The majority of Silver’s learning when it came to cooking naturally came from Randall and exposure to the man’s often crude, but effective teaching methods. He’d never been slapped with a fish before, but he certainly endeavoured never to face that particular brand of wrath again, and his performance in the kitchen notably improved aterward.
Of the crew, Randall was the only one to know Silver preferred insults in Spanish, as he claimed they were more creative. He even taught Randall a few, just for something to do between them – and frankly for a near mute the man seemed mighty interested in learning how to insult others in a language he wasn’t fluent in. Silver chalked it up to the fact every man tended to want to know the filthiest parts of a language first, and left it at that.
Due to this though, Randall could pick up on when Silver was having a momentary culinary struggle, if only because he would start insulting the food on account of being difficult. Which would lead to interventions when he was in a good mood – and a very sick crew when he wasn’t.
