Oh I'm itching to answer this one even though I know it would be a bad idea.
Blaise ought to have been on the 'thickest' list, he seriously has no IDEA how most of the people in the Protectorate live their lives. I think he honestly thinks it's a serious hardship to occasionally have to make your own breakfast, and he can't even begin to imagine life without oranges and other things that don't grow here.
BLAISE IT IS NOT THAT HARD TO MAKE A MEAL OF FOOD THAT'S NOT TRANSFIGURED. YOU JUST CHOOSE YOUR RECIPES CAREFULLY SO THEY ONLY USE INGREDIENTS THAT ARE GROWN HERE. A 'recipe' is a set of instructions for one of those dishes that appears on your table, so you know, and 'ingredients' are the bits that go in to them, and when I say 'grown here' I mean they come from FARMS like the ones on the Stretton's estates and muggles work in the fields and eventually we get apples and carrots and turnips and even mutton and beef and chicken. It's like magic! Except not really.
