Mr. Bigmouth and Strut returned with the fruit and began washing them. They then placed them in a bowl and set it out in the dining room. They then returned to the kitchen.
"So what are going to do with these?" Zachary asked, holding up one of the hairy tubers.
"As an experiment, I cooked one in a campfire a few days ago. It was very similar to a baked potato but a bit sweeter," Mr. Bigmouth replied.
"And this won't kill us will it?" Dr. Zanasiu asked.
Mr. Bigmouth stuck all the tubers into his messenger bag. "You know, I'd better get Jason," he said. "But the fruits, bark, fish, shellfish and vegetables I can assure you are safe. I had Jason scan them," he added.
Mr. Bigmouth then left the kitchen.
"Ah, new ingredients! Excellent, I will attempt to make some new recipes," Haresh said.

Mr. Bigmouth found Jason refilling the a pitcher with essential water. "Jason, these tubers have been harvested from the Great Valley. Dinosaurs are capable of eating them but I am not sure about this world's beings, would you mind scanning them?" he asked, handing over the messenger bag. "Actually, I also have another request, can you give myself some instrument to determine if this world's beings can safely eat a particular plant or not?" he added.
