Imagine the cook-to-cook black market. One Vor imports a kilo. The cook
sniffs suspiciously, runs it under the scanner...
A small galactic lawsuit later, all the galactic cheesemongers know to
include scratch-and-lick samples, a vid, and an as-is clause when selling
to Barrayar.
Vorbraggart imports a kilo. Cook is appalled, but puts out a very few grams
on the cheese display, and when it's barely budged from the chilltray by
the end of the night, it goes a long way to flavor a sharp sauce...
A week later, and Vorambitious is hosting a party. Words, and a large
amount of the nigh unobtainable speciality of Vorambitious's District makes
its way into the Vorbraggart kitchen with the early delivery...
