Scene 7: Hektor Maille finds Cloves
Syzygium aromaticum is one of the 20 ingredients of Maille-Masala, the hot spice blend of «Mission Kaki». Each ingredient that Hektor Maille finds during his research in India is reminiscent of a particular scene from the 20 different episodes of the travel adventure «Mission Kaki». Cloves refer to: Scene 5 in Episode 8 («Silence in Bangkok»).
One Day in the Life of Odette Sissay
18.30: Port-Louis, Quartiers des Rochers, Rue de Tokyo
«I'm almost done with the ionifict-script», said Tatjana Koslow when she saw Odette: «How is my father?»
«As long as you do as I say, the old man has nothing to fear. I've just bought him tripe soup.»
«My father hates innards.»
«He will eat it. I can warm it up.»
«Actually, how have you managed all these years to hide the fact that you simply cannot cook – not for us and certainly not for Hektor Maille?»
«Oh, I can cook. I can make tomato sauce – with broccoli, too, if required.»
«Yes, I know. Nevertheless…»
«I have always bought with skill.»
«Even so, I am amazed that a foodie such as Maille has failed to notice.»
«Imagination is also a form of education», retorted Odette, and for a fleeting moment there was an unusual note of sharpness in her quiet voice.
