Doctor's Sample of Exotic Food

The Doctor consumes a spoonful of a shiny green gloop during tense negotiations in Sil's Commerce Room, tasting it with visible enjoyment. The substance appears as a thick, viscous paste with a glossy surface, its color ranging between toxic waste and neon food dye. While its exact composition is never clarified, the Doctor treats it with familiarity, implying it may be an exotic protein or alien culinary oddity. Sil shows minimal interest beyond diplomatic obligations. This substance is not consumed on the TARDIS, contradicting the alternate designation.
