The assignment is as follows:
Background
Those of us who come from non-magical backgrounds can have a bit of a culture shock when it comes to some wizarding customs. One area that wizards and Unmagicals differ in is cuisine! It’s fairly uncommon for those in the Unmagical part of the UK to eat bugs, but in the magical part, it’s not necessarily out of place. Specifically, Wiggleworms are often eaten by wizarding folk, even in school.
If you’ve spoken to the Magical Cuisine Professor in the Hogsworth Kitchens, you’ll know that he likes to make the Fungimun Bundt Cake. Two of the four main ingredients of this cake are obtained from Wiggleworms!
However, while some of you may be fine with consuming Wiggleworms, that isn’t the whole story. The Magical Cuisine Professor actually gets the Wiggleworms from the Quad, a grassy outdoor area surrounded by classrooms. The Quad gets a lot of foot traffic with students often cutting across it to get to their classes. The Wiggleworm infestation of the Quad started a long time ago, but the Grounds Keeper has yet to get rid of them.
The Wiggleworms the Magical Cuisine Professor uses are unregulated pests that are subject to tampering by students. Some pesky students may stomp on them or even cast on them. In fact, the Magical Cuisine Professor often had students go and kill the Wiggleworms for him! This means that there is a possibility that the Wiggleworms are not safe to eat, but he feeds them to students anyway!
Assignment
Do you think the Magical Cuisine Professor should continue to use these Wiggleworms in his food? Would you ever eat a cake that he bakes or would you be too worried about the Wiggleworm tampering? Why or why not?
