Cook

**COOK** The cook Is described as someone with great talent at doing his job, making the best dishes in town. He has special techniques for how to make different foods. But unfortunately he has an ulcer on his shin which makes his food unappetizing and forces people to make a decision about whether to eat what he just made or not. We can also see that the cook does not run a clean kitchen and it doesn't seam like a safe place dine. Although it doesn't describe what he is wearing I can imagine him wearing a white chef shirt with shorts because the ulcer on his shin is visible and if he were wearing pants they wouldn't mention the ulcer because it wouldn't be exposed.. If I had to pick two characters from the Canterbury Tales that are similar to the cook, I would choose the miller because in his description they say he is a big guy and when I think of the chef I think big healthy looking guy. Also because the book mentions that the miller gets his job done just like the chef. He does his job to the best of his ability.The other character that I think is similar is the prioress because she know how to eat and so maybe the cook could make her well made food. They both seem to like the same things.

Quote: "He could distinguish London ale by flavor" "But what a pity so it seemed to me, that he should have an ulcer on his knee".
