"Beetroot?" said the Emperor.
"Er.. Yes," said Benny. "I have made it especially for Your Excellency's visit!"
A slightly awkward pause. "It's very good!" said Ron.
"Well, then we will have beetroot soup!" said the Emperor decisively.
"Thank you," said Benny."And if your Highnose likes it, I would like to name it in your honour."
"Well, then I hope I will like it!" said the Emperor.
The Emperor, and his footmen and generals tucked in to Benny's "special" beetroot soup. One of the generals spluttered a little, but dutifully ate it up when he saw the Emperor had polished his off. "You must give me the recipe so that I can have the Imperial Kitchen's Head Chef make it!" said the Emperor. The general gave a little snort, but disguised it as a cough. "It will be known as Emperor Peng Win Glorious Imperial Beetroot Soup!"
"Thank you!" said Benny, relieved.
