🍴🍴 Horatio

{ Food Headcanons }

• Horatio actually has a very delicate stomach that is prone to nausea under the best of conditions. Heavy meals do not do well for him – anything cream or milk based is sure to set him off, and he cannot tolerate either even in his tea or coffee. ( He is, in fact, lactose intolerant! Not a diagnosis to be found until the 1960′s however. ) 

  Taking this and placing him aboard a ship is certain to induce a motion sickness, which is something Horatio suffers through the entirety of his career. Though it does get better, storms and long periods ashore can aggravate this condition and make it that much more intolerable later on. 

  Witch!Horatio takes an herbal concoction to combat it that sadly, our normal Horatio will never get hold of.  

• A Horatio exposed long to the New World is a danger to his bland counterparts in the fact that he actually makes use of the spices traded so proudly by his country. Introduction to fare in the south Americas makes for a broad and experimental palate that is rarely satisfied by typical English fare again.
