[ The world is a different place at 5am. Rules don't apply to reality anymore. Bring Rey a food gift instead of forcing down something less than ideal, aka, one of the all-around better plans that Finn could apply to his lifestyle. ]
Can you like, cook? Rey's a fucking disaster and Poe also seems kind of like a disaster? The kinda dude who eats a spoonful of peanut butter out of the jar and calls it a meal, you know?
[ Who knows if Finn has seen Poe do exactly that by this point. He probably has. Everyone Finn is friends with is at least partly a disaster, that's why they get along with him so great. ]
I've... done kitchen duty rotations. Mess halls. [ Interesting line of questioning. ] Not sure I'd say it's the same as cooking. At least, not the way they do it out here.
[Taako, who knows that Poe is in some kind of rebel military, assumes that Finn is in the same situation. Not entirely, obviously, since Poe is some kind of fancy pilot and Finn is getting kitchen duty, but - still.]
I gave Rey a recipe book for Cand-- Hygge, whatever, in the hopes that she wouldn't like, die of malnutrition cause no one in this fucking place can cook.
[That's an exaggeration but he's a little bit drunk let him have this.]
Also, that's a nice thing for Taako to have done. That's probably exactly the kind of thing that Rey would be really touched by. To quote many a Telltale game, Finn will remember that. ]
Oh. It's just about following instructions, right?
Yup! I mean, I could give you some bullshit about real cooks not needing recipes and it being like, about knowing in your heart how much flour or whatever to use but if you're at the beginning level there's nothing wrong with following a fucking recipe.
[Taako doesn't use recipes a lot, he sort of glances at them to get a rough idea of what's required and then makes shit up, but he's a chef, not someone who's just figuring out this whole 'cooking' business.]
I wouldn't buy into it anyway. [ Beginner level is fine if he's not trying to really get anywhere with it. Like. "Not actively on fire" level. "Teach Poe how to not catch a marshmallow on fire when he roasts it" level. It sounds nice. ]
I figure if someone needs the extra help, they need the extra help. I'm definitely a someone.

Sure. I like the first one better, too.

I don't get out much. Makes it more interesting when I do.
