Drinking contest

Alex dragged the shark corpse up the stairs to the canteen getting a few looks from the people he passed but nobody said anything. The head chef gave Alex an exasperated look as he saw the six foot long shark in his jaws. Despite the headache that came with Alex always challenging him to make good food with the strangest ingredients the head chef was equally thrilled at furthering his culinary mastery. This time was no different as the chef expertly disassembled the corpse while placing the really fine ingredients such as the liver and heart separate from the rest of the entrails.

Soon the skin was stripped away followed by the flesh and finally the bones were segmented neatly. The chef set the bones in a huge pot with water near the fire the slowly stew down into stock while the liver was wrung of it's oil and minced up along with the heart and some vegetables into a pan to fry in the oil with some seasoning added. The meat was just flat out slapped onto the huge stone stove that was basically just a massive flat stone suspended over as crackling fire at all times.

Alex figured this was basically a huge griddle top since it was greased lightly and the meat fillets were popping on the stone as the chef sprinkled salt and pepper over the raw side before flipping it and doing the same to the other. When the meat was done cooking the chef placed it to the side to rest while starting the stir-fry with the heart and liver with vegetables that he waited to get soft before adding starch and flour to the mixture. he then poured it into a pie crust and covering with a layer of dough before popping it into the open faced fire oven.

Finally the fillets were lightly splashed with a mix of lemon juice and mint sake before being served alongside the mince pie that was set to the side to cool while Alex ate the fillets. "Oi , that smells like some good stuff you got over there sid!" a man with long black hair and goggles on his forehead called out as he walked over. Alex's eyes narrowed as he recognized the local glutton who practically lived at the canteen when not out hunting.

"How's about a friendly wager here sid? see I really want that food ya got there but I know you aren't gonna share unless necessary so this way i at least have a chance , what do ya say?" The man asked with a sly grin. Alex looked at the man suspiciously and wrote on the dirt with his claw "what sort of wager?" The man smiled "why just a friendly drinking contest is all!" The man said with a wide grin like he had already won. Both alex and the head chef look at the man like he was an idiot before making eye contact and having a nonverbal conversation.

'Is this guy serious right now?' Alex's eyes said and the head chef could only shrug 'probably' his own eyes said honestly. The reason for this nonverbal conversation was that it was pretty well known that Alex was entirely unaffected by consuming poison and as a result alcohol was little more than added flavor to him. Challenging him to a drinking contest was basically asking him if you wanted to die from alcohol poisoning , insane or highly foolish. Apparently this man simply hadn't heard of Alex's immunity to alcohol so in the end Alex agreed with the man's suggestion.

It surprised no one that the man did in fact not get to eat any of the food that was made for Alex but ended up needing someone to drag him to his quarters to sleep off the huge amount of alcohol he ingested. Alex was like expected completely unaffected by the alcohol in his body as it was processed without issue thanks to both [poison resistance] and [omnivore] making him not need to worry about such a thing.
