Twilight tries to feed Applejack a salad. It doesn't go well.
Written for Quills and Sofa's "Write Something Terrible" Panic. The idea was to write a terrible story, but I interpreted it as "write a terrible idea inside a story."

If I were Applejack, I would have said, "Okay, Twi, if you think eating that 'salad' is so safe, why don't you eat it?" then watch and laugh at whatever BS excuses she tries to come up with. Or she might actually say I have a point, which would ruin my fun.
I was about to guess that maybe you had whatever I have when I come up with a crackfic.
Well, you did a good job for the prompt you were going off of. I can't say I'm that impressed by the end result, but I don't think I could have done any better myself. You managed to get some good crazy Twi in there, although it didn't go far enough to be that funny. One thing that does bug me is that you hard-coded Applejack's accent, which I find myself compelled to complain about in every fic that does it. Lastly...
Missed opportunity for "knock your horseshoes off". That is all.

Fair. If it means anything, I wrote it while also working, so I didn't get as much time in as I wanted. Re Applejack's accent, I suppose I can understand that. I find I prefer it hard-coded because it's more fun, but definitely I respect your viewpoint.
TY for pointing out the missed opportunity. Ah well.
Minor technical nitpick: enzymes are proteins that catalyze chemical reactions, but they're not the main structural components of food. I think I know what you're thinking of, though: food substitutes synthesized from microorganisms, like the vegan meat products made from fungi.

Yup, you're correct. That's part of what made the prompt extra silly, because of the scientific inaccuracy.
Amusingly enough, I just finished reading a Star Trek crossover, and this sounds a lot like it could easily have been a part of that story. XD
Edit: Waitaminute, that was YOUR story. I didn't realize you were the author of this one too, Dewdrops. XD

Hehehe, yup. Just a silly one off.
I get this reference! Back to the future!
Also, really good fic. I was waiting for it to turn out Applejack had sabotaged the project to keep her farm i n business. Nice work.

Yes!
Congrats on getting the reference, and thank you.
wow, this exhausts my own knowledge of the leafy greens! (except mustard i guess?)
aww! i can picture the exact grating Twilight laugh
wow, burn on Rainbow Dash!
it is fun to pair up this mad scientist that will overturn Equestrian society forever Twilight with the practical Applejack here
aww, what a delightfully MLP fanfic way to describe this!
gotta admit, i share Applejack's confusion here!
aww, and a nice friendship lesson to end on! sometimes a pleasant lunch with friends is better than trying to bootstrap an entire new genre of food product from hastily-assembled homemade magitek device
oh yeah, that is a very difficult prompt to work with! the idea of an artificial salad in particular does make the concept much more disturbing than if the technology were used to make, say, sandwich filling. fun little exploration of a terrible Twilight idea!
Howdy, hi!
I really liked the interaction between AJ and Twilight here. This was just really great comedy start to finish and just such out there science that couldn't help but love it. Also this line:
Really makes it for me. It's such a visually crazy thing that it sticks in my head even past first reading.
The setup and the payoff is super great. The just slow addition of more and more ridiculous behavior from Twilight to the eventual force eating of the salad that had the exact expected result was executed wonderfully.
Super enjoyable. Thanks for the read!
That is a perfect Applejackism and I love it so much.
Anyway, a nicely fleshed-out take on a nonsense prompt. Ah, the days when generative AI seemed like a silly fun joke…
