Current Draft: Draft 2
MasterChef @@NAME@@
Validity: Has not banned meat-eating and embraced compulsory vegetarianism / veganism.
It is the finals of this year’s MasterChef @@NAME@@, and you have been invited on as a guest judge in what has been an incredibly close race for the prize money and the accolade of being the best amateur chef in @@NAME@@.
Option 1: "What I have made for you is a meal fit for refined royalty” boasts @@RANDOMNAME@@, an entrepreneur from a wealthy suburb of @@CAPITAL@@, extending @@HER@@ immaculately presented decadent dishes before you. "I’ve prepared a perfectly chargrilled medium rare wagyu steak, which will just melt in your mouth, topped with a carefully reduced @@ANIMAL@@ jus that will help bring out the flavour. Then for dessert, a tower of croquembouche, encased in a cage of fine-spun sugar. Only the best and most complicated of dishes should satisfy the refined palate of @@NAME@@, don’t you agree?"
(Effect: the rich feast like royalty on dishes that most citizens can neither pronounce nor afford)
Option 2: "Food doesn’t need to be complicated, it just needs to be good" says @@RANDOMNAME@@, an unemployed student from the slums of @@ANIMAL@@ City, laying out @@HER@@ generously portioned dishes. "I’ve made you a pizza with handmade dough topped with five different cheeses, as well as slices of pepperoni I prepared myself. The crust has been stuffed with cheese and pepperoni as well to make sure every mouthful is packed full of flavour! Then for dessert, a chocolate-caramel cake where the runny caramel will pour out the moment you cut it open. Enjoy!"
(Effect: @@NAME@@’s dishes they have been declared Weapons of Coronary Destruction)
Option 3: "So much meat, so much cheese, when will we learn to respect our blessed Mother Nature?" appeals @@RANDOMNAME@@, an animal-shelter volunteer from the untamed interior, while laying @@HER@@ carefully prepared vegan dishes before you. "What we have here is a twenty-seven-vegetable curry, where the flavour of each vegetable is brought out more by the spices and by one another. Then for dessert, vegan date cake using freshly made beetroot syrup as a binding agent. With dishes this healthy, this tasty, and that don’t require the harming of animals, is there any reason for @@NAME@@ not to go vegan?"
(Effect: slaughterhouses and fast-food restaurants lie abandoned as veganism sweeps @@NAME@@)
Option 4A: "How about some pan-seared liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti?" drawls psychiatrist Doctor Lannibal Hector, getting just a bit too close for comfort. "It was the favourite dish of our dear beloved judge @@RANDOMNAMEMALE@@, who disappeared mysteriously last week after he gave me a low score. I do wish we could chat longer but, I’m having an old friend for dinner.”
(Effect: @@NAME@@’s dishes are simply to die for)
[Option validity: Alcohol must be legal]
Option 4B: "How about some pan-seared liver with some fava beans?" drawls psychiatrist Doctor Lannibal Hector, getting just a bit too close for comfort. "It was the favourite dish of our dear beloved judge @@RANDOMNAMEMALE@@, who disappeared mysteriously last week after he gave me a low score. I do wish we could chat longer but, I’m having an old friend for dinner.”
(Effect: @@NAME@@’s dishes are simply to die for)
[Option validity: Alcohol must be illegal]
Option 5: "Forsake these gluttonous ways!" preaches @@RANDOMNAME@@, a stick thin devotee of the Tranquillity of Yellow, as @@SHE@@ clambers in through a window to protest against the contest. "Ban all cooking shows as the decadent displays of excess that they are, and insist that all citizens eat only humble, simple dishes, like a single small bowl of rice a day.” @@SHE@@ dodges security with surprising grace and escapes back out the window.
(Effect: citizens grumble as their stomachs rumble)
