Ed looks like a lot of things with this new information. Confused is definitely one of them, but astonished is definitely another; "TV" predictably has no meaning to him, but Taako sounds really important and cool regardless, so he's definitely a fan, ears perking as his eyes practically twinkle. He also looks a little sheepish, though, like he's gone and embarrassed himself somehow. Truthfully, it's because he feels like he has; it was probably silly of him to have considered himself a decent cook in the presence of this guy.

Mostly it's his gut reaction to being floored that something he takes great pride in probably comes really easily to Taako, so presenting it as something really cool feels silly now. He'll get over it when everyone's turning into monsters.

"...that's... really cool." He's speechless otherwise, starstruck. "If it's not super presumptuous, I'd... like to try your food sometime, if the opportunity ever arises." Ed would normally extend a similar offer, but it feels sort of pointless to do that here, with Taako. Like showing a blacksmith how to make a knife.

"Were you cooking for someone before you came here?"
