Thor: Thor hates Earth sweets, alcohol

[anonymous]

Thor is always described as liking Poptarts. I want him to actually not find them very filling or lose his taste for them. As he comes to eat a lot of Earth food during his stay on Earth, he finds he doesn't like Earth sweets. As he drinks he finds he doesn't like the alcohol much either, it's just too different than the Asgardian ones.

This sort of ended up wandering away from your prompt, but I hope it's okay anyway.If you had asked Thor what he wouldd miss most before he moved to Midgard, he’d have said the company of great friends, the assuring presence of his family, the grand vistas and expansive palace grounds, and the rush of adventure in beautiful lands. After all, in the all too brief time he’d been mortal, that had been what he’d longed for. Earth was an adventure of a kind, but a miserable one, only brightened by presence of Jane Foster, and he couldn’t describe the lightness in his heart when his friends had found him

It was easier, oddly, to consume the things most foreign to his palate. He liked it when Jane dragged him into tiny diners to drink thick coffee, the taste of which hung in the back of his throat for hours. He liked waking up with her and helping her cook eggs, ‘sunny side up’ she called it, and laughing as she made him whisk the batter for pancakes or waffles. Steve would head to the kitchen after a training session together, filling a pot with litres of water and drowning wide strips of pasta for scant minutes, before they were dredged, hot and soggy, in bitter tomato sauce and shavings of a hard, salty cheese that they ate in companionable silence. Sometimes Bruce would take over the kitchen for their occasional group meals, and the kitchen would keep the memory for days. A light perfume of the tangy, sharp ingredients that made up his masala dosas and bisi bele bhaath, mingling with the gentle scent of herbs hung to dry

On a day that the other Avengers were suitably occupied that it seemed unlikely they would have time for food, Thor set to work. Every butchers and supermarket he visited sold only the bisected flesh of an animal, and none with all the parts Thor desired, so he took up his Starkphone and found a good place for hunting in Long Island, which was only a few dozen miles from the Avenger’s tower. He walked there at a brisk pace in the morning, and came back that evening with sixteen summer hares. He brought them to the kitchen and skinned and quartered the animals. The bones he boiled down in water and vinegar, drawing out the marrow when they’d softened. Half the hares, still on the bone, were browned in an iron pan, and he decided to finish the roasting in honey and mustard. The pan was deglazed with ale, then vegetables, dill, the organ meats and much of the blood were added for the thickness of the sauce and left to simmer. The pelt he kept for gloves

Slowly, the others trickled in. Steve had frowned at the small mountain of pots Thor had been building in the sink, and had immediately started rinsing them and moving them to the dishwasher, waving away Thor’s apologies. Clint moved past, still in his SHIELD gear, stealing one of the orange vegetables Thor had used in his sauce. He looked surprised when he swallowed; pronouncing it metallic, but when Thor tasted the broth it was fine

I like! Lessening cultural culinary divides one ingredient at a time. Hopefully, Thor won't have to eat any more Pop-Tarts now. (Also, thank you for not making him an idiot. How sad is it that I feel I have to say that every time I read a Thor portrayal I like?)

If Tony doesn't want his liver tart, can I have it? That sounds delicious. Possibly not for dessert, though, but definitely a starter.

Oh, I like this! Food is so much a part of our lives. 'Comfort food' is the best phrase evah! ;)

But cultural tastes are certainly different and I like how Thor tried to bridge them, and the Avengers were polite to his efforts even when discarding liver tarts and scrunching up their face at the thought of blood! ;)

Natasha would have a different palate (Russian, of course) and Bruce had picked up unusual flavors on his travels. Steve grew up in a different time with a different way of preserving food, or none at all. In his day, you shopped every day because fresh food didn't last, and unless you were one of the lucky ones with a newfangled icebox, you couldn't keep meat and other things too long.

I love the stories they all told connected to food. Great fill! :)

What an amazing fill!!! Your characterisation of Thor is simply perfect! As is the Asgardian feast he's prepared :-)

I had no idea i needed cooking Thor in my life! This is brilliant! Thank you for smart Thor- I'm always Happy when Iget him in fiction...
Oh Tony! I think it's cute how squeemish americans are when it comes to eating offal - most cultures do, and the culinary use of blood is very wide spread . We have blood sausage in austria :-)
So, thank you, I loved your story! It makes sense that he would taste the high fructose corn syrup in everything, too...

This is fantastic! I love Thor's opinions on food and all the storytelling because let's face it: storytelling is one of the best parts of meal time. I also love how Thor is trying to be respectful and is just really aware of not insulting his host. It's so refreshing to see Thor written this way.

Awesome, amazing, superb job!!!
