh for the love of--stop moping! We'll be back in a week!"

Sheppard just raised an eyebrow and pretended not to stew over his coffee.

Awww.

Makes me wonder when they started meaning Atlantis and not Earth when they said "home."

Aw, I love that their comfort food has changed galaxies along with them! Funny how your definition of home can change when you're not looking.

aw, poor John. He's become so used to eating fresher food from Atlantis and from trading partners that Earth food just isn't the same anymore and even his *hair* misses Atlantis! ♥

yays! I love them being homesick for Atlantis, because that becomes where they belong and where they're happiest. The food is such a nice illustration of that, too--I think I read somewhere in a fic, Rodney saying that they had to come up with a whole new way of talking about food, with -ish and -like and whatnot, to describe Pegasus--for them to turn that around and use it against Earth is very cute. well done!

*LOL* Cute. Instead of comparing food to Earth, comparing food to Atlantis. Thanks for this.

I liked how the potatoes and chicken are now being compared to Pegasus Galaxy food, not the other way round!

"Even the hair was droopy" - brilliant!
