Why This Must Be Read: You didn't think Daniel's bar of chocolate for Kasuf in the original movie and his ration bar for Chaka were the only candy diplomacy incidents, did you...?
This wacky series of misunderstandings and very awkward, grit-your-teeth-and-smile diplomatic gifts will have you snickering, even as you sympathize. The baby Chthulus are my favorite, but every one of these is a delightful tribute to the insanity that is off-world dealings!
The High Priestess of the Ct'uaa people on PXH-555 is one of the few people in the galaxy who doesn't like chocolate. She - and her people - like coffee quite a lot, true, but then they decide they like Daniel better.
It takes a hell of a lot of negotiating, arguing, bargaining, explaining and less-than-diplomatic hissy fits on both sides before the Ct'uaa accept that their offering of forty cynocephalus-milk cheeses and a half-share in their smallest some-new-and-apparently-unbelievably-useful mineral mine is, however reluctantly, not equal in value to the offworld visitors to Doctor Jackson, and take the coffee.
Oh, and pickled cabbage, once the High Priestess decides it tastes far better than chocolate. And no, neither the General nor anyone at home is undiplomatic enough to ask how the High Priestess found that out at all.
